Review of Nokia N95 8GB

Marketed as “the most technologically advanced smartphone ever”, the Nokia N95 8GB boasts a range of astonishing and useful features, including GPS satellite navigation, a 5 megapixel camera complete with autofocus, 3G video calling and much more. There has however been debate within the mobile phone industry as to whether it can live up to the hype. 

Look and Design
As is usual for phones containing so much advanced technology, the Nokia N95 is noticeably larger than most other phones on the market today. Despite boasting a sliding cover design, the phone weighs 120g and is more bulky than an average mobile phone. Yet despite the larger handset, the buttons on the phone are concealed beneath the slide cover and offer a useful alternative to the more visible navigation system (although the slide cover includes a 5-way menu button which can be used when the phone is closed). However, the manufacturers have designed the phone in a range of colours (silver, black and red) for a more attractive look.

Review of Nokia N95 8GB Continued....

Functions
Although the appearance and design of this phone may not see it win any awards for the look, it boasts some of the most advanced and wide-ranging functions in the ‘smartphone’ genre, with the groundbreaking 5 pixel phone camera (the first to hit the UK mobile market). This number of pixels will match the capabilities of a digital camera, and the phone’s camera functions are furthered by the fact that it includes two cameras, one on the back of the phone for pictures and a front-facing camera for video calls. Another impressive innovation that the Nokia N95 includes is the GPS satellite navigation, which, although not yet on a par with a stand-alone system such as a TomTom, is still a practical and useful asset to this multi-purpose phone. The phone also possesses all of the functions which have become popular in the mobile phone industry – an MP3 player, an integrated hands-free speaker and so on.

Usability
Despite the reports of bugs and crashes which have plagued the rest of the Nokia Nseries, the N95 is set to be a good deal more reliable due to Nokia’s ongoing development in this area. In addition to this, the N95 possesses impressive connectivity, with support for Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Infrared, Wireless LAN and much more besides. The visual functions such as photography that the phone boasts are well supported by the large and clear screen. If there was any criticism it would be the small navigation buttons which could maybe have been a little larger.

Summary
The Nokia N95 appears set to live up to the hype of being ‘the most technologically advanced’ phone of its day and while it is by no means perfect it is sure to sell very well in the mass market.
