Nokia N95 8 GB
Combining a cell phone, GPS receiver, digital camera/camcorder, digital audio player, and PDA into an all-in-one multimedia computer/phone, the stylish Nokia N95 features a unique 2-way slide design for easy switching between telephony, entertainment, and Web browsing. The quad-band Nokia N95 GSM/EDGE phone is also ready to run on 3G networks here in the US (850/1900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go. It also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, at home, and on the road from a variety of wireless hotspots.
The innovative 2-way slide concept makes it easy to switch between different modes, going from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys slide out from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen landscape mode.
The Nokia N95 also offers a large 2.8-inch QVGA 16 million color display, impressive 3D graphics, built-in stereo speakers offering a 3D stereo effect, standard 3.5 mm audio jack, and mini USB for convenient data transfer.

Nokia N95 8GB is amazing there’s no problem with the software or battery life. But Nokia N95 8GB lacks small things like a memory slot, third party GPS apps compatibility and gaming keys.
But one thing bothers me, its the price. It could be a little lower, but everything else is just fascinating.
The screen of Nokia N95 is bad. The colours are so washed out compared to other phones that it isn’t funny at all… that’s my only gripe about the phone though, everything else is great.
First impressions of Nokia N95 8GB? It looks much nicer in person, very, very sexy and shiny piano black and gun metal soft keys.
Slide is very solid in either directions. One problem of the n95 is the slow camera. Perfect for taking buildings, landscape, scenic pictures, still macros and all manner of permanently static objects, but forget it if there’s something moving.
Keypad lights, as well as music keys are in a smart contrasting white.
LOVE THE PHONE, HATE THE CAMS,… it soooooooooooo slow :(
