Introduction
|
|
We got our hands on an unlocked Nokia N95, and we're impressed with many things about it. This Symbian-based multimedia phone lacks a touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard, focusing more on music, video, and photos. It's also a wireless Swiss Army knife, with 3G (HSDPA) support, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, infrared, and an FM radio. Some of the on-board software is trialware, but uploaders for Flickr, YouTube, and Atom-enabled blogs make the N95 a multimedia blogging powerhouse. And you can download lots more apps and games over the air. Although the N95 can be a satisfying phone, its hefty $699 USD list price and lack of a full keyboard may turn off PDA/smartphone seekers.
(Note that this is not the version with 8GB of built-in memory; it has a microSDHC slot instead.)

"Nomia n95 review (opinion)"

Score: 7
Missing touch screen with qwerty keyboard on it, missing auto positioning sensor (horizontal or vertical same as iPhone) for screen rotation, Missing 3G support for US standards, GPS Map not working in US cannot acquire GPS position, volume on headset could be a little louder, no accessories in US or on back order but Nokia do sell phones in US, poor customer support for software (Nokia PC suite not working, Phone browser error) and Nokia aware of the issue with Vista and no fix yet. Menu could be a little easy and more predictable, no dial by la...

"Best multimedia phone ever!"

I've used most major phone brands and I like to get best out of the phone OS and included software. I have always been a big fan of Nokia but I have to say this is the Best Phone Ever made. I've been using GPS, Media Player, 5meg Camera, Voip calling and whole lot more on this phone. Never lets you down when comes to feature on this phone. The only set back is short battery life. But one should realized it is a computer in the palm of your hand. And comparing to a computer a battery lasts for hours and hours.
Get a Car Charger!
