It’s dark, I’ve been kicked out of the common area (glowng blobl in the bottom left) because it shuts at minight. It’s only twenty-five to in eastern standard time, damn it.
Yeah, I’m out here until the battery in my laptop dies, at which point I’m going to probably go to bed.
I’m up at 7 tomorrow (6 AM AEST) to pick up a rental (possible haggle over the no-show fee since I clearly did show up but they’d left early), and drive to Bermagui.
Dead on Arrival – Actually just unconscious

My new N95 straight from Vodafone, initially I thought it just had a long boot time, but the Nokia logo never came off the screen apart from switching to the Vodafone symbol for a brief period when you don’t touch it.
It won’t even switch off without removing the battery and my laptop doesn’t recognise anything has been plugged in when I connect the USB cable.
My first non Orange phone, not a great experience.
Having experienced the problems of a Sony Ericcson P990 I know there can be significant problems with high end phones. But it just feels as if there isn’t enough quality assurance going on.

Hmm. I’ve been reading a few horror stories about the N95 – battery life seems to be a HUGE issue, and what you are describing is quite familiar. When I called Vodafone to upgrade a few weeks ago the person I spoke to practically told me not to bother with it…
You getting it replaced?
It came to life a couple of times, long enough to upgrade the firmware (a major revision number).
I think its shocking that Vodafone are putting out the phone with a version of the firmware with obvious problems.
Battery life is pretty poor, I think the wifi is a big drain on battery.
The reliability of the wifi is also pretty poor,
It appears to have gone into a coma once again
Its actually seems quite stable when it boots up.
The video center application is very smart, there is a service from YouTube and Reuters designed for it and you can add other RSS feeds with video enclosures.
The reuters news items work very well on it and its an excellent way of watching the news, I hope the BBC are considering doing shorter video download items like this.
The inbuilt mapping application works ok and is integrated with the GPS reciever, but the downloadable Google maps application works a lot better for my needs.
The browser works quite nicely, and the inbuilt loud speaker is quite powerful.
Getting an exchange done next week.
Its working again, I guess I should have proceeded with caution like any new model and waited the 3 months or so for them to sort out the major bugs.
Not the only person to suffer from it/>
