Got my n95 in an unsealed opened box with no evidence that the phone hadn't been used before (no sealed plastic packaging, etc.). Anyone else experienced this?

I have to admit that I am wuite excited to hear your opinions on the phone. I am looking into getting one myself, but the reviews found on the usual websites are not rather flattering.
I mention this only to note that the last Nokia I unboxed was not shrink-wrapped, but did have a laser-cut seal over the top and bottom openings. I'm surprised this one doesn't have such seals, and doesn't appear to ever have had these seals.
The ui is very snappy compared to N93, etc.
There's a reason why doesn't ship killer products - the total experience is in many ways a mess. (a basic example shipping a phone with 10-15 app's that doesn't work or just ask for server details (push-to-talk, i'm, visualradio, etc.).
There's a reason why the iphone is a "product" and not a mobile operating system.
Battery.
Started the day with a full battery, went dead picking up the kid at four o'clock. Without having had really long conversations (we'll probably like an 40-50 minutes full talktime) - just showing the phone to the other 23 guys, taking 5-10 photos, etc. (probably lot's of screen use). And still figuring out battery savings efforts in terms of wlan/gps.
Verdict. Definately the best "computer phone" Nokia ever has shipped. The perfect device - nope...
it's becoming a real game guessing whether your phone survives through the day without charging.
today it did. it died on battery here 21 minutes past midnight ;). (and was fully charged at 8am.).
Talking about the GPS. Does it works as a GPS for the car or?
(this is perhaps one of these tools where you really should rtfm ;).
- The battery issue seems to get better over time (after some learning circles). However I've bought two spare batteries (just in case ;-)
- GPS is really tricky up to the point it has locked into min. 3 satellites; it somtimes takes up to 5 minutes ... once it has locked it works. Haven't tested it in my car ...
- I did not find out yet how to make crisp photos with the camera yet. The ones I've made with objects beyond > 20 mtr. have mostly been out of focus ... other appear to be quite 'flat' missing some sort of depth of focus. May this is the tribute that even though the camera records with 5MP the image size rarely goes above 1 MB! ???
(i'm told n80 was really bad on the initial shipped firmware, but was vastly improved in later versions ).
Even though some people report that GPS locks quicker after the update I can't really confirm on a subjective level.
Looks sweet!
