Nokia vs The US Consumer Market
Looks like Eric Rice is experiencing some frustrations dealing with Nokia. Not the same frustrations that I had when trying to get my N95, but the theme is familiar. Nice to know I’m not the only one.
Good luck figuring out the answer to your question Eric, but also keep in mind:
- You’ll have to hack the config that the online Nokia configurator gives you for ATT if you don’t want screwed up images when using the built in browser. Screwed up images are, for some reason, the default.
- Firmware updates are a crapshoot, make sure you backup to something besides the memory card.
- Using the N95 as a Bluetooth modem under OS X works unreliably, it connects for a few minutes and then randomly disconnects. None of the solutions I’ve found online seem to work for me.

Hey Mike, just a quick FYI for you: Newer devices (starting with the euro-spec N95 8GB I believe, but might have been the N81) will automatically create 2 MediaNet APs when an ATT SIM is registered. The first is the old one - if for some reason you want to be able to visit the MediaNet homepage. The second is the proxy-less AP to circumvent the ATT-proxy image bug.
