Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / July 2007Nokia N95 on Orange in UK
Is the Nokia N95 going to be available on Orange in the Uk? Anyone any idea of a release date? Many thanks! r.patre@gmail.com declared for all the world to hear... > Is the Nokia N95 going to be available on Orange in the Uk? Anyone any > idea of a release date? Not going to be released.

There are currently no N-series Nokias shown in the "coming soon" bit. And a damned good thing too. They are more trouble than they are worth (from a retailer point of view). SignatureRegards Jon I've not contacted Orange because Orange Customer Services always seems to be very unreliable with information about forthcoming phones. I've always found dealers to be far more knowledgeable. Please explain why you think the N series are more trouble than they are worth. My current dilemma is whether to get the Sony Ericsson P990i or wait for the Nokia N95. I'm on Orange and really don't want to change networks. My last 3 phones were Sony Ericsson and I've always had Nokia before that. The N95 tempted me back to Nokia from the pre-release reviews I've read. Cheers! r.patre@gmail.com declared for all the world to hear... > Please explain why you think the N series are more trouble than they > are worth. Software problems. Out of every 10 we sell I reckon we get problems with 3 or 4 of them. That's way too high. > My current dilemma is whether to get the Sony Ericsson P990i > or wait for the Nokia N95. You'll be waiting a long time as Orange have no plans to do it.

I've yet to use one for more than 5 minutes but it seems OK. We've only had one back (the very first one we sold). I had a P800 and a P900 and I would take the 990 over a symbian Nokia any day of the week.

Is this just N series phones, or any Nokia Series 60/symbian handset, in which case does Orange's seemingly current standing also cover E series phones and could it affect their decision to carry the 6290 when it is released early next year. I feel the need to ask, as i'm an Orange customer who does prefer the Symbian/series 60 Nokia handsets (had a 6630, now N70), and will be sorely disappointed if Orange cease to offer future models as and when they are relased by Nokia. spam@007jbond.freeserve.co.uk declared for all the world to hear... > Is this just N series phones, or any Nokia Series 60/symbian handset, I was commenting specifically on the N95. As for the N-series in general I imagine they will be carrying some of them in the future although I do not know. > in which case does Orange's seemingly current standing also cover E > series phones and could it affect their decision to carry the 6290 > when it is released early next year. Again, I don't get to see that far ahead.

OK thanks for that.... I guess the N95 was doomed given the experiences of the spiritual predecessor the N80. It'll be interesting to see if some independents do offer the N95 on Orange though... as I recall, the 3250 was offered on Orange by carphone warehouse, although I've no idea if that was specially branded stock or the same generic handsets they were using for O2/Voda etc. spam@007jbond.freeserve.co.uk declared for all the world to hear... > It'll be interesting to see if some independents do offer the N95 on > Orange though... as I recall, the 3250 was offered on Orange by > carphone warehouse, although I've no idea if that was specially > branded stock or the same generic handsets they were using for O2/Voda > etc. Fir it be offered it still has to be "approved" by Orange. I doubt the N95 will ever attain that status. It's not even in the "in review" section on the intranet which means they're not even looking at it. SignatureRegards Jon Apparently, www.e2save.co.uk (CPW's online network) stock phones from popular manufacturers so you can usually get phones the networks don't provide directly or through their main retailers, a major plus with this is they're also unlocked to all networks when you receive them because they're from generic stock. Hi, The Nokia N95 is now available on Orange! see: 'Nokia N95 on Orange' (http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/Nokia/N95/Orange.html) Hope this helps, BB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.wirelessforums.org/showthread.php?t=11852 http://www.wirelessforums.org > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Hope this helps, Old news, its been on orange for the past 2 months. http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/show/handset/nokia_n95/detail/pay_monthly > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > View this thread: http://www.wirelessforums.org/showthread.php?t=11852 > http://www.wirelessforums.org I'll inform the Brother-in-law, he's on his 3rd N95 from Orange and waiting to replace that one cos its faulty.

Just small features that don't stop you from enjoying the beauty of the N95? God and I moan my N73 is slow opening the menu folders sometimes!

(I'm sure Orange would prefer to call the problems FEATURES > rather than faults) I've sold about 30 and had one back. That's not a bad failure rate for a new N-series Nokia. SignatureRegards Jon > But that's the thing, they're ALL faulty on orange, they begger up the > software, changing the N95 to another with same software wont help > that. (I'm sure Orange would prefer to call the problems FEATURES > rather than faults) Well put the generic Nokia software on. I've had an N95 from Orange for about a month now and it was fine with 11.0.026 and is even better with 12.0.013 You just need to change the product code of the phone to get the Nokia Software updater to put the right firmware on. ** Beware: you may turn your phone into a brick if you get this wrong ** # Visit http://thenokiablog.com/2006/11/28/how-to-update-original-nokia-n73-firmware-to- music-edition/ and follow the instructions at the bottom, however since the instructions are for a different phone you need to enter a different model number. For the N95 plum, Euro version the code is 0534841. # Plug in the usb and power to your phone and follow the steps to re-write the model number # Run the nokia firmware update utility, sit back, watch the screen and let noone touch your laptop, your phone or your cables. # Once you're totally sure it's finished, you now have a nokia firmware handset with normal abilities. # Warning - if you are on Orange UK, you need to ring Orange and get them to reset your voicemail and send a SIM update otherwise you will no longer get voicemail notifications after doing this.

My question is - why buy a n N95 from a provider that disables some of the features you are paying a premium for? I wouldn't buy from Orange in protest to the practice.

Thank you for your mail I can confirm that the Nokia N95 is not currently under review by Orange and I have been unable to ascertain whether it will be released in the future. I am sorry that I cannot assist on this occasion. Kind regards Jackie Orange Customer Services |
