    Has anyone got this phone from O2?

    Seems to be a good deal on their 35euro price pan @ 339euro.

    Im just concerned about the services and mobile internet on the O2 network
    ie. does the gps work?

    Also do those fake 6gb memory cards on ebay work in this phone, has anyoe tried them?

    Any answers would be great,
    Thanks.

    I have the N95 (and a few other phones as well) on O2 and I am happy with it. I just use plain internet access for email, browsing and VoIP and with HSDPA and WiFi that works brilliantly. The HSDPA network is really fast and the N95 makes good use of it. The O2 internet portal and services are less of interest to me but they don't block any ports and (important to me) they have data-roaming agreements with most operators across the world. The GPS works but it sometimes has problems finding the satellites, or it takes a while.

    I've been using it on O2 since July, and haven't had any problems with the service, even on Edge the browser is running very fast. The only issue I have is the battery life is short (2 days very max) although you'll have the problem regardless of network.

    I have a 6gb ebay card in mine. I don't know if it is fake but it did get 2gb fake cards before for a SE that were fine.

    Extended batteries are dodgy though.

    N95's grand - however I wouldn't buy it off O2 again - they're out there on ebay for EUR 450, komplett.ie is selling a B-grade modell (asian market model) for EUR 500-something.
    I think the EUR 300+ for the phone with O2 contracts is overpriced, in Europe the phone's bundled with contracts (10-30EUR/month) for as little as 1 EUR.
    Mobile internet is ****e at O2 - its VERY VERY expensive - 1cent/Kbyte or some funky data package (around 5EUR /Mbyte) which I haven't found a way to buy online yet.
