Hi all,
Well my N95 8GB arrived early afternoon yesterday so after letting it charge to full i started to set it up. First impressions are the build quality is excellent the slider is really firm if not a little stiff right now, it feels really good in the hand and there is nothing lose squeaking or rattling. The screen is even better than on the original and it seems really fast to.
Here are the obligatory unboxing pictures.
As i am already a Nokia S60 user i uninstalled my previous PC Suite as that was for the E Series and the N Series now has it it's own.
After it was installed i proceeded to sync the last two years worth of Calendar entries and all my contacts. Once this was complete i proceeded to install my apps
Handy Taskman
Handy Clock
Screenshot
Windows Live Messenger ( as with this VodaFone version it was not in downloads )
Fring
and sent my YAHOO Mail account settings to the phone via the Nokia configurator. I then quickly set up my WiFi and i then proceeded to sync all my e-mail messages to both accounts. I then proceeded to copy my Documents, Pictures and Video's to the device.
As the new N Series PC Suite includes a Nokia N series video converter and has an optimised output for your device i decide to try it. This was a major disappointment as not only was conversion quite slow but it resulted in nearly double the size files. Also it had the effect of causing my computer to freeze and require a re start. I am not impressed and will not be using it again.
I deleted the files i had converted both of them and then put the device in Mass storage mode and just dragged and dropped all my Films and Video's which was much quicker. As my files where previously converted for my iPod they are already in H.264 320x240 and look great on the N95's screen.
So far in using the device the OS is both fast and responsive and has most of the time after using Handy Taskman over 82mb free Ram. I haven't as yet decided if this replace my iPod for my Music or not. But here are a few more pictures including one in the PDAir case which is why the lack of Lens cover is not an issue for me. Will test the Camera shortly when i take the dog for his run.
Here is a screen shot just look at all that free RAM.

Edited to add additional pictures of rear of the N95 8GB and SU-8W bluetooth keyboard.

Great first review post, Marc!
Glad you're happy with it so far...although Otis doesn't seem so impressed, by the looks of him in your first picture!
Look forward to hearing more from you(while I try to obtain an N82 for myself, will be fun)...hope it serves you well!
