Nokia N95

Advantages: large screen
Disadvantages: none

...It took ages to boot up. By the time it was ready for use it had been at least a 3 minutes. At first i thought "it's broken already?" as it seemed to be stuck on the white nokia logo screen. It did eventually spring into life and a nice welcome screen asking me about tutorials and would i like to watch some video of how to operate then handset. I noticed at this point that the light omitted from the screen was visable through the side of the handset, the screen it self is sandwiched between an upper and lower plate of plastic, the gap between them both was where the light was escaping. This to me looked terrible and further added to my disappointment of the N95, cheap and tacky build quality which for the price of handset is really unacceptable. The screen itself is really nice, it's clear, has plenty of colour range and is nice...

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...

Nokia N95

Advantages: Feature rich, 3G phone, available on all networks.
Disadvantages: Battery life, Size

...onto the Satellites. Navigating by foot is catered for too! Something that other CPS devices omit. Battery life is appreciably shorter than other phones I have owned but with normal use is acceptable. I would not be without this phone and would recommend it if it is still available. There is a new edition of this phone, N95-8Gb if you can no no longer get the N95....

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...

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 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...

Review of Nokia N95

Nokia N95

Advantages: Lots of impressive functions
Disadvantages: Unreliable keypad and occasional software freezing

...I've now owned this phone for 10 months and have got on with it very well. I enjoy the simplicity of the Nokia menus and the standard, almost cartoonish, graphics. There are some great features like the 5 mega pixel camera - the photo quality is as good as my very expensive 5 mega pixel digital camera and the movie caption mode is also very good for making short vedios. I bought a seperate 2 GB memory card and after 10 months I'm struggling to make an impact on such a massive memory base. The music storage is useful however I've found it difficult to upload my own music onto the phone and play in back - the tracks seem to get lost in the confusing filing system. One of the key features that attacted me to the phone was the Sat Nav function. I think that it was provided for free for the first 3 months by my service provider, however...
