Wow - interesting to see what they put the phones through. I have to say I'm grateful thinking back to the number of times I've dropped my phones over the years!

Nice to see you on Camera Iwan!!! Well I am surprised to how much testing they do. I knew they were tough. But didnt know they could take extreme conditions. Why not on the software. They wanna make sure that the phones dont switch off whenever they feel like it!

Well done guys, great report, and superb video!

@Ross, you will need a Torx driver, a T5. Have a look over on www.N95users.com/forum as there's loads of information on there

i think my 5 n95 insurance replacements came from this department then :D

THose poor phones do go through a lot! :(

Coincidently my n95 screen has developed a band of dead pixels at the bottom of the screen. Probably because of the steam (from shower) that someone did warn me against.

Anyone know where i can get the correct screw driver to open an n95?

I thought everyone knew about these tests =P

Guess I was wrong, either way this is fantastic PR

Glad you enjoyed yourselves. I have a picture of the OLD test heat test which was literally a cooking tray that went inside an ordinary oven.

Why can't they do this level of testing on their software before it hits the market?! Hardware excellent - software not so good.

A really good review of the place Ewan, I too now have a greater respect for Nokia.
