Newbie: Just got n95 what to do to it?

[aych]

everyone's getting a rogers n95-4 because of the 99$ dollar deal!. first thing you can do with your phone is make a phone call! then debrand, reflash and make another phone call! (hopefully not the service center) then install so much it gunks up your phone.. and reflash and do it all again more sensibly =P

the debranding really helps. v20 is so much better than v11

You don't know what to DO with it?

Well, for a start, you can set your alarm clock(s) for the morning and sync your calender, contacts, notes and emails - just to get you started.

Load a few albums on it - some TV episodes or a movie could be good too!

You could explore your home city using the SatNav whilst using a guide to show you the sights, whilst your out, take a few photo's and upload them directly to your blog to share on the move. - if you're feeling tekky loved up, why not shoot a video, edit a muvee and send it to a mate?

For a more basic function of the phone, why not make a video call to someone, if you want cheapness, install Fring or Skype for free VoIP.

In fact, why not go on-line and browse news websites, download mp3's or videos. - If your into pod casting, subscribe to a few to get regular updates by audio or video.

You can also back up some of your essential documents on your SD Card and when you've sorted that chill out with a game or two..

And here's the really cool bit... IT MAKES PHONE CALLS TOO!!!

These are just some of the reasons why I love my N95!

That was a really 'fun' to read review durrson. I enjoyed reading it, simple and to the point.

[Bigboysexy]

it's been like 10 mins, it says updating the software, preparing installation, how long does it take? or did it freeze?

Cheers.

I'm in the same boat as BBS.

Is there a tutorial to debrand the phone? I've been trying to search but can't seem to find the specific thread.

If anyone could link me to a debranding tutorial thread or even durrson's review that would be great.

Thanks!

I also heard the by debranding it, it disables the auto-rotate feature...


Is this true?

I just got the Rogers N95 too. First thing I did was debrand/upgrade FW. See the tips section here for more info - product code 0561948. Then you should do the unsigned apps hack and start getting apps and themes. See tips. I also just installed Garmin today and it's pretty sweet. Get ur 6gb of data and start surfing too! Unfortunately, my slider's a little wonky, so I may do that next. Have fun. The possibilities are almost endless. This phone is amazing! And the last poster should dl an app called RotateMe.

Even if it does, you can just install RotateMe to get it back
