hey pple,

I bought my N95 like in mid August so thats lke 2 months now and it came with V11 firmware.anyway theres been no problems with it i get around 3 days on it with normal use.2 of my frnds recently bought n95s also n theres came with V12 firmware.Whn i used thier phone i felt that there N95's had a touger build then mine and the slider was very tight compared my loose one.(both of them have the sand colour n i have plum but i dnt think that makes a difference)so does anyone know anyting aboutt nokia makin touger n95s after the V12 firmware came out.n its not just me alot of pple said the same thing when they used my phone n my frnds N95's.My phone came with Nokia One year guarantee/warranty so if i go to nokia claiming that my N95 has a loose slider will they replace it?

Also i recently upgraded my firware ro V12..Does tht void the warranty?(My phone is unlocked is not from any netowrk i bought it form nokia).i forgot how but i set up my WLAN and it was workin fine with no problems wihtout any need of any WEP key etc.i only remember typing the IP and DNS adresses in.When i upgraded the firmware the the WLAN settings were gone n i cant seem to get it to work.Does anyone else have the saml problem after ugrading to V12.

Thanks in advance for your replies.I hope nokia replaces my phone with the tougher build one lke my frnds.

Upgrading the firmware does not void the warranty in any way. i doubt they'll change it for you though.

When I used their phone I felt that their N95s had a tougher build than mine and the slider was very tight compared to my loose one (both of them have the sand colour & I have plum but I don't think that makes a difference) so does anyone know anything about Nokia making tougher N95s after the V12 firmware came out. & its not just me, a lot of people said the same thing when they used my phone & my friends' N95s. My phone came with Nokia 1 year guarantee/warranty so if I go to Nokia claiming that my N95 has a loose slider will they replace it?

Also I recently upgraded my firmware to V12. Does that void the warranty?(My phone is unlocked, not from any network I bought it from Nokia). I forgot how but I set up my WLAN and it was working fine with no problems without any need of any WEP key etc. I only remember typing the IP and DNS addresses in. When I upgraded the firmware the the WLAN settings were gone & I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone else have the same problem after ugrading to V12?

Thanks in advance for your replies. I hope Nokia replaces my phone with the tougher build one like my friends'.

As far as I know there has been no change in the way the N95 is put together between firmware versions or any other time. I do believe that there are two different manufacturing locations, given on the label on the back of the phone under the battery, Finland and China.

Depending on how loose your slider is and how polite you are, they may change it for you. Ask if they will compare it with a new one.

A firmware update will not void your warranty as it is done using software released by Nokia to the public for that purpose.

A firmware upgrade wipes everything on your phone (but not the memory card). This includes all settings like WLAN/Wi-Fi. Some settings, like for messaging and GPRS web browsing, the phone can read back from your Network Operator's SIM card. You'll have to put the WLAN settings back yourself, I'm afraid.
