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.

Agree with Sean. Version 11.0.026 really makes a big difference with previous firmwares in overall stability and picture quality.
This device is something trully unique. Without being as powerful as a stand-alone GPS, camera or mp3-player, it really is a great overall replacement for all of them. The more familiar you are with the way the phone works, the better you know how to optimize its performance.

For all persons complaining about the phone hangins and other problems please qoute the firmware version of the phone as this directly affects performance.
Phones with the latest firmware (mine) are considerably more stable than those with the older firmware

I just don`t understand all the buzz around the N95. It surely is a feature rich phone, but why the hell they don`t equip it with areasonable qwerty keyboard. Using all the features without qwerty is just a pain. I would love to merge the features of the N95 with the hardware of the double slider Samsung SGH-F520. THEN we would have a GREAT phone...
Shame on Samsung, that they are not equipping that phone with WLAN...

had mine since may 10th its the BEST phone ever... i am impressed by in call time.. 5 hours!!! 10 hours for music 5 hours for video. those are average for EACH device of it kind. i just wish it was a bit better it could handle those numbers + 24 hrs of standby so i would not have to charge before going to sleep.

at this time n95 needs a lot of improvement - battery life, ic connection, always hanging. it is expensive yet it is not as useful as in the advertisement. nokia company action now before its too late. i bought my n95 only last may 15 and now it is in the repair shop. since i bought it i thought it is a very nice fone but i was mistaken in my decision to buy this n95. hurry nokia company do your best to make this series the best among the best.

I got the N95 and although it sure is great the incredibly poor battery life is surely a major flaw.Battery duration is so far removed from Nokia's spec that you have to question whether this phone is fit for purpose and that Nokia have duped us.Come on Nokia give us a more powerful battery and fire the dopes who were responsible for the battery fiasco.The N95 is supposed to be a premier product but is akin to buying a top of the range BMW and later finding it only had a 1 gallon capacity fuel tank!

This fone made nokia regain my trust again. I had bad experience with my n80. Then i disposed it. I bought n95 somewhat hesitant. But in the end I had had no regrets exchanging my k810 and p990 for this one. Whala! Good job nokia. I had 2 batteries for this monster. Stop the moaning.

First off, I work for o2... and I don't find them anything special, reasons being:
1, Why buy a 5meg camera phone? Buy a digital camera! Megapixels isn't everything in a photo/camera - it's image quality, lens apature etc... Take a VGA photo on a N95 as well as a 5MP picture and look at them both - the same? Print them off postcard size - the same?
2, Its a brick.
3, Symbian - 'nuff said
4, Pricey! Not only the handset but Sat Nav requires subscription with Nokia, yeah o2 provide the maps but thats all, not the navigation package.
Blah, not having one, K810 takes trumps for me =D

I've got this phone cos I only have the best of everything. I've had a 10gig memory card imported from Japan cos I have the worlds biggest music collection. The only problem is it's a bit heavy so when it's in my trouser (prada) pocket it makes me limp.

had it a month now and im still very pleased, as well all know battery life is not very good, however ive no issues at all with anything. Like a lot of people here i work for a large phone company and so see 1st hand how phones work on a larger scale (i.e if they are always coming back with issues etc). Seeing how the n73, n80 were recieved made me doubt the n95, based almost entirely on the software.
However we have had very few returned and demand is still high (although bolstered by price haha), over all the phone has been brilliant so far and i love it

Dear GSMarena,
In your review of N95, under 5 heading i.e Telephone, ringtones etc, u have mentioned, that when a N95 receives a call, one can see the name, thumbnail and number ? can you please explain how can one see the number, i have been trying to get that, but not possible.
Kindly revert back if you can,
Regards,
