Nokia N95 review: Nokia’s crown jewel
This is the our detailed test of Nokia N95, the best equipped phone on today’s mobile market. Nokia N95 is among first mobiles to have a built-in camera with a 5 megapixel resolution. Among its lures are also an integrated GPS module, HSDPA support, two-way sliding construction, and a very handy 3.5 mm jack connector for earphones.

I don't know why people said the software like MAPS, GPS Data, web.. doesn't work..
I use the web browser to surf even gsmarena before.. My Maps working fine, my GPS data even can show my speed when I am driving in my car....
What I think is probably people don't know how to use the phone. Don't even want to learn how to use and start complaining..

IF..you are complaining about N95 doesn't Have a capalibites to edit office Document..
You Wrong Dude...
Try to install and Use the OFFICESUITE for Symbian 3rd..
Feel the difference...even it cannot edit Powerpoints..but it can edit n also Produce Words Docs..Excel Docs...
Just Update the firmware...nah!!

i am not denying the phone capabilities, but do you think that its by far the best phone in the world?
I am saying that it’s not fare to call a phone the “best in the world “while there are others that are the same!!
And even if there is no competitors, do you think a phone like this raise to the title of the “best phone in the world” ??

Why is this review biased? They are pointing out the strong and weak points. Are you only giving credit to the weak points and ignoring the strong ones? Is that not being biased?
When I read some of the very harsh comments in this forum, I wonder whether some people can be objective.
This is a world-class phone. I think the statement "the best equipped phone in today's market" is indeed 100% accurate. Maybe it is not the best web-browsing device, or the best camera, or the best mp3 player... But it has all that, all very good.
Also, for people who complain about the gps functionality: it works perfectly! I live in San Francisco, and I use it as my every-day gps device in my car.

OMG, i never seen i bias review like this before, how can the writer declare this phone as the best in world after just mentioning some disadvantages that are very serious.
A phone that doesn’t edit office, no usb charging, battery life and most annoying thing from my point of view is the opening mechanism.
When paying such money for a phone like this, I thing it deserves to be good built and at least with decent accessories OEM.
I am still amazed from this review and how GSM people allow such bias. At least you could discard the disadvantages.

The N95 is brilliant except for one thing - the build quality of the slider. The slider mechanism came out of a cheap toy factory. For such an expensive handset this is unacceptable. Yes I want features but build quality is also a necessity for me and the N95 doesn't provide that. Such a shame as they have a potential winner on their hands.

Nokia N95 is advertised with perfect features like maps, GPS Navigator which everybody wants to have/access. No indication on the description and advertsiement says individuals have to buy the software by downloading. Clients only gets to know after the paid for downloads after signing a contract with the service provider.When a client queries or states concerns, needin assistance and support they get thrown from one place to the other without really getting any service of clarification till they give and live with what they are given and not what they want and need.Thats what Im experiencing currently.Nokia callcentre could not even tell me how much in rands the software is not how to get or buy it.Vodacom & Nokia also forget that its not everyone who has access to Internet as they tell clients to go to the internet for information and downloads. THE PHONE IS NOT USERE -FRIENDLY AND NOT EQUIPPED WITH NECESSARY FEATURES AS ADVERTISED.SOME OF THE FEAURES ICONS ARE SHOWN ON THE PHONE BUT THEY DON'T REALLY WORK, LIKE GPS DATA,WEB,MAPS,DOWNLOADS.If they happen to work in certain phones a simple connection takes too long and it finishes battery in no time. What i have discovered is that some of the phones are working fine but some instruments have problems and between Nokia and Service Providers no one wants to take the blame and solve the problem. A client is stuck witha 2-year contract and a phone that really doesnt serve any purpose.

The phone does not have what (features) we are led to believe it has. I bought a Nokia N95 mainly because I wasled to believe that it has a built in PS Navigator (Wayfinder) which works like a Garmin.I discovered that my phone could not connect to any satelite and has no access points. In a way, I actually paid a lot of money for nothing.I have called Nokia,Vodacom,Nashua with no luck. Im currently using this phone to call, calender, sms since the reson I bought it for is not served.

This phone is a world phone..so It will work in Lebanon and Bangladesh..because it caries all frequencies...Quadband...plus WCDMA..so it works even in Korea and Japan..
One thing I don't like about this phone is it's size..too bulky to put in your pant pocket ...

I Think this phone is Great!! trully Great..!!
Even its not equiped with QWERTY Keypad...., but it is needed so badly?
Just buy a Bluetooth keyboard instead..and you can have the feature of QWERTY keyboard when browsing the Internets thru this phone over a WiFI Connection..
Some peaople who bragging about low Battery life..! Why dont you prepare to buy a spare battery, right?!
The Camera function is Great..even its flash doesnt good as K800i.
I'm not to care about the size of its Megapixels... coz in 3 Megapixel Resolution, it can produce great Macro Shots and Hi Quality Images...Why Bother with the Megapixels Res...
and Why do The people often campare it to SE K800i?
Its far more better N95 than K800i...Except the Flash part..
I Owns Both of Them...I prefer taking the picture in daylight using N95..then in The Night time i'm using K800i...
but when its come the Internet feature ..N95 owns all..

I'm having a lot of problems with phone stability which is making the whole usage experience very poor. I see from the comments that my problem might be due to firmware version. Can someone please advise about how to know which firmware version I have & which is the latest one? Thanks
