Well I have to say as a fan of Nokia the N95 did not disappoint. The screen is great it is extremely user friendly and has so many features and applications it will keep you busy for ages.
However, a couple of things to point out with the N95 is the Satnav facility. This was one of the reasons I bought the phone, you have to download the maps, sometimes the software can be a bit dodgy ( I had to reinstall the maps and format my disk to get it to work) Its a great service, but you do have to pay extra to get the actual voice navigation program. After paying line rental and call costs the last thing I wanted to do was spend more money!
The camera is pretty awesome for a phone and was the first mobile phone to have a 5megapixel Carl Zeiss camera.
The back of my phone came off, probably after dropping it a few times, and now it wont stay on which cant be fixed. I guess it is not as durable as I would like, or maybe I am too clumsy.
The music player is not loud enough, its clear and sharp but can barely be heard, the headphones are great as you dont have to use the phone to skip tracks you can use the headphone attachment.
The battery lasts for a long time! Especially if you dont spend hours talking on it. It lasted about three days when I went away and forgot my charger!
All in all its a great phone, but the upgraded 8gb is much better as you really do need alot of storage space to enjoy it to the full.
One thing I will add, is that I recently got the phone fixed as the screen cracked. When it came back from the shop the reception was affected and I could barely get one bar at home. Lesson here is to be careful where you get it fixed as some small shops may do more damage than good!
