Our Review of the Nokia N95
Dubbed "Nokia's crown jewel" by GSM Arena, the N95 is still in demand over a year after its release back in March 2007.
The Nokia N95 was arguably the phone of 2007. Despite being out-specced by some of the more powerful smartphones out there (LG's Viewty) and overshadowed by the hype of (Apple's iPhone), the N95 went on to shift thousands of units and become one of the most sought after handsets going. Described by GSM Arena as "Nokia's crown jewel" the N95 is still in demand over a year after its release back in March 2007.
Maybe it's the pin-sharp auto-focus enhanced 5 Megapixel camera, the DVD-like quality of the video capture (30 frames per second), the innovative dual slide design, or the integrated music and video player with dedicated media keys, or maybe it's all of the above. Even if that was all the N95 had to offer, the demand would still be understandable, but it doesn't stop there. As well as all of the top-end high powered features mentioned above, the N95 also boasts high speed internet access. Viewing web pages on the large 2.6" TFT display capable of pumping out 16 million colours is a treat, and gives the N95 the feel of a micro laptop, sans keyboard obviously.
The GPS mapping function, holding maps for 100 countries and 15 millions places of interest, means that the N95 doubles as an all in one sat-nav – plug the charger into the cigarette lighter and turn call barring on (we here at Mobile Phones encourage safe driving), and you have a fully functional interactive roadmap. It runs the latest version of the Nokia web browser with MiniMap, so you can view entire pages from a distance and zoom in to specific parts. Whilst basic satnav support is included as standard, for longer journeys you may want to opt for voice-assisted support, and unfortunately there is a charge for this.
Earlier we mentioned the dual slide design of the N95. The standard numerical keypad slides out from the bottom section of the phone, and operates in the same way as a standard keypad would, used for making calls, and accessing the main menu. Set up at the other end of the handset there is a separate slide-out section which holds four keys, Play/Pause, Stop, and Skip Forward/Back – these keys are dedicated multimedia keys, used exclusively for playing music and film and browsing.Set up at the other end of the handset there is a separate slide-out section which holds four dedicated multimedia keys – Play/Pause, Stop, and Skip Forward and Back – used exclusively for playing music and video.
The music player supports a number of formats (MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA) and you can use your favourite pair of headphones with the 3.5mm jack. The N95 has 160MB of internal memory and a microSD slot upgradeable to 2GB, so you have plenty of room to play with. As with previous Nokia N series phones, the music player has an equalizer, allowing audiophiles to achieve that sound, and a feature which automatically pauses tracks for any incoming calls, resuming play as soon as the call has finished. Music stored on the N95 can also be played on your TV via the TV-Out cable, or through Nokia's Music Stand speakerphone set – this is where the DVD-like quality of the video really becomes apparent.
The only real downside of the N95 is that all those nice high flying functions really eat into the battery – daily charges are an absolute must. The ingeniously integrated GPS system also charges you if you want to use anything other than the basic satnav service, such as voice assisted directions. This plus the battery drain are the only two real gripes we have with an otherwise perfect handset.
Pros
Stunning 5 Megapixel camera.
Incredibly quick net access.
Great MP3 player and media fucntions.
Cons
Some issues with battery life.

Moving up the mobile phone ladder!
Review by: janemdavies1256 from Wales, 1st April 2008
I have recently upgraded my sony erricson cyber shot with a nokia N95. Wow! phones are moving along so fast. This phone can give you everything in one package. Camera, mp3, web and walk, gaming to mention just a few of its capabilities. The only let down is that the battery life is short because of all its uses. Having said that if you can afford the 8gb version, then the battery is supposed to have been improved. Come on t- mobile get it on your book list....

Pros and cons
Review by: Vamone from Rickmansworth, 5th March 2008
I got this phone back in November 2007. If you are a Techie and love gadgets then this is the phone for you. I love gadgets but am not very tech orientated so consequently have struggled with all the features. So far I've not managed to work the radio or the GPS. My monthly bill seems to have gone up too. Guys seem to get on alot better with the phone. I'm regretting not going for something a bit simpler.
Battery life is better than expected but you have to remember to exit anything you were in otherwise this can drain the battery and remember you get charged if you spend too much time on the net. Camera is good and phone recharges from flat in less than 2 hours.

Don't Nok the N95!
Review by: Thomas from Salisbury, 3rd January 2008
Probably one of the best-looking and performing phones out there by anyone's estimation. The phone is deceptively light and even feels a bit flimsy, but as it's a Nokia, the N95 comes with that aura of indestructibility, comforting to know as I'll probably end up dropping this one just as often as the others.
I've never really been much of a fan of additional features and functions on phones such as cameras, music and net browsing etc, but I have to say the N95 is the first phone I?ve seen that takes decent quality pictures and can adequately handle browsing-both of which don't look at all bad on the big 3 inch screen.
The camera is nothing short of stunning. I've mostly found the internet useful for planning journeys-getting postcodes of destinations from a google search and then inputting the postcode into the satnav.
I've not really used the music player that much tho-I shan't be parting with my Creative Labs Zen player just yet.
I have to agree with everyone else here, the battery life, it has to be said, is pretty weak altho given the power required to handle all the features, its not surprising. Just have to get used to daily battery charges.

My Nokia N95
Review by: James_DB from Hampshire, 18th December 2007
This is by far the best phone I have ever had. Having upgraded from a Nokia N80 I really didn't have much to get used to, but this version is much better than my previous handset.
The camera is amazing and even works in dark clubs on nights out without a problem, the phone software never crashes and I can usually get a couple of days battery life out of it.
I haven't given it a good rating for battery life and that is because my only problem so far with this phone was when the battery started to die after 3/4 of a day. This quickly fixed itself so was not a major issue and only happened for a couple of days.
All in all a great phone, probably for the 'I don't want a BlackBerry' generation!
