Hi folks... now that the N95 8GB is out, has anyone had any real-world experience to share? The N95 8GB's 12000mAH battery should theoretically give better run time than the original N95's 950mAH battery. But the new phone also has a bigger screen.

very poor as far as my experience goes. I have bought three batteries from different sellers for this power guzzler, but none lasts beyond 10 hrs with very moderate use. I wouldn't recommend this phone for heavy users.

Hi, I've had one for over 2yrs, it's never lasted less than a day, and with minimal use it's still not dead after 4 days, been a fantastic phone and I still keep it as a spare with a payg sim and use it as an alarm clock. All smart phones will use 'juice' with heavy use, they're having to do alot of work playing video, music, web browsing and taking pictures ! Plus if you actually send or recieve a txt or phone call it will use even more. Mine still on the original battery, but I believe from other forums Mugen do good replacements, not necessarily a good idea from a warrenty point of view, but if the phones over a year old, or you fancy trying something with alonger lifespan might be worth a try. I have a spare for my N97, which dies after about 10hrs everyday, but it hardly ever stops working so it's what I expect.

Good Luck
