Nokia N95 Smartphone Review

Article by Keith Smartphone

The Nokia N95 cell phone is well-known for its superior multi-media capabilities. Packed with versatile functionality, the flagship feature of the Nokia N95 is a 5-megapixel camera that delivers a high-quality picture, both for photos and videos. It features a Xenon flash, a two-step shutter, and auto-focus. To boot, it’s one of two cameras built into the phone, the other being a VGA camera on the front of the phone. The lens is even protected behind a cover that opens with the press of a switch.

With Carl Zeiss optics, the camera takes exceptional pictures – for a cell phone camera. Granted, you’re unlikely to win any photography awards with the pictures it takes, but for small print jobs and web publishing, it’s more than adequate.

The design of the Nokia N95 is sleek and compact, with a two-way slider concealing and revealing the numeric keypad. The contour of the keyboard is curved, making for more natural comfort in use. And the phone boasts a tactile controls rather than touch-sensitive buttons.

Being a Symbian smartphone, the Nokia N95 also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a GPS built-in. And with the standard Symbian interface, the Nokia N95 uses 3D icons and other animated geometric shapes to identify and activate its various features.

For the media controls, however, the Nokia N95 provides a separate, additional interface, this one more fluid and familiar to average PC-users. Though it takes several seconds to load, it is refreshingly convenient to navigate and control. The phone comes bundled with Adobe Acrobat PDF reader, QuickOffice (for creating, reading, and editing Excel spreadsheets and Word documents), and the new N-Gage system that delivers improved gaming performance.

The Nokia N95 allows users to not only view popular YouTube videos from their phone, but also gives them the option to listen to their music collection via the 3.5 mm headphone jack on the Nokia N95. The Nokia N95 supports all major audio file formats.

When looking at the most important features of a smartphone, the phone, the Nokia N95 is superb. The speaker is louder and clearer then most smart phones and even smart phone novices can easily pick up the voice dialing and conference calling quickly.

The Nokia N95 has several effective instant messaging options, and works well for basic IM functions. IMAP and POP3 email also work well, though many of the popular services are noticeably absent in the menu, such as Yahoo and MSN. The phone’s web browsing ability is excellent, with quick loading, fully-featured web pages.

The GPS, while initially slow to load and lock in on your location, is from there on solid, sharp, and impeccably accurate. Choose between a top-down 2D map or a full 3D one. Navigation, including voice directions, costs an extra subscription fee, but it’s worth it.Be aware, though, the Nokia N95 does not support U.S. 3G networks. The battery life is less-than-adequate when the phone is on standby. The hardware seems less sturdy than the phone’s price would suggest. The two-way slider mechanism, while innovative, could still be improved, made a bit more secure. Performance can also sometimes be sluggish.

Additionally, certain features like Push-to-Talk and Video Calling are only available to European buyers, as the North American version of the Nokia N95 is really an offshoot of the U.K. original. More a media tool than a business tool, the Nokia N95 smart phone will make media-oriented consumers very happy, and leave the business-oriented ones wanting.

Great Mobile, but poor battery and wrong charger., January 22, 2011

Alexandre Machado –

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Blackberry Curve 3G 9300 Unlocked GSM SmartPhone with 2 MP Camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth–International Version with No US Warranty (Graphite Grey) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I just loved the device. It’s really great. But I have to report some problems with the battery charger and battery itself. The battery charger is not for USA and it is not the same that come in the original box. They change it for a Britain plug. Another problem is the battery. It lasts only half day, even in lock position and without making calls or using wi-fi internet. The original and new one lasts 19 days of stand-by and up to 5.5h of talk time, as blackberry.com says. My battery just don’t works like a new one (and I don’t think it is).
I am very disappointed with these problems and feeling tricked.
Be careful
Ps.: Sorry about my poor english.
