I don't have any idea what made me sell my Nokia N73 and buy a E70 instead .. I deeply regret that decision since day 1, why? The Joystick didn't last long, it was damaged after a couple of weeks, the well-known RAM-Bug, bad Materialquality etc ..
Financial Problems as well as the horrible Price for the Nokia N95 left no other choice to wait - Luckily, thanks to womworld, i was able to get my hands on a trial device (final model) and satisfy my needs .. (Some of my thoughts will come up soon..) All what's left of the Device, was my broken heart when i had to send it back finally ..
Anyway - the time has come now to do some brainstorming, as i'm able to get myself a new toy .. but what the hell should i get? N95?? N76?? Or has anyone something better in mind which could fit to me .. !?
Some Thoughts on the N95:
The Nokia N95, Nokia's Featurebomber Numero Uno has been in my hands already. The Multiple Possibilities to use that Phone are amazing, no doubt about that! The huge Screen which enables you to watch the excellent pics, produced by the 5 MP Carl Zeiss Camera, the DualSlider, the excellent Mp3 Player, HSDPA, the 3,5mm Audio Jack, Mini USB, .. The List of Features doesn't seem to have an end, much to the likes of all the Powerusers like i am ..
But Nokia didn't miss their (maybe wanted) little Bugs on the Device .. What to do with a sensational phone, that needs to be charged at least twice a day!?? Why 240x320 screen resolution only, instead of 352x416 or even higher!? Why paying at least 650 Euro for a Phone which has an extremely wobbly Slidermechanism? And 20 MB RAM?? .. Oh come on ..
I personally didn't have a problem, charging the phone every few hours, i think the only place i don't have a Charger is my Toilet! Also i did came along with the other bugs and mistakes, and according to some guys from Germany, the NSCs are already repairing the Sliders, the new Ones are solid like a Rock! Yes, i DO like the N95!...
Some Thoughts on the N76:
I felt in Love with this One when i visitied this Year's CES Event in Las Vegas back in January with a bunch of supercool Mobile Phone Freaks like i am! (Hi Guys! ;)) It was Love at first sight actually, my Addiction for slim Phones is well known all over the Internet and 13,9mm Thickness are a statement! Of Course Nokia clearly has missed the trend for slim Devices, but however, i'm pretty sure if you have looked for something from Nokia before, the N76 will fully satisfy! No Matter how you look on it, the N76 is REALLY sexy! I love the design, i love the fact that you can shoot pictures with the phone closed, open it and have a look on the result on the "big" internal screen! But could it be a good move to buy a phone only for the design, after all this one doesn't bring any huge improvements ..
Some of the bad points i couldn't believe first was the Fact that Nokia wanted to save some Money on the wrong Side and put a ridiculous 700mAh Battery in the N76! (How the Hell had that Idea!??) .. Owners of the already available Device reported, that the Material also wasn't that good, especially those "Chrome" Parts seemed to be worse than expected, also fingerprints are N76' best Friends ..
... So what would you choose!? N95? N76? Or has anyone some better ideas!?? Comments are welcome! ..
