    Nokia N95

    Frazier Barretto, Jun 11, 2007 2017 hrs IST

    How much would you pay for a PC in your pocket? Given, it has everything you need in a computer, yet not quite everything.

    Carl Zeiss 5 MP lens, Autofocus with flash, 2GB microSD, A2DP Bluetooth v2.0, WiFi, Light Weight, 3G.

    Plastic Body, Slow, Lots of Image Processing, Poor Battery Life, Slightly Cramped Outer Keys.

Expert Review

"Is this what computers have become?" they say in their promotion for the Nokia N95, which seems to have the muscle to power you with a PC in your pocket. The first of the N series phones to be released this year, N95 has had its share of popularity pre and post release. Let's find out whether it really has what it claims to have.



Bundle

The N95 has a very standard package. I'd like to point out at the earphones packaged, they are nothing what one would expect when paying the price one has to for a multi-feature screaming like this.



Nokia N95 (handset)

Stereo Headset with Playback controls (with 3.5mm jack on the volume control)

2GB microSD (with SD Card Adaptor)

USB Cable

Composite Cable

Charger

Manual & Software CD

,mumbai, on Jun 11, 2007 10:14 PM
the latest of the series. Symbian phones have always been slow and inspite of the 200 MHz processor, they haven't become any faster CORRECTION TECHTREE. N95 COMES WITH A 330MHZ PROCESSOR. THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS FREE RAM WHICH YOU?LL DON?T CARE TO MENTION N95 has a 3G camera to the right of the earpiece, just above the screen. Next to the camera is a small LED for flash NO DIMWITS IT?S THE AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR THAT MEASURES THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT AND SWITCHES ON AND OFF THE KEYPAD. YOU?LL HAVE REVIEWED PHONES SINCE THE 6630. STILL YOU?LL HAVE NO IDEA The N95 has a 5 MP camera, which is the highest resolution available in a phone. WRONG: KOREAN PHONES HAVE COME WITH RESOLUTIONS OF 7 AND 10 MEGAPIXELS For now, it's just a phone that's out of reach or better put, it doesn't really make sense owning one with given conditions. RANDOM STATEMENT. WHAT GIVEN CONDITIONS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE MAY I KNOW??? VERY BAD REVIEW TECHTREE..THE WORST IVE SEEN IN A WHILE. ESPECIALLY WITH THE HYPE SURROUNDING THE N95 YOU?LL SHOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB. PRETTY PATHETIC. SORRY BUT IT?S A FACT!

Who So ever is the reviewer of the Phone has no sence of Photographic sence. Moreover His review is fine but I found it Bit to negative. The data is wrong. The information is wrong. I am using O2 & my brother has N95. I exchanged my phone for 1 month & I rate N95 Much above that. Please dont mislead public

One of the main reasons for so much of ooh aah before the launch of N95 was because it has a built in GPS module. Come on guys, you should have reviewed the GPS system also. Your review is incomplete...

This is shit ... wht are these fella's at TT doing ... marketing this thing or what.... This phone sucks, truly sucks... I mean just tell me ( anyone is free to reply ) that wht this phone has beside iPhone, ( I knw bout 3G, and 3 MP's extra ) ... iPhone from Apple is a truly Entertainment device, [ I m not marketing Apple, but just this... that N95 is suppose to be Nokia's answer to iPhone, so I need to bring it up ] ... iPhone [primitive model 500 $ ] is 3 to 4 times thinner than this, has 4 Gb of internal memory, and has OS X, Accelerometer, CoverFlow etc. etc. It's fast [Intell Processor], has Safari, Yahoo iMAP, Google Maps [ N95 also has that], but most amazingly it's touchscreen with Apple themselves wanting you to use your fingers [Stylus Free operating ], Apple iPhone has everything one could ask for, and at a modest 500$, it's the best thing that ever hit the mobile Arena. I think Nokia just ws too scared, so they launched this thing in despration, it's expensive, hell expensive, nd it's slow, damn slow, Now since these guys are promoting it as a computer, I think they mean .... computers of 70's or 80's ...... cause it works exactly at those speeds.

THEN COMMENT I M NOT BIASED WITH NOKIA. BCOZ I M USING CELLPHONES FROM SONY MOTO.. ETC BUT N95.? U CANNOT COMPARE ANY OTHER CELLPHONE TO IT... NOTHING. IT HAVE 5MP CAMERA.. HAVE GPS. ALL CONNECTIVITY IS THERE. IR, BLUETOOTH, WIFI, EDGE, 3G, 3.5G, (YES U CAN CHECK SPECIFICATION) THE ONLY THING IT DOESNT HAVE IS TOUCH SCREEN. AND THE LONG LIVING SYMBIAN.. I WISH THEY MAKE IT TOUCH SCREEN PHONE WITH UIQ SOFTWARE.. REAMAINING EVERYTHIN IS PERFECT

The camera auto focus is much like those seen in any other phones with the same. The irritating part was the sound that it made while focusing. It felt like the lens snapped very time it focused, I guess it's a build issue.......................................... what an idiot reviewed this phone , dont you even know how auto focus features works ( go get your facts right dude ) ps you should completely stop reviewing mobile phones atleast

After writing so much crap abt the n95, can anyone name ONE phone which stands to the n95 (in features + the performance) in the same price range. Accept the fact, its the only phone available today at 28k INR, that gives almost all the latest tech a phone can offer, at a v reasonable battery life. Build quality sure is an issue, but its nokia slider after all.. have to comprimise a lil. All in all, its an awesome toy to play with.

Hi Frazier, >>, but at the actual size of 2592 x 1944 pixels you cannot help but notice that they're not that great. At such high resolutions, any image would look like that. Try to do a "fit screen" on the computer, and it should look good. Or downsize it to 1024 x 768, and it would be just good. The same happens with my N70.

There's nothing bad with the review! its really good. It would take time for any user to use it for a while and provide a review. Others should thank the reviewer that he has put up the information for you in such a short period of time just to save you some money incase if you wanna buy it and want to compare features.
