My contract with Vodafone comes up for renewal later this year and the N95 is definitely the one I want at the moment. But there is no way that I will entertain the notion of an N95 from Vodafone that has had the VoIP client crippled from using the inbuilt WiFi.
Vodafone have some clear choices - leave the darned handset alone and put up with the vastly relative few who will use VoIP as well as Vodafone's minutes. Or take the risk that these same "few" will walk away and therefore lose not only the potential VoIP minutes but the entire contract.
Still, others will buy a Vodafone N95 and get it un-crippled by having the handset unbranded back to Nokia original firmware.
What a ridiculous state to put themselves in. So, come June I'm off to a network who have not crippled the N95 and Vodafone will have lost the business for what?
