    Hi All,

    Anyone know much about the N95 HSDPA module? I'm interested to know what the limitations of it are. I've known early HSDPA capable devices to be limited to 1.8Mbps. How does the N95 fair? Will it handle O2's 3.6Mbps and the expected (hopeful) 7.2Mbps towards the end of the year?

    Also, for those that already have N95's, how does the email functionality compare to Blackberry devices?

    Cheers.....

    The N95 handles 3.6 Mbps. It may (unconfirmed) handle 7.2 Mbps through a firmware update, but will never support HSUPA.

    Don't have exchange anyways so looking for something that'll do email (POP) well on the road, and has a few other features.

    Like the look of the Tosh G900, but might be a bit too big in the pocket, and doesn't seem to allow VOIP over HSDPA. Samsung i600 don't look too bad either.

    For POP and IMAP, there's a 3rd party mail client application called profimail for Symbian which is pretty good. About 20 quid.

    With autostart and autoupdate and limited antispam functionality enabled you can have it buzzing at you every few minutes.

    Colleague has it on his n95. I've had no problems with it on the 6600.
    Unregistered it'll let you try it out with about 3MB of mail transfers.

    There are alternative software solutions for push mail. I find that the predictive text is perfect for email too.
    I make do with forwarding my mail to meteor sms that lets of know when I have something.

    I use a Nokia E60 at the moment, using the built-in mail client and it works absolutely fine! If your provider supports IMAP (and the IDLE command), it can even do (semi-)push email. That way it also uses less data because it doesn't have to reload your mailbox every time. It just keeps the connection open and any changes, such as new mail, appear instantly on your phone. Even if you delete a mail through your webmail or something you see it disappear from the phone right away, very cool.

    So, you may not need any other software if you're getting a Nokia. I'm just not sure whether the N95 email client can do all this too but it's just the standard Symbian mail client so I'm pretty sure it can...
