Nokia N95 Unlocked Cell Phone with 5 MP Camera, International 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--International Version with Warranty (Silver/Plum)

First of all The N95 is an excellent Phone!! The antenna is Great! Signal strength is excellent (the best I have seen) Battery life is ok, power users may need a spare BL-5F (which can be easily carried around in a wallet). Other great features with the v21 firmware include: 0) The 5MP camera provides excellent pictures vis-a-vis phone cameras. Wont be embarrassed when you share your pics with your colleagues, they may never know it was taken with a phone cam :D. 1) Native youtube support using the web browser 2) GPS / Maps applications like Google maps, Nokia sport tracker (which tracks your speed/ altitude/ location in real time while bicycling, and the map can be dumped in Google Earth) 3) The stereo speakers are excellent and have great clarity and nice volume. 4) The screen can be set to be very bright. 5) 8GB microsd card can be used :D 6) Great bluetooth support! almost all protocols possible 7) Good for reading e-mails etc. supports push IMAP mails 8) Can be used as a wireless bluetooth webcam :-) 9) Compatible with almost any wired headphones / ear plugs 10) NGAGE games are very nice and engaging :D 11) Can be connected to a TV to playback video / slide show 12) Can be used as a radio tuner :) 13) Can change orientation landscape to portrait etc with rotateme application or by sliding in opposite direction 14) T9 input is fast! especially when driving / using one hand. 15) Light weight and compact package 16) The 5MPixel lens is protected by a shutter The bads 1) WiFi is ok. It is incompatible with Cisco Access Points :(( 2) The user interface is not eye-candy type and has a reasonable learning curve. 3) Wired headset picks up a lot of noise 4) Many applications are power hungry like GPS, Camera, Video, Youtube vide, streaming video, Battery life is marginal with very heavy use of these features. 4) The TV out resolution is low! Things appear slightly pixelated

Ok, here's the deal: The phone, overall, is the best in the cell phone market so far. I had the Sony Ericcson P990i and it was absolutly great, but the N95 really exceeded all my expectations. The interface is really fast, it comes with all the gadgets you need if you are a obsesive compulsive worker who never really gets the office out of mind like me. The camera is so great I put the digital one I had away and now I take all my pics and videos with the phone. The desing, OMG!!! It is so so sleek, so elegant, your friends and co-workers will turn their heads around with envy, I can assure you that. It's operating system is very friendly and complete, helping and guiding you all the way when you first use the phone. IM has never been so fun and fast and as always. The screen is very bright and large and you can see in the most defiant sun light who's calling. If your hesitating, please dont, go, buy the phone, my final word is: YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!! IS MONEY WELL SPENT!!!

Just impressive. This phone will provide everything you need and more. I've been using it to record my golf practice and the video quality is excelent!! Used the camera on night events and the flash will a good job..calendar, alarm settings, Office documents, movie device and music jukebox...just have in mind that if you use a heavily your multimedia options(video specially) the battery will only last for a day if not it will last for 2 days...wich was pretty much the same as my old Nokia e50. Yeah...the iPhone surely looks nice, but you don't have all the stuff that comes with this one. It's a must for every user thats wants to have it all in one device.

I had high expectations of this phone because it had so many features and Nokia is renown for it's usability. But after a few weeks of persistance I am frustrated, dissappointed and am going to sell it. Until now I had a low end Nokia phone and separate ipod, camera, & GPS. My old phone could make calls & txt and the battery lasted over a week. The battery on the N95 does not last very long - especially if you are using WiFi. I find I have to charge it most days. I had to buy an extra charger for work and for the car. I text regularly - but find I've got to do more key presses to initiate a text than I did on my old phone - only a small point but slightly annoying. The GPS is fustrating - it's nice that you can get maps from anywhere in the world - but you do have to remeber to download them via the wifi before you go anywhere because here in NZ the network charges are to high ($10/MB from Vodafone!!!) to use the 3G network. I tried getting it to navigate to a couple of addresses - but it didn't find them. My Garmin Nuvi is so much better and easier to use. I couldn't see myself using this GPS unless I was lost and desperate. I downloaded the sports tracker application - but in the 3 runs I've been on it's never managed to find the satellites. I did get it working when I went on a boat. It's nice having a good camera in your pocket - I know I'm being picky but it's slower than my little Cannon IXUS and I miss the zoom. I also find that the camera shutter often opens in my pocket. The MP3 player is OK. I was eventually able to copy a selection of my music onto the phone. I had trouble making playlists on my PC - but did work out how to make them on the phone. I downloaded a podcasting application (I mainly listen to podcasts on my ipod). I was dissappointed I couldn't download the podcasts to my PC then sync them with the phone like I can with my iPod. This meant I had to download them using the wifi networks at home or work (which chewed through the battery) and I had to manually get them to update - I couldn't get it to automatically update from one of two networks. I tried video calling with my wife once and it didn't work - I don't know why and couldn't be bothered trying to troubleshoot. The browser was OK. I found it useful to access the web remotely in some cases - but it is painful to type in URLs. I couldn't access my web based exchange email - they URL just didn't open - no explanation. I was surprised there wasn't inbuilt support for email through exchange - you could buy something but I never got round to that. It did sync with my address book and contacts on exchange which was great - however I couldn't work out how to change the volume of the alarms that happened to remind me that I had an appointment. The final straw was a memory problem. If I try to open my contacts or send a text message I get an error saying that the memor is full and I need to close some applications - even though I have no applications open. This has made the phone all but unusable. From what I've read on the web it looks like this is a known memory problem that Nokia are working on but I'm not patient enough for them to fix it or to spend any more time trying to find a work around (I've already upgraded the firmware - which didn't work and is more than your average users should have to do).
