N95 EXCELLENT

Advantages: good camera, lots of features
Disadvantages: expensive

...Before purchasing the N95 as part of my latest contract with the carphone warehouse I decided to do my own research on it. I read very mixed reviews on it. Some people were saying that it was the best phone they'd ever bought, yet others practically slated it for things such as use of battery life, size, slowness. Nethertheless, I decided to go with it anyway after experimenting with a friends N95 and absolutely loving it. I loved the way it looked as it had a good sized screen, a good weight, not too big or small and of course being a fan of photography I liked the fact it had a 5megapixel carl zeiss lens. I also liked the way the phone slides both ways. The first to reveal the keypad for sms, menu options etc. And the other way for use of the music player contols. So heres a breakdown of what I think about some of its main...

Nokia N95

Advantages: large screen
Disadvantages: none

...and bright. The software, this is where the N95 excels over normal handsets, it runs a OS system called Symbian. Being a smartphone it falls into the same category as other handsets like HTC which use Windows Mobile as the prefered OS. Symbian is very different to the Windows based OS, having used both my opinion is that the Windows based OS is better and more useable. Windows mobile is more "fully" functional and will truely integrate into your PC windows based OS. Making contacts/e-mails/music & files more interchangeable and the connection between your PC and the device is almost seamless. You can install applications/games etc on the N95 too which is a nice feature. I installed Tom Tom Satellite navigation software on my N95 and it worked very very well, the Nokia maps software i found was really not up to the job. It took around 10 minutes to...

Review of Nokia N95

The Nokia N95

Advantages: Excellent services
Disadvantages: Large in size

...The beginning: I bought the nokia N95 when it came newly on the market. It was brought through a contract with o2 after I closed my sim only contract where I payed £25 a month (I think). o2 rang me and asked me if I wanted an upgrade and truthfully I was looking to buy a new phone as I originally had a nokia 6600, which as you may well know is nearly the size of a brick (although the nokia n95 isn't really any smaller). Anyway the o2 supervisor asked me which type of contract I wanted which got sorted but I wanted the 'newest phone out' which at that time was the nokia N95. When the o2 supervisor mentioned it had a navigation system, I thought 'I'll have that please' so agreed to buy it on contract. I didn't know which colours they had and which colour I was going to get but I came to have the plum colour one, which I preferred in...

Review of Nokia N95

The Nokia N95

Advantages: Good quality with plenty of great features and applications
Disadvantages: Short battery life, may occasionally freeze

...The Nokia n95 was first released on sale in the UK at the beginning of 2007. It was one of the most advanced phones available at this time. It has a lot to offer the owner. First of all, the display is a 240 x 360 TFT display with ambient light detector and up to 16million different colours to take your fancy. The display is quite clear with not a lot of icons to clutter up the space. The signal and battery levels are illustrated in the top corners of the screen split either side of the time and the profile selection, e.g. silent, general, and meeting. Beneath this we have the main tabs showing from left to right; the contacts list, radio DJ, bluetooth, web, gallery and maps. The calendar is hidden below this and can be opened to view dates and set reminders for birthdays etc. These reminders appear on the main display screen which is...

Nokia N95

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: disappointing sat nav

...I recently purchased the Nokia N95 I have now had it for about two weeks, I haven't had a chance to use all the features, but have used quite a few and had a play around. So thought I would write a review and then update it as I try more and more of the features. The N95 is packed with features and this review could last for days if I explained them all. I'm going to concentrate on the most used and interesting features. Lets start with the look and the screen size: I like Nokias and am a fan and I haven't been disappointed with the look and feel of the N95. My other half has a Nokia N73 and when they are side by side the phones look very similar the difference and in my opinion the benefit of the N95 is the screen size. The screen is large for such a compact phone, it is 2.6 inch all the technical specifications can be found...

Review of Nokia N95

Nokia N95

Advantages: Screen is great
Disadvantages: Bit bulky

...There are lots of reviews telling all the technical bits. So I thought I would just stick to how the nikia N95 really is. First impressions are its a bit bulky but its a great looking phone. The screen is a fantastic size and very clear. The phone also feels robust, not like you will break it the minute you sit down in your jeans. The buttons are very neatly shaped making them easy to press. Many of the new phones have very small buttons and therefore are not easy to use. You will be pleased that texting away is quick and comfy. It has all nokia's usuall features, with some added extras. The map feature sounds better than it is unless you are prepared to go online. Many places do noy show up on the map feature unless connected. But if you are willing to use your mobile to connect to the internet its a great feature. You...

Review of Nokia N95

Nokia N95

Advantages: Great Camera, lots of extras
Disadvantages: not enough storage space, music loudspeaker not that loud

...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...

N95 - Nokia's Finest

Advantages: Features, Features, Features
Disadvantages: Battery Life

...Having always been a Nokia fan, when the time came to upgrade by phone from the 'very functional once you upgraded the firmware' N73, I had little hesitation in going for the N95, despite staff at O2 advising me the K850i was a 'vastly superior phone'. The handset was free and the contact very rosy so I waited eagerly for it's arrival. It was easy to se up, the phone worked well straight out of the box. Being a bit of a geek my first port of call was gadgets, the mp3 player, video player, camera etc. The screen proved to be large and well designed. The onboard real player function makes an excellent video player. The 5Mps camera is as you'd expect excellent and the auto focus is a godsend to someone an inept at photography as myself. Thanks once again to the screen internet use it easy, and the camera functions clear. The video...

Review of Nokia N95

The N95.. has just entered the building

Advantages: 3.5G MT and 5MG Camera
Disadvantages: Only the price

...I have been admiring this mobile for quite a while before poppin into the local Vodaahphone shop and jumping in feet first. What I love about this mobile is that it just seems to have an elegance to it. Nothing is a hassle, the interface is slick and smooth without too much menu complications. It perfect for you none technical folk out their who perfer a simple mobile and who don't like trawling through all those Spanish, Japanese, instructions. The Nokia N95 is a high tech mobile which carry-on all those recognisable Nokia traits that any techno tortoise can follow. The graphics are delightful without going over the top, it reminds me of my first 3G phone. Yeah I do think the Nokia N95 is revolutionary... it is the next step towards 4G mobile phone media. The internal storage alone makes the N95 more capable of carrying digital data...

N95 Problems

Advantages: Good Features
Disadvantages: gets hang often

...Recently I had an upgrade from my provider, gave me a free N95 Silver, I was excited to use it initially, but after a month now, I am just satisfied. The features it has got are brilliant, but because of that the phone gets hang or stuck quiet often. I have two e.g.: First the other day when I was trying to call, phone got jam, according to me the call was not connected as it showed no signal strength and I couldn't turn of the phone either. I tried hard using the power button and after few struggle it went off. When I put my phone back on, I got a call from same number whom I was trying to call earlier and he confirmed he had received a call and he couldn't hear me. This means I was charged for my call. Secondly on another occasion, the phone was stuck again and when I restarted I received an incoming call but the person told me...
