Talk:Nokia N95

message: You can find in the same site of Nokia that it's mention: Source http://forum.nokia.com/devices/N95
 Dual CPU
 CPU Type: ARM 12
 CPU Clock Rate: 342 MHz
 3D Graphics HW Accelerator
Expanding the information you can find that the real cpu is not a ARM1 but a ARM11 based (OMAP2420 more a "suite" rather a single cpu). Source : http://www.imgtec.com/
Anyways, the Dual CPU is not a 2x432mhz but a 332mhz cpu - 220mhz DSP cpu.
For some strange reasons to put the specifications of CPU about cellphone are usually removed, may be because this information can be confidential (in fact it is not) or another kind of reasons.
Another note that shit phone (go away fanboys) is a 6xx mhz but in a different kind of architecture (also based in ARM11) so it's not trivial to say that Iphone is more fast without a decent benchmark but Apple currently dissalow it so for a while nobody can determine which cellphone is the more faster.

replies: text: Phone specs like this are usually removed because they're added without references. Until recently Nokia did not publish this information at all, which meant that there were no reliable sources for it. It's fine to add this information in, just make sure to add a reference for it when you add it. Wibbble 10:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Being a anti-global supporter of national industry I oppose CHines manufactured Western products. Does anyone know here this phone is manufactured? Thanks! Koalorka 23:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the talk page for the article, and not the place to ask questions about this phone. Try asking on a forum or somewhere like Nokia's own discussion boards. As an aside, given that Nokia is a multi-national company, you might need to specify which 'nation' you want to support the industry in. Ultimately, unless you're Finnish buying Nokia doesn't have much jingoist value. Wibbble 23:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

text: As far as I'm aware, Nokias bought within Europe are manufactured in Finland and say 'Made in Finland' on the box. Nokia devices bought outside the EU usually say 'Made by Nokia' and, as far as I'm aware, are made in Asia. I don't have any references but I'm sure I heard this somewhere. If anyone wants to add this, find a reference first. 91.105.206.139 (talk) 00:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: When I think of N95, I think of a NIOSH certification level for respiratory protection (masks). Therefore, I wonder if it's appropriate to have a redirect that goes to this page.

replies: text: If there's no article, then there's nothing else to redirect to. It's perfectly possible to turn "N95" into a disambiguation page with a link to Nokia N95 and a note about the respiratory protection masks/a link to an appropriate article. Wibbble 00:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: redirect appropriate?

message: I've edited the article to just say 'microSD card' and not list any capacity. It's not wikipedia's place to inform buyers or anything like that - since this is an issue under debate, I think it's best to just avoid it entirely in the encyclopedia. People looking for other users' experience with the N95 can go to forums, discussion boards, and review sites. Wibbble 23:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Compromise 

message: There was debate before the release as to whether FOTA would be included as a feature. In the specs list it still says "May include FOTA". So now that the phone is out, can anyone confirm whether or not this feature is actually included??? 11 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Good work on the edit, although some of it might need to be tweaked a little to be a little bit more NPOV. It's a bit gushing/marketing-speak. Also, keep in mind that wikipedia isn't the place to be asking/answering questions on the phone itself - you might want to try hanging out on the Nokia discussion boards if you're interested in doing that. Wibbble 21:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I mean any questions in regards to the article that can be answered due to having the subject of the article, the phone. As for marketing speak, I tried my best to simply describe the product. Feel free to reedit the parts you feel violate NPOV.--Wiki Fanatic | Talk 07:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The odd thing with wikipedia is that having the handset doesn't actually make  you better placed to edit the article  than anyone else, since you should only be putting on material which can be verified from external sources. A good example of this is the CPU used in Nokia handsets. Nokia doesn't publish this information anywhere for almost all handsets, but it c an easily be got from most S60 handsets by running a particular third-party application. However, that's original research, and so can't be included. I only mentioned the forum thing because it's really common for people to misunderstand what talk pages are about and ask for help here on using their phone - or worse, edit that sort of information into the article itself.

text: Citing information is always the way to go on Wikipedia. Don't be afraid to edit. Be bold and go ahead and add what you feel needs to be added. Worst come to worst, it can be undone (though this is no excuse for vandalism).--Wiki Fanatic | Talk 07:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article update 

