Think about this for a moment. If that were the case, you wouldn't have a phone at all. Name one, just one phone that is without any flaws. In this very forum there are two super long threads still complaining about the k800i, and the P990 that are almost a year old. Get my point. Your statement while understandable, is a bit short sighted at best. Phones have problems. People demand new, better, faster, and they want it now. Many are not willing to wait though, with you being in this crowd it seems. I have an N95 with problems but I also know that Nokia has a better track record of trying to meet customer satisfaction than SE.

When you say v11, do you mean v11 of Smart2Go?
Or are you talking about firmware? I'm sure i have the latest firmware thats for sure.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the geography lesson.
Yup. I was talking about the upgrade that has been released. It takes the phone from V10 to V11. The phone responds faster and supposedly GPS is faster. I do not know as the moment I got home with my phone I immediately upgraded to V11. To check go *#0000# and this will tell you the f/w version you have.

Dude.... I think you need to make sure you understand what people mean before you write a long post about it.
My point was that I'm glad I didn't buy it because I'm after a high class GPS, which the N95 lacks. I wasn't talking about bugs in phones in general.

Well, you could write a bit more than one sentence don't you think? You were not too clear.
High class GPS: Garmin GPSMap60 CSx. There you go. Solved your issue for you. This has the SIRF Star III chipset and can get a lock on at least 5 satellites in less than 45 seconds from a cold start. I know because I have one.
Do a search, and you will see the "love" that this unit gets from its owners and fans.

Well, since it only was once sentence, as you pointed out, I didn't excpect a reply either. Anyway, you seem to want to help people so fair enough.
About the GPS, I'll probably look into a good external bluetooth solution, but thanks for the tip.

Let me make it clear I am not a Nokia fan.
I am a P990 fanboy actually. However, this needs to be said for fairness.
I have used my P990 with TomTom 6 and the LD-3W GPS receiver extensively. One of my friends recently got an N95 and was talking it up to no end, so I challenged him to swap phones for a week so I could point out the failings of the N95.
It turns out the damn thing kicked my ass back to believing in Nokia, as far as GPS navigation goes. I shit you not. Yes, it took a couple minutes for it to get a lock on from a cold boot, however, unlike external receivers, the GPS in the N95 stays on while the phone is on, so once youre locked on, it stays locked. Even if it lost connection, e.g. in a tunnel or while under a flyover, it would lock back on much faster than the P990/TomTom/LD-3W combo I have. And it never took me into any forests, for the record
It never took me anywhere I did not expect to go, while when I was in Boston last month the P990/TomTom/LD-3W deal took me round in circles (literally) around Commonwealth Avenue when going from downtown to the airport.
Although it was only a week's worth of navigation, as opposed to months of having the P990 and TomTom around, I was surprised...and impressed.
Just my 2 cents.
PS the camera in the N95 is stunning. There have been several reports of over-sharpening in the produced images, but this can actually be turned off before taking the shot. Looks like a bug in the firmware. AllAboutSymbian has a new post about this today:
