Tempted by the Nokia N95

I've not changed mobile phones for about 18 months now, a record by my own standards! ;) My trusty Sony Ericsson W900i is still going strong. One thing I did realise after getting a SIM free phone (I got the W900i SIM free when in Hong Kong) is that my network's portal may not work with it. In my case, Vodafone Live was no longer usuable, with only text showing when I connect to it. Booo!

I've been looking at the new Nokia N95 for a good while now. It has some really cool features, not least of which is the GPS function. From some of the reviews I've seen, this piece is a tad unrealiable as a proper locator, and is somewhat weak too, so the emphasis is probably not on using it for car navigation but just as a handy-to-have extra when you're out and about.

I've made my mind up to move from Vodafone to 3 pretty soon, and was hoping that they'd get the N95 soon. I very nearly picked up a SIM free N95 at the 3G store in Dundrum on Friday last, but the price was a big problem.. €759! That, and the fact I was going to change networks soon anyway, meant that playing the waiting game was probably the sensible way to go. :D
