The good: The Nokia N95 cell phone boasts a 5-megapixel camera that produces good-quality photos and videos. It comes with advanced multimedia capabilities and has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Symbian smart phone also features integrated GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and an innovative two-way slider design. The bad: The N95 lacks support for U.S. 3G networks; standby battery life is poor; and performance is somewhat sluggish. The hardware feels a bit cheap, and the sliding mechanism could be more secure. It's also very expensive. The bottom line: With a 5-megapixel camera, advanced multimedia capabilities, and GPS, there's no doubt that the Nokia N95 is one of the most feature-packed smart phones to date, but poor battery life and sluggish performance makes it hard to justify the high price tag.Read full review
The Nokia N95 is an impressive device, and one that is set to become the top high end smartphone for 2007. What impresses about the N95 is that so many features have been packed into a relatively small device. is a 5 megapixel camera (with VGA video capture too), connectivity options galore (USB, Infrared, Bluetooth, GSM, WCDMA, HSDPA and WLAN), integrated GPS, 150MB of internal memory (expandable via a microSD slot), and a feature packed and application laden software platfrom - S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. with a large 2.6 inch screen which looks absolutely great, below this are the main control keys. First impressions are that these keys are well laid out and easy to use. The big S60 application key is particularly good. A quick push on the bottom of the device pushes the screen up to reveal the full keypad. Each row of keys is on its own ridge and there is good tactile feedback. Audio output via the audio jack is excellent, and the N95 now has the option to stream stereo music over Bluetooth (A2DP). However, for video, the N95 has an extra trick up its sleeve in the form of a new application called Video Centre. This gives easy access to videos from various online sources. By default there are two services available - Nseries (various Nokia themed videos) and Internet videos. The latter is essentially an RSS videocatcher, it allows the downloads of video via RSS feeds with enclosures. Thus any video source that provides RSS feeds can be used in this section provided the format is supported by the N95. For example you can add the AAS videocast feed here and download them direct to the phone. I'm sure in time more services will be added. I imagine Nokia are talking to video providers like YouTube and Blip.tv as you read this. The N95 runs S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. This is the latest version of the S60 software platform, and although only a relatively minor update compared to the changes between 'Editions', still manages to add a number of new features. There is a new version of S60 browser than combines Services and Web into one application and adds a number of new features, including improved RSS and Flash Lite support and a quick access toolbar. There is also support for more Bluetooth profiles (including the aforementioned A2DP stereo audio profile), while SIP functionality (for VoIP) becomes a standard part of the platform. There have been a number of UI changes too, these include a notification graphic over the icons of applications that are open, more application layout options (accessed via an extended Themes application) and a redesigned and reordered Settings application.

This is an awesome array of technology on one tiny package. PHONE: Nokia provides *the best* mobile phone interface on the market & the N95 has it too. This is the core functionality in the N95 and getting back to the phone or answering calls while using the rest of the phone's features is a one-button operation no matter what other mode the phone is in at the time. Call quality was excellent at all times. One quibble is the necessity to carefully place the speaker right on the ear, which took me a few calls to get used to doing. Once I got the hang of it - it was second nature. CAMERA(S): This phone has two lenses; the main one is exposed by a manual slide opened with one finger; this is the lens used for 5MPxl still & DVD quality video recording. The second lens faces the user when in phone mode and appear to be for video-phone purposes. The main lens has a short focal length and though it allows zooming, it is best suited for portrait still shots or video taping of close-in action (think people around a table at a restaurant). WEB-BROWSING: This works as well as small screen will allow; personally I would prefer a full PDA, but nothing beats being able to look up addresses etc on the web while on the fly - so his feature gets a thumbs up too. (For a phone the N95 has quite a big screen, so really I shouldn't complain.) MENUS: Getting around and changing mode etc on the Nokia N95 was fairly easy given the large number of modes & things it can do. Nokia have provided a simple graphical interface which is quick & easy to learn and easy to use. This was no small feat, but great user interfaces are one of Nokia's strengths. STURDINESS: The phone did not strike me as indestructible like some of the older Nokias. The front plate with the screen on it slides open for use as a phone to expose the keypad (and in the other direction to expose some camera/ video controls). The buttons have good tactile characteristics but have a very short travel which I thought would take some getting used to. That said, they had the distinctive Nokia 'click', and the physical interface and user expereince of the N95 all say 'quality'. SUM UP: This is an amazing little phone; whoever carries it should have a case or cover for it to protect it from keys and other pocket hazards. Having a video recorder, camera, GPS navigation and web-browser whereever you go in a single device is huge.Read full review
