Nokia N95 Review

N95Nokia N95 aims to be in the league of the latest cell phones that are all-in-one devices- cell phone,camera, music player and computer. With multiple connections options like Wi-Fi and 3.5G (HSPDA), this phone also ensure that Internet is always accessible. This phone also comes with a GPS which will allow you to find your way around.

The phone cover slides smoothly and the keypad is huge with its buttons providing good feedback. The screen is bright, making reading and scrolling through the menu easy on the eyes.

The phone’s media playing capabilities with Bluetooth A2DP was clear and crisp when used with the Jabra BT620s headset. It also comes with a 3.5mm stereo jack, using normal stereo earphones is no problem here. If you like, you can also hook it up to a TV via the Video Connectivity Cable so that you can watch videos or do presentations.

There are certain smart features here. To watch videos, just pull down the sliding cover beyond the keypad and the screen automatically switches to landscape mode. 4 buttons appear under the cover to be used for accessing multimedia files. When you silde the phone’s cover to its “closed” position, the phone automatically switches to the portrait mode.

The high price tag is mainly due to the GPS function. Using the NAV-Fone Pro software, the GPS showed my position accurately but it certainly took some time to lock its GPS location. Something I believe will vary depending on your location.

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 and standby battery life is poor. 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. If you are one at the cutting edge of technology, this is the handphone  you would appreciate and pay for.
