Also, the N95 just fits into Nokia's own perception of what the mobile world should look like: a gadget that directly connects to Nokia's own services & partners (Yahoo!, Ovi, vox.com, etc.) and thereby acts as a tool to generate online content in a Web 2.0 style.</p> <p>But then, my *needs* are just like David's: a decent cam + internet connectivity.

I remember it was only a few months ago (it WAS a few months ago) how you waxed poetic about the joys of the N95. Now you're kicking her to the curb like any other "smart"-"phone" tramp. What a fickle lover you are. Shame on you! :-) wow K1, you’re telling us the honeymoon is over so soon?!?!?!!

I've been searching for the killer phone with 3G, WiFi, GPS, Hard Drive, 5MP+ Camera etc and the N95 has looked the 'solution', but I can see it still needs some work. I'll be quite honest - my Blackberry Pearl is unbeatable at the moment, especially if you're an Email addict/whore like me. I've tried a few other phones this month because I thought the Blackberry could be beat but I turned around and took them back. That's why they call them crackberry - the software is solid, and you have to appreciate their reliability.

I am waiting to get one, but given my prior experiences with getting newly launched m-phones, I've decided to wait until they've launched an improved version.