I'm a cell phone geek... It's my neverending quest to find the perfect cell phone. It hasn't been built yet, but this model is getting close to that perfect 5 score. SCREEN: the screen is large and with 16m colors, quite vibrant. It's great that you can rotate the picture to landscape view. Definitely get a screen protector and to save battery life, you can dim the screen (tools settings personalisation display). CAMERA: Yesss-Lens cover! Superior 5 megapixel camera easy to use and takes excellent photos and video. I don't notice any lag, which others have complained about. I think it's great. BUILD quality: My slider is well-built with no wobbles. (Some have loose sliders) NOT impressed with the plastic keyboard, navigational pad and the cheap clicky noises. I heard criticism on the quality but didn't think I'd feel that way. I do- and so will you! For a high priced phone, Nokia used cheap components. The keypad is a bit bigger than the N73 but still hard to text. MUSIC, VIDEO and TV OUT- you can use a standard headphone jack, A2DP too! It comes with a cable to hook up to your TV (too cool) and the music player/sound quality is very good. Speakerphone is good. Lots of extras! WEB BROWSING, WIFI- I love the ease of WIFI- (setting up access points are so simple), excellent web browser (no wap browser). A+++ rating RADIO FREQENCY (RF)- Of course it's important that the phone works! It does! Very very good antenna- it even makes calls in one area that has no bars. GPS- You need to be outdoors to access satellites and to get voice navigation you have to pay (subscribe). Downloading maps takes time. But I still like this extra function. SYMBIAN OS- I love Series60v3. There are so many great programs and games- whatever you want you can find and use with this phone. BATTERY- Bad. The phone sucks the life right out of the battery. Be prepared to charge it every day. We can only hope that Nokia gives us a better battery (like the awesome one on the N73). So, my final score is a 4.5. Poor battery life and cheap external parts prevent it from getting a higher score. (And for the money, we expect more) Overall, very satisfied. I'll keep this phone until the E90 is released! LOL Please feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks for reading, hope it's helpful to you! :)Read full review
As most other reviews say, this is an excellent phone! However, most listings fail to mention which version is being sold - whether it is the original N95 (a.k.a. N95-1), or the newly released (Oct 2007) N95-3. (There is also the N95 8GB, which is can be clearly distinguished from the other two in that it has a black faceplate and larger screen). I won't even mention the "Nokla" ("enhanced", "touch-screen") knock-off. To date, most N95s sold on eBay are the N95-1 model. This was originally released in Europe and Asia, and later sold in the USA, but without support for the U.S. specific 3G (UMTS/HSDPA over W-CDMA) frequencies. In other words, although it is a quad-band GSM phone (900/1800 and 850/1900 MHz), it supports only the 2100 MHz W-CDMA (3G) band used in Europe and Asia. Another couple of complaints with this original version is the short battery life and limited runtime memory (RAM), resulting in a sluggish application performance and/or out-of-memory errors. On September 27th, Nokia released the N95-3 model in its flagship stores in New York and Chicago, and have since started selling this model online (http://www.nseries.com/) as well. This model increases the battery capacity from 900 to 1200 mAh (and adds some battery optimizations in software as well), increases RAM from 64 to 128 MB, and uses the 850/1900 MHz W-CDMA bands for use on AT&T's 3G network. (Because of the larger battery, though, the sliding cover for the camera lens had to be removed - this is the most visible change in its appearance). In addition, this new version supports the SDHC standard for TransFlash cards larger than 2GB (though adding support for this should be possible in the N95-1 too via a (fortcoming?) software update). Also beware that most ads for the N95 say "US" or "North American" version, despite being the N95-1. Aside from these differences, here are some pros and cons of the N95: Pros: - Large 2.6" QVGA screen makes it usable for simple web browsing and navigation - Web browser (based on KHTML/Apple WebKit, same as Safari) supports "minimaps" - i.e. a thumbnail overview of the page/navigation. - Connect to the internet over GSM (GPRS, EDGE), WCDMA (UTMS, HSDPA), or WiFi. Suppports both WEP, WPA/Personal, and WPA/802.1x encryption. - Built-in GPS and Maps application (and Google Maps for the Symbian OS now supports GPS) - Practically unlimited number of alarms, calendar events, etc (most other phones will allow a maximum of 2-5 alarms) - All common bluetooth profiles (incl A2DP for stereo audio, DUN for internet access from a nearby computer, OBEX, FTP, etc. etc.) - Good support for Mac OS X via Nokia Multimedia Transfer (for iTunes, iPhoto) and a downloadable iSync plugin. - One of the best cameras in a mobile phone to date - see reviews at: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Nokia-N95-Samsung-G600-and-Sony-Ericsson-K850-Camera-Comparison-review-r_1817.html http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k850_vs_nokia_n95-review-162.php Cons: - Keys on keypad a bit too small/dense for comfortably typing without looking (not that you should be doing this while driving anyway.. :-) - A little thick compared to its contemporaries (e.g. iPhone) - though I don't see how it could be any slimmer without sacrificing camera optics. - Only available unlocked, i.e. not carrier subsidized. - The removal of the lens cover in the N95-3 and N95 8GB models means the camera lens will absorb fingerprints, and worse, scratches.Read full review
