MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Have had the N95 for the last couple of years but it's just died , the thing is it was a perfect phone for me and all the new ones are like computers with a phone on .
The things i need are a loud loudspeaker as i use it on loudspeaker quite a bit , decent texting , a good camera and if it's got internet it's a bonus .
Maybe i'm thinking these new SMART phones are more difficult to use than they are so any help or reccomendations would be nice
On the contrary, most are significantly easier to use than an N95. Texting with a QWERTY keypad is much quicker, especially with proper spell-checking, GPS is vastly superior, the OS is much, much easier to navigate, cameras are also much better. I had an N95, and frankly I thought it was crap. It was the original version, but a camera that refused to focus even on a large static object, GPS that could only function properly with an external Bluetooth receiver, and a piddly little screen, really left me totally underwhelmed and I was so glad to finally replace it with a smartphone that had GPS that worked, a camera that worked, and an OS that was sheer simplicity to navigate, and texting and emailing that were also dead easy to set up and use. Current smartphones are, indeed, pocket computers with a phone app added to allow net access via the cell network. As it happens, I went for the iPhone 3G, because two years ago there were no Android or Windows Phone 7 devices around. Personally I wouldn't swap, but others prefer certain aspects of the different OS forms. I had Viewranger on my N95, and I have the DVD with all the maps on, and I now have it on my iPhone 4, and it works beautifully, along with Copilot Live 8. You'll find current smartphones fulfill all your requirements and others you haven't even thought of.
ok i'll not be able to get the iphone cos it's still silly money so what's worth having with a good battery life . We used a iphone with a mapping app to navigate the Welsh coast to coast in july and it only had a couple of brain farts so very good really , so i see your point
N95 was a computer too!
I went from it to a 5800 and was very pleased with it. They are cheap as chips too.
