		<description>Yes, of course it&#039;s affecting the photo quality. That&#039;s what this whole thread is about. When a responsible company (one that doesn&#039;t sell out of a back alley) sells a product that has problems for regular, normally careful uses, they address that problem with a good solution. This is good business and good PR.</description>

		<description>Yeah, let close this discussion. One last thing, though, you say that your Nokia N95 lens is scratched,  i am pretty sure that it is effecting your photo quality. Yes / No ?

Also, why do say I have changed my username?</description>

		<description>Avaneesh, I guess you changed your username? Confusing. ;)

Anyway, I could care less what Nokia does in the future, I want to know how they will address the product fault with the n95s that now have scratched lens covers.</description>

		<description>Davidm,

First of all, let me clarify one thing, I am not supporting Nokia on their strategies or their design concepts and I am certainly not making excuses to justify the removal of the lens cover.

Now, that we have established, whose side i am NOT on. Let me proceed with what i have to say. You say nokia makes a lot of profit. Yes they do, in the phone segment and the smart-phone segment. For the discussion we will concern our selves with the smart-phone segment for obvious reasons.

The smart phone segment for nokia has been doing pretty well and they should considering they were the main stay in the segment anyways, however that has been changing slowly over the years. Also, most of their smart-phone sales were composed of lower end models not their flagship (N95 + N82 (owing to their higher costs, their sales are not what you would call volume sales)). 

That brings me to my previously mentioned point, &quot;product placement&quot; and I wont beat a dead horse anymore.

Hence I arrive to the undeniable conclusion, that since, nokia N95 and N82 are competing against each other in their own respective flagship segments, i wont be keeping my fingers crossed in hopes of seeing  nokia N95 with any of N82&#039;s special features and vice versa.</description>

		<description>Avaneesh, why would Nokia care if a consumer buys an n95 or n82? It&#039;s a sale either way. They already have too many product lines, no wonder they can&#039;t provide good focus and consistency. 

Compare Nokia to Apple, who has one mobile line that receives the same software updates and outstanding after sale service.

I had a 6 year old Panasonic camera that suffered from a known defect, Panasonic did a free $500 repair for me 5 years out of warranty. This is another good example of responsible companies building loyalty.

Honestly, why should we care about Nokia&#039;s product segments, considering the topic of this post is scratches on the n95 lens cover, not abstract marketing discussion from Nokia&#039;s point of view.

We don&#039;t need to make excuses for Nokia, they&#039;re making record profits, but their competitors are doing a much better job standing up for their customers. Lack of critical consumer attention, including blind loyalty for global companies, just leads to bad products and support. Right now the n95 camera quality is one of the outstanding feature of the n95 line, they should be making sure consumers can trust them to support important features.

I want to know how to fix this problem and if Nokia is going to be useful, for example, providing replacement lens covers for affected modules.</description>

		<description>Avaneesh, why would Nokia care if a consumer buys an n95 or n82? It&#039;s a sale either way. They already have too many product lines, no wonder they can&#039;t provide good focus and consistency. 

Compare Nokia to Apple, who has one mobile line that receives the same software updates and outstanding after sale service.

I had a 6 year old Panasonic camera that suffered from a known defect, Panasonic did a free $500 repair for me 5 years out of warranty. This is another good example of responsible companies building loyalty.

Honestly, why should we care about Nokia&#039;s product segments, considering the topic of this post is scratches on the n95 lens cover, not abstract marketing discussion from Nokia&#039;s point of view.

We don&#039;t need to make excuses for Nokia, they&#039;re making record profits, but their competitors are doing a much better job standing up for their customers. Lack of critical consumer attention, including blind loyalty for global companies, just leads to bad products and support. Right now the n95 camera quality is one of the outstanding feature of the n95 line, they should be making sure consumers can trust them to support important features.

I want to know how to fix this problem and if Nokia is going to be useful, for example, providing replacement lens covers for affected modules.</description>

		<description>davidm, that is not what i meant at all. All, I am saying is that if nokia puts a lens cover on the N95 (which is a more sought after feature than the xenon flash..i presume)..

more people would buy the n95 and not the n82...

and that would totally kills the N82 segment...

this way..the customers have a choice of two models and not one.</description>

		<description>And by the way, this is the way a company that is concerned about their customers:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1977

Free power supply replacement, even outside warranty, for all fraying Macbook power supplies.

Then again, Apple has a lot more clue when it comes to consistent, well supported products which builds up a incredible loyalty. Perhaps they deserve it.</description>

		<description>Zaarch, that may make sense in some demented corporate universe. But do you think Nokia expects consumers to buy both an n95 (for the bigger screen) and an n82 (for the lens cover)? No. They simply decided the n95 wouldn&#039;t have a lens cover. It is not going to lead to more sales for them.

As mentioned, I babied my n95, always keeping it in a separate soft pocket, but now with a scratched up lens, one of the device&#039;s key features is near useless.

I wrote to Nokia about this issue and they came back with a very patronizing reply that blamed it all on me, with a corporate template answer about getting an expensive repair.

So I ordered a replacement lens cover. Unfortunately, despite my checking, it&#039;s the wrong size for my n95-3.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement n95-3 lens cover? At least I found out it&#039;s relatively easy to replace. If only Nokia would step up and treat their consumers with respect for this -fault-. Anyone want to start a class action suit?</description>

		<description>Well if they did put a lens cover on the N95..then why would any one buy the  N82 ( barring the xenon flash of course)..

i think nokia could have squeezed in a lens cover...but like i said..above they chose not to..

this way... nokia has two distinct flagship devices...

hence more scope to capture market....

apparently what is sometimes in the best interest of the company is not is the best interest of the consumer..


i somehow dont foresee an N95 or N96 or its successor with a lens cover...dont expect to see an N82 or successor with a bigger screen</description>

		<description>I am about to order the blueunplugged replacement lens window.. actually, I will order 2 since shipping is likely to be the highest cost.. 

does anyone know if I could put some screen protector material over this lens window? Or would it have a bad effect on picture quality? if it would work, which screen protectors have you tried?

Thanks!</description>

		<description>If I got an N95 as a present I&#039;d keep it for sure lol. Seems kind of weird making money off of something your own mom gave you haha.

I&#039;ll take it! :)</description>
