Voice Navigation N95

[Aqauaman]

Hi Everyone,

I'm very new to this site and would 1st of all say hi to all in SA

This is so frustrating, the "Voice Navigation Purchase" for the N95
I have visited other "com" sites in order to find out about this topic, but this seems to be a lost case all over the globe

I paid over R7k for my N95-1, with the main reason - GPS navigation. Nou it seems that this function is payable. This is real bullsh*t If I knew this, i would have kept my old Samsung D600 and just purchased a Garmin Nuvi for an additional R2,2k.) The hell with Nokia, if there's no way of getting this service free, I'm going to sell it - any offers How about I give my 1 month old N95 away for R5K cash

Best regards,
A-man

I think it costs R750 to activate the navigation - that's still cheaper than R2200?

Also, if it's the 'old' N95 & not black 8GB one, you might have a hard time selling it.

Ja man

I feel your pain. I think that the Nok@k voice navigation subscription sucks and is really a cynical expoit of the gps potential of this phone. I think that as more and more manufacturers offer voice navigation for free, maybe eventually Nok@k will review their position.

I have an N95. When the bling rubs off, you will really get annoyed at having to charge the phone daily. You will have a car charger. You will have to get used to second-rate voiceless navigation. You will be disappointed. It's not a portable computer. It's not all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes I miss my Motorola that could hold a charge for 4 days. Oh and the camera sucks too. that's if you don't want all your photos to have a blue tinge and wait 2 seconds between when you press the shutter and when you get the photograph. I've never got a good shot of my kids cause they don't pose for 2 seconds........

And the slide rattles. Samsung make good sliders. Nok@k can't.

Oh well,

Charge daily and it's not a bad phone.

Update your firmware to the latest version, might help with some of your issues - or like the other dude, get rid of it cheap.

I think we should all shut up and just let these guys flog these phones to us for cheap if they are unable to use the search feature!!

I'll take it for R1000!
