If you need anything else for your N95 give us a shout or look in my blog. I
don't think there are that many apps left I haven't tried!

PS: Listening to DanceFM at the moment using the new Nokia Internet Radio
BETA, another great FREE application from the nokia team.

It means that 3 will be getting the N95 8GB soon, Yipee! I'm due an upgrade
in Jan 08.

I'll probably be debranding it the first day I get it right enough, but FREE
upgrade is a FREE upgrade.

Can anyone with an N95 8gb state whether the build quality has been
improved?

Is the Java app better than just using mobile.msn.com ?

Can you download these apps using the "Download!" feature or do you have
to use a browser and use the application installer? I'm still waiting
for v20 to be available on T-Mobile UK

I don't know whether mine is an 8GB or not, but compared to my SEK800 the
build quality is fine.
The slider is not loose, and it feels well put together.

I've used the generic European firmware, not 3's firmware. That's what's
confused me a bit :-)

I have noidea what the orib=ginal build quality was, but my 8gb is
nice and solid. It still eats batteries, but not so bad as expected.

What apps do you mean? If its the Nokia Internet Radio Beta, just use the
browser and goto http://europe.nokia.com/A4678057

With the 3MSN java app you can hide in the background running and when a
message arrives it requests to open the app.

I got a bit fed up with just MSN, as I have a few friends on Yahoo, so I've
switched to the beta version of LCG Slick, so I can use MSN, Yahoo, AIM and
ICQ.
