Vodafone… We took your N95 VOIP away from you… for your own benefit.

The Nokia N95 is (until the iphone shows up) the top of the tree phone in the UK this year. However if you buy it from Nokia you’ll find it rather different from the version you buy from say, Vodafone and Orange. And the missing thing is VOIP.
All the networks got to tweak the firmware on the N95, but Voda and Orange actually got the VOIP hooks taken out. Now the cynical amongst you might be thinking that this is to make more money for Vodafone. But aparently you would be wrong. Vodafone did it to help you… and the fact that it safeguards their huge profits is purely co-incidental ;)
An official told the Pocket Lint website
"Vodafone works to ensure its handset range provides a consistent and good experience for customers. In line with other operators we do not always take the ‘vanilla’ version of a device. Vodafone continually assesses customer feedback as to which applications or features should be incorporated into future devices."
and also
that it needs to do "in-depth testing, a solid end-to-end customer experience, billing integration and customer service support which is not currently available"
So there you have it.. the features are disabled to make you feel better….. yeah right.
