There is this interesting and pretty comprehensive evaluation by one of their trialist who has blogged his experience on the Z560. http://samsung.vintedge.com/z5...p?u=ultra135 He or she is even comparing with Nokia N70 and there are other interestings facts like Bluetooth, memory card, etc. Cool ! Seems that he or she is adding more before the trial ends in mid January.

Nobody has, at this time. Do I want one for my birthday? If I can afford the $700 (or more) at that time. (What will N95 pricing in the Philippines be?) I hope the camera is better than the N80’s. The GPS would be useful for building a Manila map, if only you could carry this safely on the street. If only there were a local Nokia Blogger Relations Program. Would I be on it? I’m sure Abe would - an operator already gave him a review handset. [...] [...] I don’t have an N95 yet. Nobody has, at this time. Do I want one for my birthday?

So it looks like something's wrong with the phone's Java implementation. Hopefully the Opera developers do something in their next release or this gets corrected in a firmware update. Another thing I noticed, the battery when drained takes about 3 hrs to fully charge. & the battery life is only about 2 days. Network mode is auto though so the phone switches between GPRS, EDGE & HSDPA frequently depending on my present location. Hi Yuga thanks for testing it out.
