You get 14 days cancellation rights with any new phone contract so if you're unhappy tell them you wanna cancel and it'll end, job done, you'll just need to pay for any usage, but without a simcard that will be nothing.

If you want to keep it tho, kick up a right fuss and see what freebies you can get out of them instead

The N95 has to be in my opinion the best phone Nokia has ever made. There are still things my 2 year old N95 does easilly and well that by brand new HTC cant do. OK battery life sucked but you het used to it.

Nice solid, well thought out phone and a pretty damn good camera too.

There seem to be both WinMO and Android versions of each HTC platform now.

Despite having made more great phones than Sabine Schmitz has had great laps of the 'Ring Nokia have managed to make some horrendous **** ups in recent years (Full-fat N97 anyone?) - the N95 was a brilliant phone though, mine served me very faithfully for over 2 years before I upgraded to the N97 mini (the N97M feels very much like an evolved N95 to me which is exactly what I wanted) I subsequently gave the N95 to a friend who is continuing to get good use out of it.

For those that have gone the Desire route or are thinking of going that route there is one App that is absolutely essential for battery life.

One issue is the phone has so much processing power that all the apps you open carry on running in the background even when on standby. The end result is your battery drains real quick even when you are not using it as with all Android phones.

So log on to the App Market and search for an App called 'TasKiller' it has a red ic on and is by thibaut Nicolas called TasKiller free.

run the app and go into settings and select Autokill when screen OFF. Just make sure you put the following items on your Ignore list.

-HTC Sense (not sure if required but it appears to be always running so figured wont do any harm leaving in background)

-Touch Input (not sure if required but it appears to be always running so figured wont do any harm leaving in background)

-Music (Essential if using as an MP3 player)

-HTC Weather Wallpaper (otherwise it wont update the weather on your homescreen)

-TasKiller (don't let it kill itself otherwise wont function, only force a kill when you need to reboot for change of settings)

I've also added:-
-BatteryTime Lite (If you use this program set it to Nexus One)
-EarthRot (Excellent animated screensaver with the earth and moon and a shifting shadow according to time of day)

This way everytime the screen switches of all apps will stop running and your battery life more than doubles. Also set your brightness to medium as the Amoled screen canes the battery.

Same applies to Winmo too, whatch what gets left running. The camera app and opera are ******s for going resident and flattening the battery.

On Any mobile turn off wireless services you dont need, Bluetooth and esecially wifi.
