even i know some guy.. he sold me my present phone. lets see how much he gives me the n95 for.

[shivmarwaha]

thanks guys for all the inputs. i feel that it is overpriced. 7MP camera costs 10k, so camera is not the real USP. maybe GPS, but do we have the maps for Indian cities and country side???

[CaliAtenza]

yeah...i think the N95 is a little too much...the N73 that i have...does it almost all..except the GPS and the 5 mp camera.

This price is only 2K less than what has been quoted in the posts above.. Also is he offering the warranty also with this.. A phone like this with so many features, it is necessary to have a warranty.. Just in case..

You can get cameras for cheaper rates... Can you make a call with your 7mp camera and will it seriously help you out if you are lost??
Seriously speaking i am not looking at buying this phone because of he camera.. its just an added advantage.

Yeah, you can take pics of where all you've been, and put them together. And I once tried the other bit, got to see how the inside of my ear looked.

Yeah, that's a hard lesson I had to learn first hand. I bought N73 on launch week for 25K from a Nokia Priority dealer and 5 months later that same dealer offers me 9K for it and only upon exchange. I told him I'd rather bury it than exchange for one more purchase from him. Then another dealer offered 12K without exchange, so I got rid of it, it was way too bulky for me. In 5 months, Nokia had willingly devalued N73 by bringing out N73Me with 2GB ram and dropping the N73 price to 19K.

Always wait 6 months before buying any Hot Nokia Phone.

[normally_crazy]

Went to mall and Nokia had a stall showing the N95. Went there asked for a demo.

SG (salesgirl) - Sir fone has 5 mp camera blah blah blah blah
Me - Stop. Tell me is this phone wifi enabled.
SG - Yes
Me - 3G ?
SG - Yes
Me - Edge ?
SG - uh umm edge...yes
Me- Sure
SG - Yes
Me - Sure 100 % ?
SG- Wait ..calls another guy.
Me - Show me the GPS
SB(sales boy) - Yes sir

And he explains something like there are inbuilt maps and you can use to pinpoint a location and helps in driving directions. but now we are not connected to any satellite as we are inside the mall
Me - accha then if we sit in the car and its got a roof , can we connect to satellite ?
SB - what ?? uh ummm yes
Me- but you said we are covered and can't connect to satellite, so if I am travelling by car do I need to get down and stand on the road so that I connect to the satellite ?
SB - laughs sheepishly.
Me - show me D N Road in the GPS map thats inbuilt
SB tries hard but no luck - maps not updated.
Me - D N Road is the main road in Fort , how can that not be included in the map ? anyways try L B S Road.
SB - tries , no luck - maybe spelling mistake.
Me - Thank you , I am taking a brochure for the phone if you don't mind.

And I left.
