Sure, Jack Bauer could escape from the island in Lost in 24 hours. But what about the rest of us? Could you find your way back to civilisation if you were stranded with nothing but your N95 and a handful of conveniently prepared accessories and applications? Well, we’ve hatched a plan and how to be best prepared should the need arise. Read on for our ultimate N95 escape plan…

What you’ll need…

N95 or N95 8GB

Solio Solar charger with N95 adapter

Google Maps

Sensy Scan

Anti Mosquito

Handy Weather

D2D Waterproof Pouch

Escape plan

Step 1: Get juiced up to the eyeballs!

Escaping from Lost island requires stamina, so once you’re finished doing pull-ups on the nearest palm tree you’ll want to energize your N95. It’s going to be put through its paces. With no electricity in sight (unless you fancy asking the Others if you could borrow their charger…), you’re going to have to use the rays of that tropical sun. The Solio Solar charger fits the bill nicely, and as luck would have it there’s an adapter for the N95 available. So now you’ve got power on tap it’s time to make your excuses get going.

Step 2: Plotting your course

The Others have a boat, and you’ve got to find it. If anyone has detailed maps of an uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific Lost, it’s going to be Google, so make sure you’ve got the Google Maps app installed on your N95. Then find your location using GPS, switch to the satellite view and before you can say “Dharma Initiative” you’re scoping a sweet sky view of the entire island. Zoom in and search the coastline until you locate the Others’ dock. That’s your destination, brother.

Step 3: Install eyes in the back of your head

Sure you could cope with Sawyer nicking your copy of Razzle and Hurley chowing down on those precious rations while you were living on the beach. But now that you’ve left the comfort of the collective, you’re on your own and in the jungle you’ll need an extra pair of eyes to ensure you don’t get man-napped by the Others, or dragged into a Polar bear’s cave. Your Nok’s got your back, of course: an app called Sensy Scan will transform an N95 into a motion-detecting security camera, so you’ll know exactly who’s creeping up on you.

Step 4: Apply monster repellent

Trekking your way through the jungle means gnats, mosquitoes and, er, body-breaking killer creatures made of barbecue smoke. The first two can be driven off with Anti Mosquito, an app that emits a mozzie-repelling high-pitched squeal from your Nokia’s speakers. Who knows, it might work on polar bears and smoke monsters too. We know the cloudy doom-monger doesn’t like electromagnetic pulses, so failing the ability to turn your phone into a powerful magnet you might want to shoo it away with an annoying ringtone as a last resort – can’t imagine it’ll like the Crazy Frog much. Worth a go, eh.

Step 5: We are sailing…

Right, so you’ve found the boat, having avoided detection by the Others and otherworldly beasts. Thanks to Google Maps you’re going to be able to set a course and sail back to civilisation – but what about that strange weather system the Lost island has? Rainstorms coming out of nowhere? Not good. Your Nok is here to help yet again, with Handy Weather, the trusty app that lets you check the current conditions in any spot on the globe by keying in the latitude and longitude: we’re talking rainfall measurements, visibility, wind speed and direction – anything you could want to know. Check it in advance and make sure it’s plain sailing all the way back to the mainland. Oh, and don’t forget to pop your Nok in its D2D waterproof pouch before heading off into those choppy waters, or it could get fried and leave you floating like shark bait in the Pacific.
