Nokia N95 Variation Guide for Noobs

NO.

T-Mobile's 3G works on 1700. The N95-8gb that you just bought works on 2100. It will not work. The N95 8gb in the link isn't out yet, and when it is, it will only work with AT&T's 3G on the 1700 frequency.
 
In Canada, the HSDPA of the -3/4 would still be able to pick up a signal from a carrier, depending on which carrier you're roaming onto (or if you're using a prepaid SIM while there). As far as other countries which do not use UMTS 850/1900, you'd only be able to use GSM for voice and data, limiting you to EDGE speeds.

The only country outside of the US and Canada where the -3/4 would work on HSDPA is Australia, if I'm not mistaken.
 
Wow... I am upset :( Thank you JohnnyBruha for sharing this information with me. I need to return this item and take a hit on the restocking fee. Few more questions:

- Do you have any idea when TMobile is going to launch their 3G?

- Why would it only work on AT&T's 1700 and not TMobiles 1700 (when TMobile comes out with it)?

- Is the phone capable of doing video conferencing and other fancy features without being in the 3G network, I mean can I do video conference using wifi/edge?

Thanks for the help!
 
I'll be buying a N95 8GB from a guy on Craigslist. How do I identify whether this is the N95-2 or N95-4? Additionally, how to distinguish between the original N95 and the china knock-offs? I've read the China models have 1GB memory (though it reads 8B on the phone) and don't have GPS and Wi-fi? What would be the easiest and fool-proof way to identify these? In my area, there are lots of scammers, so just trying to stay away from being scammed.

Thanks in advance.
 
So should I buy one on ebay that isn't made in Finland? I'll spend the extra money if I have to but if it doesn't make a difference where the phone is made I would rather save the $200.
 
I have no idea. Soon? A couple months? Who knows.

AT&T does not use 1700. They use 850/1900 for their 3G frequencies.

Video calling is also network dependent. The only way to do video calling is if you have an N95-3 on Rogers in Canada or an N95-1 or -2 on a European network. AT&T does not support video calling in the US.

Sorry you didn't see this thread before you made your purchase.
 
$399 or 379 if you pay by paypal is the cheapest I've seen. Depends on how long you want to wait, lots of iphones and other full featured sexy phones coming out. It's always that way.
 
Buy it from a reputable seller on eBay or otherwise and don't pay attention to the build. Just go with price and call it a day. It doesn't matter.
 
i just spoke to a tmobile rep from pittsburg... they don't expect 3G in 2008 and there's a 50% chance in 2009.... so now i'm going to stick with my crackberry curve, stay low and roll my thumbs till the US gets more advance than some of the third world countries....

fyi... i got an email from the ebay seller and he refunded 100% of the money back to my account without charging me any restocking fee. I would highly recommend anyone to buy from rdtwireless on ebay! I had actually bought two N95-2 8GB's and paid $1,362.96 OTD.

Thanks for all your help at howardforums...
 
$1362.96 OTD?

Does that include shipping? 'cause that's kind of expensive considering my dad went to buy the N95-2 3 days ago from the local cell dealer and it was only $660, cash only (in other words no tax) And the N95-3 was up for $560.
