Nokia N95

re: The pixelated zoom... As the N90 is Optical zoom (the lens assembly moves as in a zoom lens) and the N95 is Digital zoom (no moving lens optics during zooming, instead a steadily-decreasing surface-area of the CMOS detector is 'blown-up' to full size as the zoom increases), I'd be totally staggered if this had been able to be matched to the N90 display and correspondingly better end-results, by a firmware upgrade!!

I would point out that although the zoomed N95 display is badly pixelated, the resulting photo, after some very heavy processing in the phone, looks nowhere near as bad as the display, though admittedly, nothing like as sharp as a non-zoomed photo.

Can I also point out that posting pics sized at 1024x768 plays havoc with screen formatting on a 1024x768 max. screen! Please stick to an absolute maximum pic size of 800x600, that way the page doesn't need to be constantly scrolled left & right to read the posts on the pages that the pics appear on! ... Thanks!

As some people have v.21 of the firmware in their N-95's, then obviously, it already HAS been released...

But at the present time, it's not yet widely available, have patience! ;)

Never had that problem with v20

3-the freak "Battery Low" warnings.When you have less than ~3.62 volts of power in your battery, phone starts to show "Battery Low" warnings.All good so far.The problem is, unlike older phones, the warnings pop up very often.Any action that consumes considerable amount of energy causes one (or two, sometimes) "Battery Low" warning. For example, you browsing the web.If you click in a link, phone shows "Battery Low".The page loads.You click in another link.Another two consecutive "Battery Low"'s appear.

Never had that problem with v20 but then I try never to let my battery fall below 50%

4-When using phone as a Bluetooth modem, it loses connection with the computer very easily.

Never had that problem on v20, used two different bluetooth dongles. Loses connection with the network but never with the bluetooth side.

Digital zoom, like the N95 has, can never compete with optical zoom. I just avoid zooming too much LOL
