Tom, 17 Dec 2008You only have to enter the Euro1 product code on the nokia ... moreThanks, I read about the language issues. Didn't see anything about the battery life though. I think i got all bases covered, using English and two spare batteries.
I hate the fact that I can't downgrade... And them showing v31 is a sure bait for eager beavers like me... damn...
Do they suggest anything for those who have upgraded to v31?

Somebody please help! I cannot for the life of me get Nokia Maps to load to my phone. It got all the way through the installation to my phone, but when I open "maps" all I can see is the globe...then when I try to zoom in there are no streets or anything...just a blank white page with the little red dot in the middle. Also, when I go to the application manager it says that Nokia Maps is not installed (?)...I don't really want to use the GPS part, I just want to be able to view the maps...

dRaven, 17 Dec 2008I have this unit since April last year. But I always update... moreYeah, I hear you. When I got mine more than a year ago, it was working fine. Then nearing the anniversary, it started working intermittently, freezing, hanging. Reformat, 3-finger salute, no memory card, offline mode, did everything to narrow it down. Couldn't use the camera anymore, it hangs after one shot.
Until about 3 months ago, i saw that nokia service bulletin, about an overheating memory ic that causes freezing and hanging. I had a tech do it, 2 caps on the board, and it's working fine again...
It was probably with age, that caused it, since it wasn't there when i first got it.
Anyway, great to hear that your unit is not acting up like mine did before. Guess I had a hidden lemon when i got it new.

I checked one of the mobile shop here in UAE and i asked for Finland make but the attendant said all mobiles coming in UAE al made in China they just changed the sticker and put Finland. Is there any set of digits / characters you can click / press or dial that will show the make of the Mobile?

dRaven, 17 Dec 2008Update your softwares!Before, I was always on the latest version and it was still hanging. It is a hardware issue, easily fixed though.
Not sure why it happens on some and not on all, apparently not on your n95... but, nokia has sent out a bulletin as a fix for that specific problem...

google for "N95-RM-159_Hang_Reset_solution"
It's a pdf file. Print it out. Take it to a service center (or a tech, mine is out of warranty and i trusted the tech) and let them do the fix...
My phone is on all the time, no hangs or freeze or anything. Oh, it does turn off.. But only when the battery drains or when I turn it off myself :). But hang or freeze? Never in the months after the fix, not once.
Try it... It's like having a new phone altogether.. Oh, and this is only for n95-1...

I had this phone for about two years or pretty much since it came out. It broke my heart though because it froze completely. If anyone has experienced this problem please post a solution. It happened before n I would leave it off for a couple hours, deep reset it and turn it back on then it would be fine. I've been checking it daily but no progress. anyhow even though this problem happened I still recommend this phone to anyone whose budget is around the n95's price range. Great phone, best of its time and the original i-phone killer.

I purchased a n95 on a 99 plan and was happy in the first week or 2. After that the phone would turn itself off and freeze from time to time. Then the phone would lock me out and say "Start up failed, conact retailer." This happened 3 times in three months. Each time it took 2 to 3 weeks to fix, Then it happen again. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. I have just ordered an E66. I hope this phone is better. Peace.

I bought N95 recently. But I was really disappointed. It is not functioning well. Too slow. It is made in China. I hope someday, Nokia will sell its products to the Philippines that are made in Finland.
