Nokia N95

John over at http://www.telefon-treff.de/ has published pictures of the soon to be released SanDisk 16GB MicroSD cards working in various devices - including the N95.

What is really exciting here is that new Nokia N96 (the N95's replacement) already sports 16Gb of internal memory PLUS a MicroSD card slot... so that's a MASSIVE 32GB of storage in a mobile device!

The new 16GB cards are expected to be released later this year but if you are currently low on storage then you might want to consider the currently available 8GB cards from various places inluding http://www.mobymemory.com/micro-SD.asp

A useful addition to the N95's already impressive range of connectivity options is wireless LAN or WI-FI. This allows you to connect the N95 to your home wireless network or a public wireless hotspot (charges may apply).

I currently use this feature quite a lot with my current XDA Mini S - I can browse my home network and download selected files to my phone, browse the internet or download emails very quickly. The only feature that I could never get to work is the ability to "sync" the phone over the wireless network - The XDA runs on Windows and Microsoft disabled the wireless sync ability due to security reasons.

One good thing that I have just learnt is that you can download the GPS maps via wireless LAN - so instead of downloading large amounts of data via your GPRS / 3G connection you can either download maps at home before you set off on your journey or you can use a hotspot (if available) to get the latest maps for the area you are in / you are going to visit.

We have the low down on the impressive 5 Megapixel camera built into the N95.

What is Python? Well it's an open source programming language and it is now available for Symbian devices (such as the N95). Python allows software developers to create applications that can "hook" into the N95's various systems to produce truely seemless integration with the device.

I believe (and I can be corrected on this) that you will need the latest N95 firmware to take advantage of Python.

Before you can install any Python applications onto your phone you need to install Python itself - this is 2 small .sisx files that you should install to your phone's memory. I have packaged the 2 files together into a single .zip file and added them to our downloads section here http://www.nokia-n95.net/download/python-for-s60/pyton-installation-kit-for-the-n95/download.html 

Once you have downloaded and installed the 2 files you will need to create a folder on your phone called /python - if you hook up your N95 to your PC you will only be able to create this folder on the memory card.

You are now ready to rock with Python!

I am shortly going to start adding freeware Python applications to our downloads section, the first one is "pyRybka" (which I will add shortly) - it's a useless but fun application that has a fish swimming around on your phone's screen - as you tilt the N95 the water stays level - using the built in accelerometer and if you shake the phone the fish dies and floats to the top of the screen - as I said... Useless but very funny.

To install pyRybka you just install the .sis file and then copy the 2 fish image files to your new /python folder.

I have recieved several emails in the last day or so asking about the best place to buy genuine N95 replacement batteries...

eBay is full of "N95 replacement batteries" but most of these are from Asia / the far east and at those prices MUST be copies / fakes. We would never endorse the use of these inferior betteries in the N95 - god knows the genuine Nokia batteries don't last that long so we can only assume these fakes are even worse!
