I just got a cheque for over £110 for mine thanks to one of those phone recycling sites. Best thing for it. Worst phone I've ever had.
The 5800 is alright though, apart from not being able to text on it with man thumbs.
iPhone should be free next month on 02. Hooray!
Glad I'm not the only one having these problems with the N95! Mine also has the new ability for the back to randomly fall off the phone and the battery to fall out!!! It is now held together by blu-tac (classy!)! Got another 4 months with it before i'm eligible for an upgrade! |

I'm due an upgrade on Orange from now onwards. Probably going to get the HTC Touch HD. Can upgrade for free in Carphone Warehouse abelt giving myself a £45 a month bill. Still i pay nearly that much at the moment anyway.

Nope, mine was it's predecessor - the silver one. A colleague has the black one and has had none of the problems. I just feel sorry for the poor African blighter who gets my recycled one... his WAP access will be limited by the poor battery life I can tell you. |

My mobile ended up dead when I was hilariously pushed into the pool - sent to Samsung to get fixed. Came back, worked for 3 days and now always acts as if the battery is dead.
Now, when I put the charger in, it acts as if it is charging and when I turn it on, it goes on for like 15 seconds and then the screen flashes white and it goes back to the start again. Bizarrely enough, when I take the battery out, this still happens. Surely with the battery out of the phone it shouldn't be on at all, even with the charger plugged in?

Mine is the old silver version which was fine for the first couple of months or so then the problems started. Downloaded all the relavent updates for it which, if anything seemed to make the phone worse! Took it back to the Orange shop in town who sent it back for repair. Came back all working fine... a few weeks later its back to how it was! The problems with the first N95 are extremely common, hence the quick replacement of it by the new model. My advice would be too stay clear of the silver N95 no matter how cheap you can get one, they all have problems and the battery life of a butterfly. |

Couple of things to try with the N95. Change the WAP settings so it only connects when needed not when available. No idea why this is the default setting but your battery will get a bum raping especially if your coverage is patchy.
In addition if you’re flicking between 2G and 3G coverage fire it down to 2G (GSM) only under network settings as this will again arse rape the battery as it’s performing twice the amount of work switching between networks.
