Extending Battery Life on the Nokia N95
If you search you will find quite a few tips on extending the battery life on the Nokia N95.
In common with so many of the "funky" phones that are a cross between mobile phone and computer (the N95 is a lot more powerful than my first PC!), the battery life is one of the device's weakest points.
Simple things that you can do include turning off options that you don't need such as WLAN scanning. If you need to connect to a wireless LAN all you have to do is double-click - there's no need to do a background scan every few seconds and eat up battery life.
Of course the simplest solution is to upgrade the battery!
If you headover to EBay you should find a number of vendors selling compatible batteries with matching backplates. The backplate is essential as the longer life batteries are physically thicker than the standard one that ships with the phone.
Needless to say Nokia will not accept any responsibility if you use a non-Nokia battery, but I'm yet to hear of anybody reporting serious issues.
