Any N95 owner managed to get the bar code scanner to work ??

Not yet, tried it last night but got bored after of 5 mins looking like i was inspector cluso with his magnafying glass

same here... any luck with the GPS ?

I've used the GPS a bit in pattaya and its pretty good.

DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE FUCKING PHONES THEY ARE TOTAL SHIT!!!

I AM ON MY 2ND IN 3 WEEKS AND IT'S PLAYING UP ALREADY!!!!!

be sure to set the lens to macro while using the bar-code scanner

Excuse the stupid question, but why would anyone want to scan barcodes with a cell phone?

cell phone ???

The N95 is "a multimedia computer"

Whatever you want to call it, the N95 is expensive. Every once in a while, though, I get the urge to buy a new toy of some sort. The other day I was in a bar and people there were having great fun taking movies of each other and taking pics, all with their phones. At that point I got the idea that a new phone might be fun. Totally unnecessary, but fun.

My current phone is a rather basic Samsung flip-phone with a camera, but the camera isn't so good. Of course, the phone part works fine.

Looking at all the phone reviews just drove me crazy, though. Has anyone tried a Nokia N-80 Internet edition? That was the last thing I was looking at. It would be fun to have a phone with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an Internet browser. Good for checking stock quotes, Email, and so on.

I also saw a new phone Motorola is coming out with, the Motorola MOTORIZR Z8. That looked pretty slick.

I'm lucky in that i get my phones for free due to my brother working in the mobile phone business. He gave me the N95 for free but i have been using Sony Ericsson for years and have never had a problem. They are easy to use. This fucking Nokia thing is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, and it is my 2nd one in 3 weeks as the head set went on the first one.it does take great pics though (5 mega pixels and DVD like filming) but they wanted to beat Sony with this standard of film and photo type phone and have rushed it, and to put it mildly made a bad job of it. Wait till Sony have got the same kind of film and photo as the N95. I asked my brother when that'll be and he said about Xmas as they want to get it perfect.

I have the standard N80, but all the software loaded on it is for the Internet Edition and it works just like an internet edition
I have been able to use it with VoIP using Gizmo and there are other applications available for VoIP also

I am happy with mine, but sometimes wonder why the camera response is so slow

Thanks for the info guys. It seems like no matter when you look, there's always something new and better around the corner. I did see a few reviews, though, from people who were having problems with their Nokia N95. Maybe I'll have a look t the Sony Ericssons.
