in N95 8GB: Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer. on Mobile Industry Review
Turn the phone off. Hold the red button while turning it back on, or keep pressing the red button, can't remember which. When the phone turns on switch off active standby, this is normally the cause of this issue. You might want to do a factory reset, press *#7370#. Happened to me when I changed the product code on my N95-1 then did a restore with the nokia pc suite.

in Hutchison’s INQ readying challenge to Nokia, Moto & Apple on Mobile Industry Review
The Facebook integration is through support of Widgets, there is an option for 2 active widgets on the home screen at a time including RSS feeds, weather, yahoo search or a world clock. I assume, perhaps wrongly that this means they are downloadable to the handset and therefore very user friendly indeed. See Engadget for the photos from which I have made this deduction.

Mike42 Nah, FB is an app. Not a widget.

in We’re getting our hands on Android next week on Mobile Industry Review
I was sat opposite a young lady on a train yesterday and couldn't help noticing the google carrier bag next to her. My eyes were then drawn to the T-Mobile lanyard she was wearing. The smile on my face was hard to conceal as she reached inside the aforementioned bag and pulled out a shiny new all black G1! I managed to sit still for about 5 seconds before leaning over and asking a barrage of questions. It turns out she was a crackberry addict so wasn't to keen on the g1, lucky for me she was more than happy to let me have a play! It's bigger than I thought but feels smaller, if that makes sense! The screen is very slick, the unit feels well built (as we have come to expect from htc) and the slide is smooth. I also like the addition of the trackball, makes for a very intuitive device interface. The rep did have one negative though, it seems bluetooth can only be used in the headset profile, no file transfer or modem connection (unless she simply didn't know how to use it). Didn't get a chance to try out the web browser though, she didn't have a sim in this unit. Overall I was very impressed, just a shame I abandoned T-Mobile last year in favour of 3UK otherwise I would be very tempted to upgrade to one.

in What’s Your Favourite Mobile, EVER? on Mobile Industry Review
I had a CMD-J5, similar spec to the Z5, brilliant phone! It had one of the best screens of any phone at the time, looked so different to any other phone on the market and was incredibly slim. It had quite a following amongst modders and even had a cameo in the fantastic PS2 game "The Getaway".

I have to say that my all time fave phone is my N95. It is as durable as the old school Nokia bricks, I can comfortably surf the web on it - albeit using opera mini. I have the latest official firmware and it hasn't restarted itself in months. To top it off I have just received an email to my phone before it was even a twinkle in the eye of my desktop gnotifier. I have been using the new push email service from 3uk (text email to 33000 to give it a go) supports multiple accounts including exchange, gmail and hotmail at the same time and seems to be a lot easier on the battery than other solutions I have tried. I have had this phone for a year and imho nothing comes close to it's functionality on the market or even on the horizon at the moment.

Samantha The Getaway... I'm sure I have that in my PS2 collection somewhere! I'll have a look for it!

Thanks for that, I've never used an N95 either. I'm sure James will vouch for it though!

Thanks for reading, and commenting!

Samantha.
