I wonder when the N95 will be available here. But I am more interested in the E61i and E90. Those are the guys I have my eyes on.
In the meantime, let's have Mariwun's user comments on the N95 please.

I would really like to see the E90 too, a communicator running on series 60? that would be interesting to use. I must say that Nokia is being more innovative and daring than
who seem content in rolling out one walkman phone or the other. It would be a delight to have an
"communicator" with an I-mate form factor, running UIQ3

With only 20mb free RAM available for running applications, you are likely to encounter that more often as you run heavy tasks and multiple applications.
I get that message too on my E61 from time to time when multi-tasking, especially with the heavier applications.
Why Nokia would implement only 20mb in a device like the N95 beats me. The E61 and E61i too have 20mb free RAM. Ordinarilly, I would be content with the E61i, but 20mb RAM? What would be the point of adding a still and video camera and RAM limitation stays the same? Even the much older N70 has 32MB, for crying out loud!
That's one more reason for me to gun for the E90, whose specs say 76mb free RAM. Then,
hopefully, I can say goodbye to RAM limitations.

@all: So I missed PNFs 500th page!!! who was 1st to get on it? you guys were too busy arguing Celtel palavar!!!
@AYA:
And gradually, the people awake to the reality that there are better deals available with the CDMA operators. As I have said before, for day-to-day use, running a regular prepaid GSM line is economically suicidal.
Thats what i couldnt agree with. If you took the time to try the task i gave y'all you would see how tariff insensitive people can be. You cant say that FACT: NIGERIANS ARE NOT. You may not be. I am definitely not. But the pople I deal with day in day out trying to sell CDMA phones are in a majority that is far out weighing those who aren't. As long as most people can give the excuse for not using CDMA like " what of when i travel" (when they spend most of the year in one town, or "what if i want to change my phone" (when they dont change thier GSM phones that often) they have to be tagged as being tariff insensitive. The offers that the CDMA operators have been giving aren't new. CDMA has been cheaper for a long time and it hasnt made a dent in GSM growth.

"Can be" is a different ball game from "are". Agreed, people can be insensitive. But most of the time, as I have explained, its ignorance.
Why, if people are so tariff insensitive, why do some of us claim here that every Tom, Dick and Harry are jumping on free night call freebies and free this and lower that?
How can you even suggest that too many Nigerians are tariff insensitive when many GSM subscribers own 2-3 lines for the sake of taking advantage of one freebie here and another there?
As said before, the PTO issue is due to past prejudices and info. Its a case of ignorance. Educate them and see the difference, as I have. Maybe its a location thing. Where I live, enlightenment is the order of the day. As the information filters, people do the logical thing and get lines from PTOs, whether for personal or business use.
There certainly exist Nigerians that are tariff-insensitive. But you cannot even hope to be accurate when you say "too many" Nigerians are so. How did you arrive at "too many" out of a country of 140million people? Provide your statistics please.
Still, I see your point about what I posted earlier. Permit me to re-phrase: "Fact: Nigerians are
generally NOT tariff insensitive." That was what I meant to say; it came out wrong.
Nigerians may have prejudices that mean they esteem other factors above the price factor. But everything we see from day to day indicates that Nigerian are generally not tariff insensitive.

The E90 seems really interesting specwise. I also like the 5700 music phone too. Nokia has really been innovative and impressive with their range and latest releases. I hope they'll be offering a nice touch-screen very soon.

No doubt about Nokia's new drive, though the Nokia-haters will continue bashing them (as the SE-haters will continue bashing SE for everything possible too).
A touchscreen from Nokia would be interesting. They experimented with one some time back but it never made a hit. I guess they just went back to what they were good at after that and got better
