my d-pad was also hard to press down, but only in the beginning. after 2 weeks, it works fine now. there isn't the same 'click' feel as in the other directions, but i don't need to press it hard to go down in the menus.

I've had the C095 from O2 UK for a week now and seems like an awesome phone.
Few things I've noticed so far:
- The camera cover is a little wobbly
- Problem with keypad numbers 5 & 6, the numbers look broken when the LEDs behind them are lit up, sort of like the light is being blocked.
- I have no problem getting a GPS connection but when I load wayfinder navigation it works for like 5-10 seconds and then just freezes. I have to take the battery out before it works.
Anyone else have the GPS problem, its really annoying me!
BTW I'm on software version 038, no new updates for me apparently.

Had a play with one of these a live one in a 3UK store. Very nice phone. But. Although i know the pics look great on the screen i thought they looked blurry and the camera would not focas properly. Also i do not like the slide cos it never locked into place when pushed upwards. Or could it be a rubbish 3UK one in store.

@ Hansen Wayfinder Active is no longer free.
Thanks for updating me. It was free a couple of weeks ago. Since they are now charging also for the basic application I really hope they solve all reported problems regarding the purchase, use and position deviation of the optional topograhic maps for sweden. The basic map works well though and positioning is precise. I see they have now also added official support for C905.

Finally another wobbly camera cover.
I have this too but it doesn't seem to be common among the C905 users of this thread.
The keypad phenomenon is widely spread, I think. My guess is its present in all units shipped so far.
Haven't experienced Wayfinder freezing so far.

Thanks for the Wi-Fi sharing info!
And with regards to the comment about the lack of a torch; SE doesn't enable the torch option whenever there's a cover over the lamp.
I presume this is because they haven't added any code to check if the lens cover is open before activating the torch (so it would say 'open lens cover'). If the torch remained on with the cover on, it would get very hot (it's quite surprising just how hot the flash LEDs can get).

I'm at least glad I'm not the only one with some of these problems.
Are there any alternatives to using Wayfinder? Does Garmin or TomTom have anything that will work on the C905?
Someone said Trekbuddy but that was too complicated for me and plus I don't care if the maps have to be downloaded as I got a unlimited data plan.

I reflashed my phone a couple of days ago and it installed carphone warehouse navigator on it as well as the other one?

Trekbuddy is a bit of a pain to set up and its still only GPS at the end of it, not sat nav.
For a free fully-featured Sat Nav ap (you do need a data bundle) then try AmazeGPS. That works on my phone though I still have yet to test it in the car.

Can anyone else stream media, e.g. from m.youtube.com, using WiFi connection?
I've tried with Opera 4.2, Vtap and the SE built in browser, but nothing works. It tries to connect to media server for a while and then says that it cannot connect to the media server.
Everything else works ok on the phone, e.g. surfing and downloading etc. There are no problems streaming media on my computers connected to the same network.
