Nokia N95 VS TyTn

[taguapire]

Hi,

I thinking about change my TyTN for Nokia N95. Some one knows where I can find a good comparison review between TyTN and Nokia N95?

Worth change my TyTN by a N95?

Can some body post his/her thoughts about this change.

tytn at the moment but urged for a vga phone like toshiba 900 (or was it g900)

I concur. I have both and i think that they are both awesome phones in their own environment. You just cannot compare the 2 with each other. Its like comparing a truck to a car. They each have their plus. I love the size of the N95 and the camera is awesome. especially after the firmware update. And inorder to save battery i turn off the dual mode band and just keep it on gsm. It probably gets you about 2 extra days of battery life. But i also love my 8525. so much stuff i can do with it. So its just up to you and what you like and what your looking to do with it my friend. Good luck. :)

How much stable is N95? There is any stability issue on Symbian OS used in this phone? What about usability and applications compared with WM6?

This 5 MPX camera can be compared with real consumer cameras @ 5 MPX or it is average camera if you compare it with Dedicated 5 MPX camera?

A friend of mine has the N95 and is sending it back, it loses signal, the gps doesnt work, battery life is appalling, sometimes people cant hear him. He is now getting a tytn after using mine.

In this day and age I simply don't see myself entering my emails using the number pad.

When will Nokia enter the new millenium and add a frikkin touchscreen?

[agovinoveritas]

Thank God his is not HoFo. You would have had all the crazy Nokia and HTC fanboys at eachothers throats.

It really comes down to what your expectations are out of the gadget. Replying emails and the like, work related things. TyTN all the way due to the keyboard. Remember, the N95 is being sold as a media heavy phone, not business. Check the specs.

GPS is not the best but is far from the worst and the battery is anemic. However Hermes doesn't even have GPS so there is a point there. But the battery, is an issue, especially for such a hardware heavy phone. You will notice a lot of people say they can extend the battery life by cutting down usage, well, ironically the phone was made to be used. That is something Nokia has yet to wise up, since it goes for size over function. Just like the N80. Putting anything under 1000mAh on phones like this is just irresponsible.

Anyway, see what you need and then simply match it. Don't get me wrong the N95 is a impressive phone but with a few flaws, just like TyTN. Find which one fits best.

[deviusdragger]

Exactly, everyone has their own flavors. I love both my phones and have had no problems at all with them. Maybe cause i take real good care of them too. The camera on the N95 is comparable to some 5mpx cameras. Clear enough to print. MY battery on the n95 last about 3 days with heavy texting and moderate phone calls placed. I love the symella program that you can get on symbian phones. kind of like wintorrent. Download tons of songs thru the wifi or edge. The lack of 3g for the us is one thing that really kind of bummed me out on this phone. But its all good, And good luck with the purchase.

[taguapire]

I see...

Thanks for your replies. I just wanted N95 for GPS and Camera, but both are not top of line in multimedia phones or dedicated hardware.

I guess that I will kept my TyTN.

Regards and thank you very much,

I've got a hermes and one of the gyus i work with has got an N95.

One of them is a phone with a few computer functions on it and the other is a computer with a few phone functions. Which you want depends on how you will use the phone.

Having had a good play with his N95, I can confirm it is a stunningly good phone - the camera is better than my Sony DSC-P12 and the screen is a joy to behold.

For me though, I can't get over that it's not touch screen - makes it too awkward to use properly.

I'd have one as a second phone and it would give me problems whenever I leave the house while I made my mind up which one to take but...the question is, would I swap my Vario II for it?

Not a chance :)

You are comparing two different kind of devices. TyTn using windows wheather Nokia using Symbian. What you wanted to do with your mobile on the go. It depends on the functions it is offering and your needs. About 5MP camera well it will take the picture that big you can make it wallpaper in your kitchen. I am using camera phones since 3 years now still have 2MP camera phone. But I never use it for photography. Man you can't use it as professional camera. Anyhow I am not professional but whenever I take pictures I use digital camera other than my phone device.

I agree with Lordsmiff.

The Nokia is a phone trying to grow up to become a computer
The Tytn is a computer trying to be a phone - but hey, its doing a better job at it !!

Depends what one wants ! It's your choice !

for me ,cant do without a touch screen.

also read reviews on the camera, n95 vs sony ericsion 3.2Mp cybershot, thge 3.2 beat the 5.0 of the nokia

Hi,

I first had the tytn and I was curious about a symbian cellphone, so I sold my tytn and bought a N95.

I'm a little bit disappointed of symbian. The menu is really slow and it crashes once a day. In general, if you use the phone a little bit you can charge it every day. If you don't use it that much you have to charge it every 2-3 days.

Another problem is the missing touchscreen because it is just comfortable to scroll or tab on the screen, select more than one item, ...

The quallity of the n95 is also not the best, the zero-key was scrooping and you can hear the display while calling someone (but this is not that annoying).
But the camera is really nice, it is not as good as a digital camera but still very good.

So, at the moment I am buying the tytn again and I selling the n95.

YUCK!!! :(

I was thinking of getting the N95 BEFORE I got the X01HT and now I think
back to the N95 and WHAT WAS I EVEN THINKING... buying the N95 that is.

N95 PROS:

5MP camera with Carl Ziess Lens
Built in GPS
Very nice Video playback
built in stereo speakers

N95 CONS:

No qwerty KB
Symbian OS (yucky)
Smaller screen
kind of fugly (feels cheap in your hand)

[mean-machine]

I've got both of them. I'm working as a driver so I'm using navi soft a lot i.e. TomTom. On TyTn it's much smoother, and one more thing N95 has a built-in gps receiver, but it works only with preinstalled soft and is certainly slower in getting a fix than bt sirfstarIII receiver. If you want to use TT you need to buy a BT GPS anyway. For me personally N95 is a better choice for people who are looking for a phone, but from time to time also want to google, check something on the net and stuff like that. Hermes is much more complex thing.

A driver? For Torchwood?!? :D

I'm surprised that you would need another GPS unit since the N95 has one.
The N95 has been listed in other reviews as well at being a bit sluggish with
acquiring GPS locks so I'm not surprised when you mention it. I am surprised
that the TyTN/Hermes is smoother at running GPS software though.
