I got a loaner N95 from my friend today. The phone looks good. Will it be a competition for iPhone? After 2 hours of using it, I don’t think so. And it costs $800 on Amazon.

- N95 slides open in my pocket easily. This one even automatically unlocks the phone keys when it slides open.

- Setting up WLAN is a pain. I could not figure out how to delete WLAN entered I have made.

- GPS says I am somewhere in Europe. I will try again.

- Bluetooth kills the battery as usual. Every phone I have had the same issue, no exception here.

- No touch screen. I did not realize this before. Bummer.

I cannot believe that with all the technologies out there, an expensive phone like this is so mediocre in usability.
