I Love Using My Nokia N95 Mobile To Shop

Panasonic TH-65PX600

I’m in the process of buying a new home and I’m hoping to move in next month.  I’ve been making a list of new ‘toys’ to buy as I’m going to upgrade my AV and home network and one of the items on my shopping list is a new big plasma.

I’d picked out the TV I thought I was going to buy and I was just browsing around John Lewis, when I saw a Panasonic plasma TV that had just been reduced.  It was outside of the budget I’d set, but it was being sold for 65% off the ticketed price so I had to check quickly if it was a good deal, particularly as other people were eying up the TV at the same time.

I whipped out my Nokia N95 went online and within 5 minutes I had:

  • Verified the spec of the Plasma TV
  • Checked that the price was a good one, and even though it was end of line and other stores were discounting it, the John Lewis price was still half that of the others
  • Read a handful of reviews to see how good the TV rated
  • Made a quick post on AV-Forums to see what the users thought of the TV, and I even got a few instant replies via email

Because everything checked out, I purchased the TV and it’s going to be delivered next month. If anyone ever says to me again that the mobile internet isn’t useful, I’m going to give them this example!

  • @Joseph. Not at all - the browser on the Nokia N95 is excellent
  • Wasn't it taxing to surf price comparisons on the N95? I scroll endlessly on my P1i so I stopped surfing with it and use it for email
  • Looking forward to it Everton! Especially if you get that new sound system as well!
  • @Matt

    Feel free to pop round now that you know where I'm moving to!
  • @Everton - Now that is a very impressive TV!! Looking forward to your review of it. Party at your new place with a next-gen console and some Pro Evo then?? :)
  • That's great use of mobile internet. I usually find myself way too slow to find stuff when I'm out and about on my phone!

    Have to practice a bit more..
  • Hi, Everton


    Hows things?

    Yep, sounds like the Nokia N95 is a real convenience tool for you. Its good practice to compare prices of things on the internet. It helps me ask for better prices at real world stores. Its definitely a good point for folks to use smartphones & mobile internet. :)

  • I got a Panasonic TH-65PX600. I 'need' a big screen as my new pad has a big openplan space and a smaller TV will get lost.

    A full review will be coming up in April when I move in, so that I can write the cost off as a business expense!
  • Which TV model did you go for?? I'm currently in the market for a new one!
  • Hope you enjoy your new tv! I've often shopped around on the internet, but not on my mobile.

    I've ordered things on ebay from my N95 a few times!
