Nokia N95 review: Nokia’s crown jewel

01 May 2007
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.

and for nat, i do agree with you that n80 and n73 is a bit slow and hangs sometime.. cause i used them before. but currently i just changed to n95, it is much faster and 9.5/10 wont hang cause it's a 3.5G phone. just a highlight for this phone "it wont hang that much like n80 or n73" it's like 2-3sec faster then those two phone. nokia have a bit of improvement on n95 for the lag and hanging thing. and once again, nothing is perfect. each phone have their step back. you cant have a prefect phone.
and also n95's size has all in one fuction and nokia manage to make this phone much faster then n73. less lag and hang. so why do we have to complain so much for?
honestly this phone have some bad points, example "for video recording, we cant on the flash but the quailty is good on daylight and i also agree battery life is damn little but you can buy a spare battery.." just bare this in mind nothing is perfect.

    recently got n95,second one thou,had to exchange first one due to
    it crashing,after this mishap im still happy with my choice.working in the mobile industry we get alot of phones in for repair.we get k800i by the bucketloads for software problems and k800's just going dead.

    the n95 is the market leader at the moment,until sony can catch up with a similiar or better model,k800i outdated and needs a revamp.

      for someone who says k800i is better:
      so you prefer a phone with a good flash only? :/
      And if nokia n95 with Carl Zeiss optics is not up to standard.
      then sony digi camera with Carl Zeiss optics is not up to standard too. and k800i without Carl Zeiss optics will more more more not up to standard as well:/ right? does it make sense?
      dont tell me sony digi camera is more lousier then sony with a "ericsson" behide. am i right? think about it..
      as for battery life. you've got the money to buy this phone, dont tell me you dont have the money to buy a spare battery eh? :/

          The picture quality is very poor, due to sharpening and noise reduction. The jpeg compression makes it even worse.

            To the guy who slated my post.

            Grow up, i actually work in a phone store. The K800i has a lot better flash and even the people who work with me prefer it. Try to write properly next time too, it took me a while to understand your wacky language.

            The N95 would be a brill phone if it didnt crash all the time, have a horrible battery and produce photos that are dark and not up to standard.

            The video isnt that good on the K800 i admit but i never mentioned that first.

            You are obvioulsy some spoilt brat who has stuck to his guns on Nokia and cant accept that they are no longer the best.

            If youre still in disagreement ill fight you to the death for it.

            Name the place, name the time and ill be there.

            Matt...

              People who do not like it change it for a Sony Walkman phone so you can annoy people on the street with your nigga songs.

                Once again Nokia manages to impress. I am getting rid of my Nokia N93i for this beauty. Still keeping my W850i though:-)

                  its nice nokia is leading the market with new inivations once again but, will nokia ever make a phone that doesnt hang? ive had over 20 nokia phones and their earlier models with the black and white screens were good. when they started with all these functions and what nots the phones got worst and worst. dont get me wrong the design and the general ideas they have for their phones are very good but, having a phone that actually works well without having to restart or pulling out the battery everyday cause of the phone hanging is a lot more important. my last experience with nokia that i actually bought was the n80. a phone that had wifi 3.+ mega pixel camera and other bells and whistles that was just pure garbage! no i didnt have a bad unit cause 3 of my other friends had the same phone that would always hang. another model that had that same problem was the n73. my phone was purchased for an authorized nokia dealer and i took my phone 2 times to the service center for software upgrades that just didnt work. i think they should concentrate more in improving the way their phones work instead of releasing new models every so often that in reality are not improvements of their old units. since then ive switched to sony ericsson. i currently own a p990, k610, and a z520. the p990 still has a few problems but nothing as bad as my experiences with nokia but the z520 and the k610 have never ever had to be restarted nor have they ever hung. nokia should come out with reliable devices if they want to keep their customer loyalty. they already lost one.

                    and and E61 download speed for 1mb is like 1min plus, n95 takes only less then 10sec using thesame connection.. k800i worst. no wifi -.- you can imagine. awww.
                    you love sony, go back to your sony page la.
                    k800i, micro is sucks la. i cant even get then words clearly.
                    n95, the camera is as smooth as a camera.. and video recording is good as well. just that some noobs come and say their own coments to spoil other people's thinking about this phone.
                    gsm wont say this phone deserve best of all if it's that worst like you said. dont know why some people dont think before they talk. zzz

                              when viewed in pics the n95 doesn't seem to be all that great when I personally saw it I was breathless! Its really superb!

                                  I seriously doubt it will be a success.. nokia N93 has a very poor battery .. what else can be a drawback . .my nokia n93's battery last one and half day ..if i switch the 3g on ... think aobut GPS then in Nokia n95 even when its battery is weaker than N93.

                                    Working for a mobile company i can firmly say that the N95 isnt all its cracked up to be. The battery is very poor, the software has a lot of bugs and the camera is not really that good. the sony ericsson k800i has a lot better flash and has a better auto focus. stick with sony ericsson, they dont break as much, the batterys are brilliant and the cameras are untouchable. Nokia have sunk so low recently. Everyone i have sold one too comes back saying they prefered their k800i.

                                    Dont buy one

                                        funny how the N95 package that you guys had didn't come with a memory card.. when i bought mine it came with a 1GB card and a Nokia leather case. Weird how this world works.
