Nokia N95 Mobile Phone

Likes - Slim, ease of use, good screen size, lightweight
Dislikes - Crashed once so far, and ... not found another one yet!

Like most people, i waited and waited eagerly for the new Nokia N95. Then on Tuesday morning i received mine. I ripped of the packaging and there it was. A brand new, the eagerly awaited Nokia N95.
Opening the box, the phone sits in a plastic case (nice touch) in all it's glory. Out with the phone, in with the battery and sim card and plugged it in with the neat little Nokia charger.
Flicking briefly thru the many manuals you receive with the phone, you can just tell this phone is going to give you hours upon hours of fun and enjoyment, as well as phone calls of course.
Ok, battery fully charged, time to switch on. As with most Nokia's your greeted with the joining of hands, however this time the clarity is amazing on its larger screen.
Opening the effertless two way slider downwards, gives you the numeric keypad like previous slide phones, however, sliding it upwards opens the gallery and presents you with play, pause, forward and rewind buttons, nice neat touch that.
Time to go and investigate what is on the phone. Well, the first item i wanted to try was the Sat Nav. One the screen you are presented with a map of the world as the phone tries to work out where you are. It takes on average a minute to find at least 3 sattelites to pin point your position. The world then moved slighty and then started to zoom in. Europe, United Kingdom, Scotland, Edinburgh, then within seconds it was at street level showing me exactly where i am. And i mean exactly, it even told me my house number!
What i would advise you to do is invest in a decent Micro SD card, so you can download maps on to it, as the way i have just described, you are actually downloading a massive amount of data, therefore costing lots of pennies.
What now i thought to myself, as i wandered thru the rest of the menus, you just know that this is a good phone, there is no pausing switching between menus, the keypad is precise, and the screen lets you read everything with the clarity you would expect on a TFT monitor!
Turning the phone round you see the cover for the camera, now it's time for some serious fun, opening the slider presents you with a 5 million pixel camera. As with my previous phone, the N80, you use the phone in landscape mode just like a proper camera. Moving round my living room, the screen was managing to keep up with every move i made, auto focusing when neccessary. Unfortunately, there is no optical zoom, just 20x digital zoom, so there is a slight loss in quality the further you zoom. With the pressing of a couple of buttons your into video mode. Once again it was able to keep up with most of my movements around the room. At this time i noticed, still sitting in the box was another cable, with yellow, red and white ends and a jack plug on the other, quick plug in to the phone and into the tv, i had myself the ultimate show of gadget. By this time the kids were up and jumping and dancing whilst watching themselves on the TV. Time to sell the digital camera and camcorder now, can't say i'll use them again!
The phone also comes with a host of other smart features which i would love to go into more detail with, but i'm going to run of space, so i covered the main items that you want to know about, and if you are, like me, after a phone with lots of other gadgets and useful toys, this year's smart buy is the new Nokia N95.

Gotta be the best Nokia to date - camera absolutely brilliant, music and pictures are crystal clear and with so many extras it's still so easy to use.
Accessories are plentiful, including chargers, in car chargers, headsets, changable covers, zoom lenses for camera, tv leads and PC disc and leads, so you can use this camera/video for everything and still share it with others.
Definitely a recommended product without a doubt :-)

I like everything about this phone. I take it everywhere and it serves all my needs. phonecalls, texts, wifi, bluetooth, good quality pics and videos, sat nav, office, it has it all. This phone may not be a new model, but its certainly up there with the best.

I love this phone - it is so good to hold and nice to use. It is great qaulity - not plastic poor feel to it. I can use it as a complete PDA as well as a phone, web browser, music player and photo album. It has full software support, back up and it links up to my Microsoft Outlook and synchronises all the appointments, notes and to do lists. I can take it to the supermarket holding my shopping list - it is absolutely complete and so easy to use. The 5 megapixel camera is excellant and the 8 gb on board memory holds everything and when it becomes a bit full, you don't have to trash a thing, you just load it onto the computer. I really love it - I would not have anything else and when it dies i will want the same again at the very least and any other option is out of the question. I would buy this phone again if I had to sing in the subway to afford it - (but I would be paid to shut up)!

I love this product. The phone came the next day and i was excited to open. It gave me everything that i wanted a great camera, could play my musci and a easy phone to use.

Great phone, excellent specification & does everything, MP3 player, camera & email

Size.

This phone is fantastic. I only wish they made larger than 8GB memory cards but heyho im sure that will be here soon. The whole look, feel, style, weight & performance of the N95 is superb. With so much software on it you'll spend ages being surprised at how much it can do. I'm still finding things after a few weeks. It's the best phone i've had..and i've had a few good ones.
If your thinking about getting one, do not hesitate, you won't be disappointed.
5 tars all round.

Great memory,nice phone although somewhat complicated in operation...battery life is poor...software supplied is not that user friendly ..think the total operational use, comes only with time and a lot of studying of the user manual..camera is good and nice pictures obtained with the minimum of fuss..

Bought it for my partner who is a bit baffled by the amount of functions its has. Alot to learn with this phone but it's all good!!! The only think that is not liked is that it is a bit bulky to normal phones.

This is a good mobile phone packed with gadgets however after using it for a few days extensively it slows down. This is due to too much data and often crashes hence a improvement could be a faster mobile phone. Overall its good.

It is good phone. But you can look at this:

You must charge battery every 2 days.
This phone can have rattling earpiece.
Volume button on the side can be bad. (microswitch can be missing).
Etc.

Sturdy phone with a wide range of eatures and excellent amera. It is not as straightforward as the nokia slide I had before , - it doestake a little while to discover all the features and shortcuts. A high quality phone, loads easily to a computer. I would recommend this phone so long as you are at least a little technically minded

excellent ebayer would deal with again phone came next day and gave me great advice that helped me with my product. many thanks

bought phonefor husband and he likes it. the phone was exactly what he wanted. the nokia n95 has camera facilities, bluetooth and all the usual gadgets of an up to date phone. Very pleased with the product and would buy another.

Cancelled transanction. because i had not completed paypal registration. Now that i ahve i will definately go back and buy this phone

It's one of the best nokia phones at the time being with great camera and route planner + resonable battery life. the only other phone I like after this one would be the I-phone but that is very expensive at the moment + the line rental/tarif is very deer (around £30 a month x 12 month ) .

great phone good memory and an excellent allround phone i would recomend this phone to any one Really glad that i bought this phone great seller with good communication

Excellent phone bought for the gps and 5mp camera. Bad point the battery only last for one day if you play with it alot the phone might last 2 days on standby you might want to wait for the n96

i love the way it has an easy user interface, MP3, 5 mp camera no need for digital camera to be taken with me when i go on holiday., unlike the nokia N95 8Gb you can add memory to this phone so you have more space for your pictures adn music. It has the sat nav (if only i knew how to use it) so far i still have to take my navman with me but when i get it sussed i shall not be taking it anywhere as i will have no use for it. what else can i say if you like the nokia range of phones and hate carrying evrything around with you (i.e camera, sat nav) then this is the one and only device you will ever need. \\(**)//

Ideal phone for work & normal life. The phone itself isstrong, when dropped it was found that unlike the old phones i have purchased in the past, it did not take a degree in electronics to put it back together.

love its an all in one device and the gps with tomtom is veryhandy

dislike too thick, poor battery, and deletes in the music drectories doesnt not delete oh and theres no micro sd, and its a littleslow at taking pictures

i purchased this because it looked good value for money but the saying was correct if it looks to good to be true ,you know your about to be conned i was no phone arrived and it took me months of emails to get my money back from pay pal ebays sister company i wont be buying any thing again unless its a power seller