message: Ok, I'm gonna be bold here and improve the whole article. If I'm not mistaken, wikipedia articles should include cites to reliable sources, not to some blogs or known-for-no one tech sites (there are quite a lot more reliable sources) to call it "iPhone killer". These products are too different to be killers of one another. Next, almost all mentioned features (except for GPS and 5Mp camera) comes from software platform (s60 v3 fp1 s60 platform) and not a unique or important features (store pictures and video in the internet services? is there any smartphone unable to do this?) If you wanna describe those features, start article s60 3rd edition fp1. 
Too many typos, by the way...  Is there any need to place Pricing here? Will it be interesting for somebody in 2009 for example? Or someone gonna update it now-and-again? Dreambringer 12:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: No serious page doing a balanced presentation of the N95 would be complete without a comment about the battery life.  I got my N95 two days ago, charged it for 24 hours, and started using it.  After 6 hours it was out of battery.
My 6 hours of battery life time is far away from what Nokia promises.  
I will have to start researching the process; I believe gersbo.dk/2007/05/nine-tweaks-that-will-improve-nokia-n95-battery-life-by-328.html is a good guide for that.
: Keep in mind that your experiences are not appropriate for inclusion in the article, as that would be original research - you'd need to find a reliable source which could show that poor battery life was a common concern. Note that blogs don't count as reliable sources for wikipedia. Wibbble 21:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Since the batter issue is not a aislated trouble then the sums of all reviews must be considered like valid. Otherwise the only appropiate proof of failure must came from Nokia and this will never happens. So in other words common sense must prevail and wiki rules are too flexible to allow it. --Magallanes 00:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The phone (or should that be user) has a habit to keep applications running in background (as identified by a vista style circle over their icon).   This significantly kills battery life.  You can turn 3-4 days battery life into 6 hours just by leaving it running.   I dont think that people using the phone incorrectly by forgetting to turn tasks off when they stop using them should be blamed on the phone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.35.18 (talk) 01:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: You bet comments on the very poor battery life should be included! In fact, I wrote quite a lengthy comment on that a few months ago, but it was repeatedly deleted for various bogus reasons. Had that comment been left in place (and perhaps a note added to the main article), users like you would never have those problems, because you would never buy the phone in the first place. Seems to me that some hardcore fans or Nokia employees are haunting these discussion boards, or the admins are rather fascinated about certain flashy (yet useless) capabilities, instead of being concerned with serious issues this device has. 12.28.109.82 00:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Referencing 

message: I've removed the section about the Music Edition of the N95 for a number of reasons:
:1) it hasn't been officailly announced by Nokia yet;
:2) from 1) we therefore have no officail list of specs and anything that would be included in the article is not from reliable sources, would be unreferenced, and would be OR.
:3) it is not that notable yet to be included - if the specs differ markedly from the original then it would deserve a section to itself - otherwise a sentence or two in the intro to the article or perhaps near the Spec sheet would suffice.
Let's hold off and not jump the gun on this one - of the speculation I've read (and it is at this point ONLY speculation) the closest release date anywhere will be the end of Q4 2007 - at least 4 months away. I'm sure we'll hear something reliable from Nokia in the mean time. Cheers, ABVS1936 05:18, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Unlike most mobile phones (Motorola, SonyEricsson, BlackBerry, and others) that feature a mini-USB connector, N95 do not charge its battery with the USB connector. It requires the user to carry a separate power supply. This is a drawback that should be advertised.
Xor74 09:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing should be "advertised" on wikipedia. Does this fact really need to be included in the article? Nokia never claimed that the phone could be charged via USB, nor do you have any references to point to this fact, and hence you are adding OR. therefore, it should not be included and I am thus removing it. Cheers, ABVS1936 05:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, excuse my poor choice of words. If you own a mobile device with mini usb nowadays you assume it can be used to charge the device. Not so with Nokia. I believe worthy of noting as it is noted in almost every serious review of the phone. I've also added reference to N95 review in My-Sign.com. Xor74 12:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, you choose your words badly: nothing should be "assumed", especially on WP - like I said before, nowhere has Nokia claimed that the USB charges the battery (for comparison, I own this phone and did not assume it could be charged via USB - likewise with my other Nokia phones). However, in order to stay out of an edit war, i.e. a 3RR, I wont revert it again, but I'd like other opinions on the matter - anyone care to comment? Also, the ref you added I might point out is only a review of the phone, not from the manufacturer - something from the manufacturer would be a better source for a ref, perhaps a spec sheet or some such. Cheers, ABVS1936 05:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

text: As an owner of an N95, I believe that it is important to mention the fact that the usb-connector does not charge the battery, I know I had expected it to do so and was disappointed to discover otherwize. Jobnikon 12:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: WIkipedia isn't a consumer guide, and if we're going to list all the things that every product with an article doesn't do or have, all the articles would get very long. I'm going to remove this while doing some other clean-up of the article. Before adding this sort of thing, please remember that wikipedia isn't a review site, or supposed to tell you if a phone is 'good'. There's other sites that are for that, and you should read reviews there rather than trying to make wikipedia into something it's not. (Oh, and adding a reference doesn't make it suitable for inclusion, unless you want to show that charging over USB was a widely expected feature and many reviewers noted it for not existing - which is unlikely given that the only Nokia phones to charge natively from USB are micro-USB, and not mini-USB.) Wibbble 19:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia is an Encyclopaedia and last time I checked that means that you have to have all the available information on everything or singular things.
Forget assumptions, advertising or arguing terms..
You are right the articles would get long if it included everything, however instead of arguing about mini-USB or micro-USB how about conceding that this is a truly valid nugget of information. IF you use this as a business phone then it is likely you will have information on it instead of a USB key, however as a business use phone it will also get drained quickly of power... thus it is equally valid information that IN USE the phone will need a USB cable and power pack. This information is just as valid as the type of GPS chipset or the size of the battery pack as it is an inherent ability of the phone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclical (talk • contribs) 01:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

This wouldn't be much of an issue if it wasn't for the fact that I haven't found any sites stating otherwise besides this article.
Maybe there's actually a official version that gets confused with the clone or the article is right and the so called "clone" is actually official but people around the Internet just didn't bothered to make some research before ranting about how their "fake" Chinese N95 doesn't have Wi-fi.
