    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.

Design

The N95 has a unique design. It's essentially a slider, but what makes it unique is its ability to slide up to reveal playback controls, as well as slide down that gives you a neat widescreen display.



The phone is one of the lightest N series phones that I have come across. It weighs 120 grams, for its size that is quite okay. The dimensions are 99 x 53 x 21 mm. The phone weight is minimal because of its plastic build; add to that the neat distribution of weight throughout the phone. It's comfortable to hold in your hand and not slip off.

Layout

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. The 16 million color-TFT screen of this phone is simply awesome with a size 40 x 53 mm and 240 x 320 pixels resolution support.


Below the screen is the menu key cluster: Two menu keys, a Main Menu key, 5-way D-pad, Shortcut key, two keys one each to answer and hang-up calls, Clipboard key and a Clear key form the cluster. The Clipboard key and the Clear keys are placed on a thin strip of metal and do pose accessibility problems. There were a lot of times when I meant to hit the clear key but ended up closing the application because the placement of the hang-up key being adjacent to it. The 5-way D-pad is easy to use and so are the other keys in the cluster.


Slide the phone upwards and the keypad is revealed. The keys here have a neat blue backlighting and are comfortable to use. The backlight starts to work automatically according to the light conditions you are working in.

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!

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.

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.
