As I mentioned earlier, sliding the screen down changes the orientation of the screen giving you a widescreen effect, followed by the shortcut menu to appear. You can edit or add more shortcuts to this menu from a predefined list. The playback controls are above the screen when the slider is pulled down or on the left of the screen when in its widescreen orientation. This unique sliding feature of the N95 can have its drawbacks. For example, it was quite irritating to keep sliding the phone up/down while surfing because while doing that you do need to do quite a bit of typing. Plus the plastic build of the phone creates a slight creaky noise when the slider is pushed up.

On the top left side of the phone is the left speaker of the phone and just below it is the 3.5mm stereo jack. You can either directly attach your headphones or the provided headset to it. The stereo jack also supports a composite cable via a 3.5mm pin. This way you can move the display to an external device and enjoy it on a bigger screen. In the center, on the left side of the phone is the IR port of the phone. Towards the end of the left side is the microSD card slot with a sturdy dust cover.

On the top right side of the phone is the other speaker. The speakers are loud and give a nice stereo sound effect. Just below it are the volume control keys of the phone that double as a zoom in/out buttons when in camera mode. Towards the bottom of the phone are two hotkeys: one, a hotkey to Gallery and the other is the Camera button. The camera button starts the camera application only if the camera lens shutter is open. The placement of the camera button falls in the area where one would ideally grip the phone. This way when you tend to hold the phone a bit firmly, the camera application keeps trying to open. If the keypad is locked, then it keeps displaying the message to unlock keypad.

The back of the phone has about 30% of the portion taken up by the camera. The lens has a neat manual shutter to protect it from dust. Also, there is a large single LED for flash. The rest of the 70% of the phone's rear is plain, covering the battery compartment.

On top center of the phone lies the power button which also doubles as the profile selector. At the bottom left of the phone is the charging port. In the center there is a miniUSB port for transfer and PC sync. The mouthpiece of the phone is placed to its right.
