I recently used Google Maps for navigation, and that was alright, but obviously it doesn't do what TomTom can. Best suggestions I've read thus far are that 1) TomTom are supposed to be working on a fix for the N95 GPS and 2) The installation instructions I found in a thread on the <a href="http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=38742&view=by_date_ascending&page=1" rel="nofollow">Nokia Forums</a>. Obviously I can't vouch for them as I haven't tried them, but I hope that helps. Hi Paul

Currently it’s on sd card for my XDA exec. Anyone know how to get it installed and working for my N95? I've read that it won't work with the built in gps but i do have the bluetooth jobbie I used on the XDA.

You would be able to use a Skype account through it, and as long as you were able to use a Wifi connection, you could call across the Skype network. You can also call Fring users too. In terms of phone, well I'm going to say the Nokia N95 as a user and fan of it, but any of the S60 Nokias that have Wifi would do the job. Hi Rajiv

I've done this over a slow 3G connection, and it worked (although not brilliantly) quite a while ago on my old Nokia phone, so it should be better on Wi-fi. In summary, just install Fring, then add Skype as one of the accounts.

I went and tried to download Skype directly to my N95 but it started to download and then failed. I am in range of a wi-fi Modem most of the time and it would be very useful to be able to make calls using my Skype account.
