Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Combining a cell phone, GPS receiver, digital camera/camcorder, digital audio player, and PDA into an all-in-one multimedia computer/phone, the stylish silver-and-bronze 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), 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.

It's based on S60 software operating on the Symbian OS, enabling you to personalize the N95 by choosing from a wide choice of compatible applications that can be downloaded--including games, navigation, entertainment, and productivity titles. This version of the Nokia N95 (model N95-3) has an internal 160 MB memory, and it includes a MicroSD expansion slot compatible with cards up to 4 GB in size.

The N95 slides two ways to reveal a phone keypad (top) and media controls (bottom).

This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.

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.

With the Carl Zeiss optics on the 5-megapixel camera, you can capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips. Carl Zeiss, a world leader in high quality camera lenses, brings an award-winning legacy to the Nokia N95 with state-of-the-art optics for mobile photography and mobile video. The Zeiss name has been associated with cameras from Hasselblad, Rollei, Yashica, Sony, and Nikon.

Snap incredible photos with the 5-megapixel camera on the back of the N95.

The Nokia N95 actually has two cameras, a high resolution camera on the back of the device (the main camera in landscape mode) and a lower resolution camera on the front (CIF resolution, 352 x 288). The main camera on the back of the N95 supports an image capture resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels. (Note that the low-resolution camera on the front can provide two-way video calling; however, at this time no U.S. carrier offers this service.) You can use both cameras to take still pictures and record videos. Images are saved as JPEG files while videos are recorded in the MPEG-4 file format with the .mp4 file extension, or in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension (sharing quality). Photos and video clips can be enjoyed on a compatible television thanks to the device's TV out feature and support for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology.

With instant access to the Internet, sharing life experiences with the world by uploading pictures and videos directly to popular picture sharing and blogging sites is quick and easy. The N95 includes software for uploading images directly to the Flickr.com website, one of the world's most popular photo communities, which allows you to share pics with friends and family, send photos directly to your blog, or simply organize and store.

Aspiring photographers and film makers don't have to stop at just capturing stunning images and DVD-like quality video (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) with the Nokia N95. An integrated photo and video editor allows for music and tags to be added before sending images to friends or uploading them to the web.

The Nokia N95 also offers a large 2.6-inch QVGA 16 million color display, impressive 3D graphics, built-in stereo speakers offering a 3D stereo effect, standard 3.5 mm audio jack, support for compatible microSD cards (up to 4 GB) and mini USB for convenient data transfer. Other highlights include 802.11b/g Wi-Fi with WPA2/WPA security, Bluetooth v2.0 connectivity, and 160 MB of internal memory, as well as the following features.

Lifeblog
Designed with mobile photographers and bloggers in mind, the Nokia N95's Lifeblog feature lets you view, search, edit, and share your personal digital content with ease. Lifeblog's synchronizing software automatically pulls your media together into an easy-to-browse, searchable multimedia diary: SMS, MMS, images, videos, sounds, and text notes stay organized between the N95 and your PC.

GPS Mapping
Plan your route, find your way home, and get to know places you've never visited with the integrated GPS mapping capability. The Maps application includes maps for more than 100 countries, enabling you to explore the world, find specific routes or locate services such as restaurants and hotels and covering more than 15 million points of interest. You can also purchase additional features, such as city guides and voice guided navigation.

Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map
View web pages as they were originally intended with the integrated Nokia Web Browser, which enables you to zoom out to a full screen view of the entire page using the Mini Map feature. Find the section you want and then zoom in to the content you need. The text instantly adjusts to the size of your screen. The browser also keeps a history of your browsing so you can quickly get back to where you started.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology means that the Nokia N95 will discover, interact with, and control other compatible home electronic devices. This includes PCs, media centers, home entertainment systems, new smart appliances, home automation systems, networked peripherals, and Web-based services. With compatible equipment, you can stream video from your Nokia device directly to your TV, or hear music tracks stored on your PC through your living room's sound system.

RealPlayer Multimedia Playback
Take your media with you when you're out on the go. With the built-in RealPlayer software, you can stream and download your favorite content onto the N95, giving you access to the latest news, sports, and entertainment updates. Or sync up with your PC and play the music and movies stored on your hard drive.

Vital Statistics
The Nokia N95 weighs 4.25 ounces and measures 3.9 x 2.1 x 0.83 inches. Its 950 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of GSM talk time (2.7 hours using 3G networks), and up to 225 hours of digital standby time. This quad-band phone runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies, as well as the 850/1900 UMTS (WCDMA) 3G frequencies in the United States.

I have been using nokia phones for at least 12 years now. While I really liked this phone, I ended up returning it, which made me very sad, b/c i really wanted to keep it.

It has many great features, just read other reviews, I don't want to repeat and bore you.

Typing/input was too difficult/slow, it started to hurt my thumbs.

The video quality was not that great, and some of my videos played with few seconds of pause every few minutes.

My unit's call quality was poor.

Copy and paste while surfing the web, not possible.

Podcast search was poor, I had to know the rss url to get what I was looking for.

Some of the old nokia features vanished, like in my previous ones I could customize the profiles so it would vibrate from 9am to 5pm, then go back to ringing until midnight, switch back to vibrating until 6am. Not there anymore.

And of course the battery life...., very short. It should come with two power adapters so we can keep one at work and one at home.

It's a great phone but not worth $410. If the price drops again, I would love to have it.

ps. if you are in NYC or Chicago, you can get much better price at Nokia stores then at amazon.com, very strange!

This review is from: Nokia N95 Unlocked Cell Phone with 5 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver/Bronze) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I work for a company that develops software for handsets, so when I got this phone, it was one of at least a dozen different models in my personal test suite. This is one of the few that I chose to use personally.

If you hold it side by side with the older N80, you'll find that although it looks a lot bigger, it's really close to the same size. But the layout has a much larger screen, better buttons, better resolution, and far more capability.

I won't go into the features, since you can read them in the product description, but I will tell you that the features work well. Many hand held devices with both Wi-fi and Bluetooth don't really work well if you try to use both concurrently. This phone holds up just fine. I tested it with software applications that allow concurrent inter device communications between this phone and 8-10 other devices that are all sharing a connection for multi-user games or multimedia content sharing, using wi-fi for some connections, and Bluetooth for other concurrent ones, and this phone held up well.

Mine had a defect that kept me from using the cable to connect it to my PC. Having a warranty is helpful for that sort of thing, so that's a plus for amazon.com. In all fairness, I haven't had that problem with other Nokia devices, and I've used plenty. And I was able to use Bluetooth to make the same connection, so all was not lost before it could be sent in for warranty repair.

Many of the other reviews don't touch on the product itself, and whether you will like it will depend on features. While this is not the best phone for somebody who needs a full keyboard or touch screen, it is a great phone for somebody looking for this feature set in this type of package. The GPS works well. The speakers sound quite good for built in ones. The feel and overall quality is very nice. The camera works well, and it can even make phone calls.
