Leading up to the launch of the iPhone here in the UK, the BBC News ran a spoof video similar to “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads by Apple comparing the iPhone to the N95. I tried to get hold of a copy of this at the time but the BBC media player doesnt [...]

Without any doubt the original N95 is certainly a feature-rich handset and surely packs a punch compared to other handsets on the market. As feature rich as it is, it has been plagued with problems which maybe the general public aren’t as tolerant too as a gadget-geek like myself is. I have been [...]
