This is an excellent phone.

I had an iPhone 8GB and sold it on ebay and bought the Nokia N95-3 Red. I like this phone much better.

I love this phone. It is feature rich and works great.

Reception is very good and calls sound loud and clear.

There are a lot of programs ( applications ) available for free that you can download and install.

It is totally unlocked so you can use any SIM you please with any GSM carrier. You sure can't do that with the iPhone which is locked to AT&T and forces you into a 2 year contract. Yuck !

It works great with my 2 Apple Mac computers now that Nokia supports Mac. Very nice addition Nokia !!

The camera is the best of any phone and shoots nice stills and even better videos. Extremely handy ! Finally a phone with a camera that actually works and is useful.

Music, photos, and videos are fun on the N-95 too.

Bottom line, this is a very high quality, feature rich phone. Highly recommended.

I got this phone because of it's features; I already owned an Apple iPhone. The SIM card pops out of the iPhone and in to this phone without any issues at all. That makes switching between the phones a breeze.

For me, this phone is actually more fun to use than the iPhone. I still use my iPhone with WiFi, but I can do so much more with this phone. Off the top of my head, I listed 25 things that this phone can do that the iPhone can't do on my blog (at http://www.kf6nvr.net/blog/archives/000866.html).

However, this phone can't do any of it nearly as easily. I would not recommend this phone to anyone who wants an easy to use phone. It's not. In fact, it's even hard for me to use at times and I specialize in such things.

But the ability to take 5MP images with autofocus, video that can be live streamed to the web via Qik, ease of sharing photos via 3rd part applications (all the way to 0 click sharing), geotagging of photos, true GPS and mapping software, and a variety of other things was too much for me to pass up.

Although this phone has true 3G (and 3.5G) I find that most places don't have as good of 3G coverage as I would like, but it has WiFi which works great in many, many places. This has actually shown me that Apple's decision on the first iPhone was actually a good one.

Recommended for geeks and nerds, but few others. Be prepared to spend time poking about to figure out how to do things and even more time configuring things and downloading apps that make the device work much better.

Bought this mobile for my wife from amazon when the price was 455$. wort the price. loaded with lots of features.. 5Mp camera works great.. takes awsome pictures(see the pictures taken by this camera in the images.). Took the At&T prepaid plan with this mobile os that my wife can call me in case of emergency... it comes with a 1GB of card.. mine was already in the phone.. Here are some of the important features ..
1.Bluetooth: works great.. take the pictures and instant transfer to my laptop.
2.IR
3.5Mp camera.
4.Video clips.
5.Music player.
5.Wi-fi
6.2.6 inch lcd
7. Comes with a GPS.. Never tried this feature... my nuvi 350 works great..
8. Comes with a good hands free head phone..

Comes with a free Mobal card which is of no use.. It was written that it comes with a 20$ refill but never got those minutes... instead it requires your credit card to activate the card... Totally useless....
I will say don't waste ur time looking into it.. just buy the phone...

My only concern is with the body..

It is good in terms of weight but the plastic doesn't looks good in hands.. don't know if it's just me...

Over all this mobile is a killer deal... But.......... if Apple would have come unlocked, I definately will have bought it... :))

Overall it is above all other smartphones. It is good for email, internet and especially pictures. I went from a AT&T Tilt, which didn't live up to its hype and price.

I did my homework, read the editor and customer reviews, this phone is a must, if you can afford.

Thanks,

Happy N95-3 user

I researched the capabilities of smart phones in the market and those about to be launched and decided to buy this one over the 3G iPhone. Unfortunately my phone shuts off by itself every few days even with a full battery. I sent it to Nokia for repair and it died again 48 hrs after getting it back from them. I then found several forums on-line where people are having similar issues with N95s, and others where people complain about the hapless service from Nokia repair. That iPhone is looking really good right now

This is an amazing phone! I use it pretty much for everything, mp3 player, watching dance clips, portable hard drive, camera, and surfing the web when I'm too lazy to turn on the computer. The spec says max capacity is 2GB MicroSD but I'm using an 8GB Sandisk and it's working fine.

It's sync'd to my google calendar using goosync, I know it can be used as a modem too, still trying to figure it out, but it's not that important to me. The speakers are amazingly loud.

A common comment is that it's bulky, but I think the form-factor makes it seem smaller than it is. I've never felt it too bulky in my pocket.

One good surprise was when I first turned it on, it prompted me asking if I wanted to import a phone book via bluetooth from another phone. Within a minute my whole contacts list was in the phone (over 300 contacts). I was dreading having to type these in manually.

Another thing I noticed is that I used to carry my Cannon SD900 around with me to take pictures of everything. With the 5MP camera and bright flash, I have one less thing in my pocket. I post pictures and upload youtube videos within minutes of taking them.

Go Nokia!!!

This phone has to be the best phone I have ever used. I was using a Wing before it, and although I dearly miss having a qwerty keyboard and a touch screen, I am really happy with this phone. The video capturing capabilities are astounding while the camera is top notch. Applications run at full speed, allowing one perform various tasks at a good pace.

the best phone I've ever had, has a lot of applications and a pretty sweet camera

This phone is great! I tend to dislike Nokia but this phone has won me over. The specs are great but my boyfriend has dropped it more than once and the slidder has been derailed. I'm not finding a housing (shell) anywhere in the USA.

The camera is not the greatest! the phone is heavy and larger than an iPhone! or it felt like it! Anyhow I have this Nokia an iPhone and a BlackBerry and it is my least favorite. It works excellent overseas, and it has great signal at home but for the one month a year I spend there... I should've went with less expensive phone.

The WiFi works great!
