i was recently on here researching the n95 before buying one a month ago. i remember a discussion on using it as a webcam, i'm pretty sure it was either here, here or here. i'm afraid you will have to sift through a lot of pages but its worth it coz i'm sure there is tonnes of stuff that will not only enrich your knowledge but also your n95!

oh i forgot to mention. google is your friend with this one and there are tonnes of websites out there devoted to n95 applications such as webcam use. symbianfreak.com is handy.

sqlpro: so N95 works differently with laptop and pc!!? interesting.

its more likely you have differing operating systems or hardware, i don't think it will simply be because its a laptop.

oh well atleast u managed to on-sell the fake one. the 8gb one u bought looks legit, however am not sure about whether its a vodafone nz one. looks like its parallel imported coz its got a black box and usually vodafone has its bright red boxes cranking! not that it really matters, both PI and vodafone nz new ones have their advantages and disadvantages.

It'll be a PI one, I don't think Vodafone is selling the 8GB yet.

na vodafone nz hasnt got any 8gig and wont be for awhile i was talking to them today, they have to get rid of the 160Mb ones first, if they had the 8gig ones i would had snaped to it. i know what u mean about the advantage and disadvantage of vodafone and PIs,the settings and icons are different. well i cant wait to get my new phone!
