Talk:Nokia N95: Difference between revisions

 

==Added CPU type==

 

Dual CPU

3D Graphics HW Accelerator

 

 

 

 

For some strange reasons to put the specifications of CPU about cellphone are usually removed, may be because this information can be confidential (in fact it is not) or another kind of reasons.

Being a anti-global supporter of national industry I oppose CHines manufactured Western products. Does anyone know here this phone is manufactured? Thanks! [[User:Koalorka|Koalorka]] 23:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

:This is the talk page for the article, and not the place to ask questions about this phone. Try asking on a forum or somewhere like Nokia's own discussion boards. As an aside, given that Nokia is a multi-national company, you might need to specify which 'nation' you want to support the industry in. Ultimately, unless you're Finnish buying Nokia doesn't have much jingoist value. [[User:Wibbble|Wibbble]] 23:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

 

==redirect appropriate?==

 

When I think of N95, I think of a [[NIOSH]] certification level for respiratory protection (masks). Therefore, I wonder if it's appropriate to have a redirect that goes to this page. I know there isn't an article for respiratory protection (or at least I havent found it), but still--[[User:Coryma|{{SUBST:User:Coryma}}]] 23:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

::OK, well explained. Thanks. --[[User:Coryma|{{SUBST:User:Coryma}}]] 23:19, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

:Also, see [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation]] - perhaps a disambiguation link at the top of the article would suffice, although it would require creating the article in the first place. [[User:Wibbble|Wibbble]] 00:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

So someone added this in anyway, even without an article to go to. Why? I disagree, as the N95 is surely (going to be) more popular than some mask certification level thing. [[User:87.75.140.141|87.75.140.141]] 17:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 

== MicroSD support. ==

 

I've edited the article to just say 'microSD card' and not list any capacity. It's not wikipedia's place to inform buyers or anything like that - since this is an issue under debate, I think it's best to just avoid it entirely in the encyclopedia. People looking for other users' experience with the N95 can go to forums, discussion boards, and review sites. [[User:Wibbble|Wibbble]] 23:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 

== So Does it have [[FOTA]] ("Firmware over the air" update ability) or Not ???? ==

:::: Since the batter issue is not a aislated trouble then the sums of all reviews must be considered like valid. Otherwise the only appropiate proof of failure must came from Nokia and this will never happens. So in other words common sense must prevail and wiki rules are too flexible to allow it. --[[User:Magallanes|Magallanes]] 00:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 

 

: You bet comments on the very poor battery life should be included! In fact, I wrote quite a lengthy comment on that a few months ago, but it was repeatedly deleted for various bogus reasons. Had that comment been left in place (and perhaps a note added to the main article), users like you would never have those problems, because you would never buy the phone in the first place. Seems to me that some hardcore fans or Nokia employees are haunting these discussion boards, or the admins are rather fascinated about certain flashy (yet useless) capabilities, instead of being concerned with serious issues this device has.

:::My bad... I was reading WLAN not WAN (and ignoring the slightly puzzling "tethered"). I have been looking for a way to use the device as an IAP for the 3G network using WiFi (thus allowing sharing of the 3G connection with multiple laptops). I don't think that's possible but it would have been a very nice feature to build in for business users.

::::What you looking for is possible, but not with the phone alone. You need a special access point that connects to your phone. Its essentially a wireless router where the WAN port connects to the phone. Beware, these are pricy...1000+ USD.--[[User:Wiki fanatic|Wiki Fanatic]] | [[User talk:Wiki fanatic|Talk]] 23:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

 

I may have misunderstood, but if tethering with the N95 is anything like the Sony Ericsson K800i, just a simple Bluetooth connection to a notebook is all it takes to use it as (essentially) a Bluetooth HSDPA modem. The guy I spoke to in the T-Mobile store here in the UK also mentioned being able to connect it wirelessly to my notebook. Hope this helps.

== Price? ==

can we please have some info about price? A ballpark figure will do, after all, Wikipedia is a great resource used by people worldwide because of its very detailed articles. [[User:203.214.98.123|203.214.98.123]] 10:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

:Price varies with place of purchase. In the US, it can be bought unlocked for 750 USD plus tax. In Europe and Asia, it can be bought unlocked or locked for various prices, depending how much carriors subsidise it.--[[User:Wiki fanatic|Wiki Fanatic]] | [[User talk:Wiki fanatic|Talk]] 23:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

 

== US Version? ==

 

Given the dazzling argument [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wibbble#Nokia_N95 here] against the entire section, I agree with that slightly incoherent IP user and I'm going to remove the entire section as unreferenced. If anyone can find reliable, verifiable, references, and can justify the whole section under [[WP:NOT]] as mentioned above, speak up here before adding it back in.

== Referencing ==

 

:::WIkipedia isn't a consumer guide, and if we're going to list all the things that every product with an article '''doesn't''' do or have, all the articles would get very long. I'm going to remove this while doing some other clean-up of the article. Before adding this sort of thing, please remember that wikipedia isn't a review site, or supposed to tell you if a phone is 'good'. There's other sites that are for that, and you should read reviews there rather than trying to make wikipedia into something it's not. (Oh, and adding a reference doesn't make it suitable for inclusion, unless you want to show that charging over USB was a widely expected feature and many reviewers noted it for not existing - which is unlikely given that the only Nokia phones to charge natively from USB are micro-USB, and not mini-USB.)

==Image changes?==

 

:These images are official, they were released by Nokia. I felt it was better to have them there because they are from Nokia, and not taken by a user, like the old picture which had a picture of a guy on the screen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nokia_N95.png) and the other picture didn't have the N95 8GB in fully (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:N958GB_1.jpg) <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/89.100.109.195|89.100.109.195]] ([[User talk:89.100.109.195|talk]]) 04:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
