k850 or n95

[dazza123]

mobile phone due to run out in next 3weeks, i know as done b4 when i go to cancel they offer me and phone of choice with decent contract.

Got n73 at mo, looking at either n95 now for free or hang on to k850? Problem is im v v impacient and prob wont be free.

has anyone got the n95? How is it overall? Camera, battery and GPS i would like to know best about please.....

N95 is simliar to the phone you have with extra features.

The camera is average, and the GPS is largely useless.

K850 FTW..

 

[Scutch]

Yes. I'm just waiting for the k850i to be released.

 

[dazza123]

take it k850i hasnt got gps? i have tomtom software on my n73 but no gps signal, would i be able to use that on sony? I was thinking tho the k850 is very similar to what i have with a 5mp camera

 

[Tom]

No its techincally inferior.

But its a better phone.

Went from K800i to N95.... and despite all the extra features, I'd have my old SE back in a heartbeat.

SE FTW everytime. My N95 is slower than Jenson Button.

 

[Andy]

I just don't like the button config on the K850i.

Both are very capable phones though.

So they both take rather crap images viewed at 100% but which one is going to give you clearest images of your drunk mates in a club?

 

[andywright182]

SE phones are crap. Poor software, constant problems and the k800i is the worst phone I have ever owned.

Ive gone back to Nokia and very happy with my choice

 

[Lagerlout]

Each to their own.

It's the little things with Nokias that really rack me off. Like dealling with bluetooth files as messages. What the f**k's that all about?

With SE, not only do you see a file transfer progress bar, but it automatically saves it to the right place.

Like I said, it's all in the details. And the 5mp camera is distinctly average. Video recording is first class for a phone though.

 

[Tom]

That review is flawed, if you read it all but the K850 comes out on top if you remove the video scores.

I know what you mean about file transfer, just like the stupid vcard system.
With se you can send the phone book as one file, something nokias cannot do.

N95 camera is excellent.. very pleased with it. GPS is great if your out and about and need directions, the new Nokia maps is much better than the standard maps and I found the GPS locked faster.

The N95 without the latest firmware is sluggish and buggy but the latest firmware seems to solve all those problems. Only issue is battery life but I can live with charging it every night.. other might not..

 

[CJ]

As said, N95 has alot more features but K850 has a (slightly) better camera and is easier to use.
