I have a choice between a Viewty or a N95 Black and am having a hard time choosing. I had my heart set on a viewty, as its quite slim but then i realised I could get either for free and saw that the Nokia has wifi and GPS.
Im a bit wary of the viewty becoming a "common" phone like the k800i, which i got in July on its release and now everybody has one which is a bit disappointing.
I'd go with the N95. So long as you don't mind the bulk then you'll appreciate all the additional features like wifi and GPS as you mention.
I wouldn't worry about a phone becoming "common" though - usually means it's good :-)
My flatmate has an n95 and from what ive seen of it its a very good phone, gotta be careful with the screen though, as it's quite weak. I've seen a lot more n95's around London than Viewty's, not sure if that means its better, but from what ive seen its the more popular choice.
I had exactly the same choice about a month ago, and got me one of the 8gb black N95's, havnt regretted it for a second, much more form compared to the viewty tbh.
one thing to mention about the N95 is that it eats battery. Now it does depend alot on what features you use, but I like my phones to run for around 5 days on a single charge and my mate has an N95 which he charges every night which I would hate. I have no idea about battery on viewty but its always one of the first things I look for on a phone.
That's a good point - although the new N95s (the 8GB ones) are supposed to be a bit better at somewhere around 2-3 days usage. Depending on how often you care to charge your mobile this may or may not make a difference.Originally Posted by kinnth
wasnt there a firmware update that helped the battery life?
Ive got the 8gb black N95, and battery life for me is roughly 3-5 days dependant on what features I use, just turn down the strength of the wi-fi conection, (its set stupidly high) and then ul be fine
TBH that's never bothered me as long as it lasts all day no matter how much I use it.
If I know i have to charge it up every night I get into a routine of plugging it in before I go to bed and I'm never caught out with an empty phone.
If it lasted 5 days I know at least occasionally I'd forget to plug it in on day 5 so on day 6 I'd be without a phone.
You can turn off the wifi feature, that saves alot of battery life!
So you'd say that the Motorola Razr was a good phone then?

haha well this is what happens to a company that keeps the same design for 5 years.

persoanlly, who cares if a phone is popular or not, the nokia 32 and 3310 were both seen everywhere and they were awesome for the time.
popular is not necessarily bad.
I did say "usually". Couldn't comment on the Razr, I've never used one.
Only thing I dont like about my N95 is the 2 way slider, I never use the media buttons, and quite frequently when getting it out my pocket it slides the wrong way. Apart from that great phone.
I cancelled my orange contract, useless network. Im on Dolphin 35, average bill comes to £40 and they didnt even try and keep me. Not that im bothered as i got a cracking deal with o2
For me, I can only really have Vodafone, due to the fact that I live in the sticks if I want reliable coverage it needs to be them. Prob also helps that there world headquaters are only about 8 miles away!
