few basic N95 Q's

[cynic-al]

Just got mine and debranded/upgraded to V20: ()I did search for some of these Q's!)

1. IS it the SDHC card I use, how big can I go?
2. If I use maps does this cost beyond download cost? (if there's a link explaining that would be great)
3. is there a way of launching apps like opera etc more quickly than going through all the menu's?
4. Are the aftermarket batteries worth it (mine lasts well on standby but is eaten when you use the phone for anything)

thanks

1.till now u can buy 8gb...but i think sandisk announced 16gb...technically u can go uptil 32gb i guess..
2.maps cost not sure...i think AGPS costs money...not sure don't use gps much.
3.u can have the opera shortcut on the soft key.
4.hmm battery has always been a problem in n95-1..an original one should be used in any case...but they wont improve phone performance drastically.

What firmware you running? Once I updated to firmware v20. battery life is much better.
As for maps if you pre load the maps than it don't use as much data since it does not download as you go. A-GPS probably don't use that much data.

A-GPS data usage is minimal and BE SURE to download maps from Nokia Maploader and NOT over the air as you can rack up a HUGE bill!
