I’ve had the N95 for a while now. Do I still love it? Yes….although I might be moving towards really like rather than love.

I still find the speed of entering text annoying – although I’m getting faster and the blister on my thumb is recovering. The battery life does not really bother me yet as I’m generally not far from the charger. The charger itself is nice and small and just works. Motorola had a really bad connector that often meant the connection was unstable. When you’re trying to sleep in a hotel room after working for 16 hours the last thing you want is the phone to keep beeping at random times during the night.

Bit by bit I find the software I’m using has settled down:

- I still use the internal mail program. I’m happy enough with it but I will be looking for a replacement at some stage. I’d like the text to be smaller and fit more onscreen.

- Gmail – I use gmail but it does not show graphics – which I do need. I’ll be on the lookout for an alternative soon.

- Syncing to my PC – It just works. What a relief. I was so fed up with the Motorola – especially after I moved to Vista and they seemed to no longer be interested in me – not what I want after getting an expensive phone.

- Media Player – I’ve actually become a big fan of podcasts. There are a lot of useful sites providing info and it’s nice to be able to use the time when I’m stuck somewhere.

There are more but again I’ve used up my time……
