Nokia N95 Variation Guide for Noobs

[computergeek541]

Anyone else notice a typo on some of the N95-3 boxes?

N95-3_NOKNA_BN
"For use on GSM85/9/18/19 UMTS 1900 networks."

What about the 850MHz UMTS? Oh well, I guess Nokia decided to pull an HTC Touch (people with the so-called tri-band HTC devices will understand this joke).

All of them have wifi. They're either made by Nokia (Asian) or it's made in Finland (European).

Okay, this leads to my stupid question of the day. I've noticed that some ebay sellers go out of their way to say things like, "This is the China version. It doesn't have WIFI or GPS." So the question: do these sellers just not know what they're selling?

In fact, it was reading these auction descriptions that made me read this thread in the first place.

Not that I don't believe you, I'm just confused.

As danyai pointed out...

you left out , non wifi models

RM-245 = NOKIA N95-5 n95 original
RM-321 = NOKIA N95-6 n95 8gb

Just make sure it doesn't have a touch screen because they're clearly fake. And don't buy from eBay unless it's a reputable seller such as x1387 or phonesource-usa.

The so-called "China version" is a ripoff, made by "NOKlA" (the second last letter is a lowercase "L", not an uppercase "I": "Nokla"). It has a touch-screen, a 2MP camera (not 5), no GPS, no WIFI, and larger dimensions. Of course, being what it is, it is a popular "for sale" item on eBay.

Samething with the "CECT 168" - also branded as "iPhone". It runs Windows Mobile, for starters.

Then there is the Nintendo Wü (note that the "ü" is drawn with a square font, so it looks kindof like two lowercase "i"s...).

Of course, these are all made in China, so beware of lead content...

These new posts from confused S60 first-timers are getting really redundant, so I think it's time for a quick reference guide for people to read before mashing that New Thread button. Hopefully, this will clear up a lot of the confusion from people having a hard time finding information about these three phones.

Bear in mind, all variations of the N95 have a standard set of features that do not change from model to model (5mp camera, GPS, WLAN, etc.,). This chart is not all inclusive to every feature of each variation, but only to those features that separate them from one another.

Nokia N95-2 (8gb)

• Quadband GSM, 3G 2100 for Europe

I take no credit whatsoever for any of the photos posted. All of them were from searches through Flickr, Yahoo images, Google images, eBay seller x1387, and Mobile City Online.

Feel free to add any information to this page if I've forgotten anything. I'm sure it will have to be updated when the rumored 8gb NAM version comes out, if it does. Hope this helps.

NOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for crawling out of your cave to add that, sir-gee. Like your previous HoFo handle, your posts are useless.

I may be buying N95-3 on Craigslist. What do I look for to confirm that it is a real N95-3? Is there a list of SN's available somewhere? Thank you

Heck of a post to the OP. Lots of info that I'm glad I read up on

[Topsales]

Thanks Jonny for the info. I just pre-ordered the N95 8gb from J&R for $649 shipped. I was assured by Jason that it was the NAM version. I hope is ships soon.

[darth_malus]

so is what i read true about the n95 in general that it has the dual radio that lets you talk and surf the net on 2g. i know it can do it on 3g .

[stevenkha]

I found a woman selling a N95 8gb for $450. How do I tell if it is a NAM version or not and also how to tell if it is a fake. I am sure a fake you will be able to tell by holding it and looking at it up front but is there anything is particular that I need to look for?

"For use on GSM85/9/18/19 UMTS 1900 networks."

It's not a typo.. I'm pretty sure it's deliberate

NOK - Nokia
NA - N. America

Hence, NOKNA

Unless something changed today, it couldn't be NAM because the 8 GB NAM isn't shipping as of yet

DTM (dual transfer module) has been available on most newer S60 devices since the N73, but it's network dependent. Most networks don't support it because it basically sets up two lines of connection under one line of service.
