European N95 8GB and N95 8GB NA are totally same this one just has NA 3G. Classic N95 had the crappy battery. Thought still this aint anything to shout about, but it's ok now.
It depends on how much you use it. I have several friends with it. At the start they all had bad battery life but they spend half the day playing with the GPS and other things on it, or left the camera running in the background etc.
Generally the battery is on a par with the other smartphones on the market as long as you dont go around blasting the GPS on whenever someone wants to see it.
becu55 - the 8GB is much better then the original N95 (EU) version.
I'm currently using one, voice (1-2 hour) and 3G usage every day, some camera (about six pics), podcasts (1 hour) and half-hour GPS, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on. It has plenty of battery left at the end of the day. Typically it runs for two days, if I don't use one of the functions above.
It's not the best, but for me it's acceptable and much better than the original N95.
My battery (n95 classic) last 2 or 3 days. Of course, there aren't portable device that allow bluetooth, wifi and gps working all the day with one charge.

There's a N95 Black 8GB on eBay right now but does anyone know how much it will go for?
But is it just the EU version. It looks totally same as this and has been in sale for months now.
