Default Ive just ordered a N95 8GB, now what?

Its been years since I have had a phone i can install applications on!

Ideally i'd like Tomtom running on it with the built in GPS and MSN messenger, can anyone help with that if its available?

What other applications do you recommend?

I wouldn't mind borrowing TomTom to see what it performs like. I could then replace my PDA version.

Viewranger is a cool app if you're into walking or mountain biking ViewRanger : Off-road Topographic Map Navigation, Sports GPS, Buddy Beacon Tracking and Location-Based Content

How do you get MSN on it? Wouldn't the lack of keyboard make it a PITA to chat?

Sure, some instructions on what to do with the phone when installing stuff would be good too!

The only thing I've loaded on my phone is the LightSabre app.
Mind you, the phone was utter cr@p until I removed all the Orange settings/apps off it!

Exactly why i declined the Orange N95 i was offered, i told them i didnt want it loaded with there own software!

Ive gone with 02, not a bad deal, 12 months at £35 pm with 400 mins and 500 texts and the phone was FREE!

Any help regarding getting some satnav on it tomorrow?

I didn't believe TomTom could use the internal GPS on the N95, you have to use an external dongle great if I'm wrong)

I've had my N95 8GB for a while, run TomTom, MSN Messenger, Opera, and a few other bits.

Good phone, sometimes a little slow though.

The internal GPS unit is **** (compared to the external GPS unit I use)

Battery life is good, I'd sugest checking its running hte latest firmware, if not upgrade it.

The new tom tom work with it and the internal GPS is spot on if you use it right.

Also its only slow if you leave all the provider crap on there !!

Change the phone code and flash it !!
