Nokia N95 review

While the flagship phone from the hottest mobile company is bizarrely only being offered in Iran at the moment, its release across Europe seems only weeks away, making this the perfect time for a Nokia N95 review.

As much a computer as a cell phone, the Nokia N95 features a unique dual slider, with one side a normal keypad and another layer devoted to music controls. Aside from being MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, and WMA music compatible; it also features a .5mm headphone jack. Other entertainment perks include a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss digital camera, with a 640 x 480 video resolution and 30 frames per second speed, usable for recording, playback or video calling.

And of course you can’t do a Nokia N95 review without touching on the plethora of connecting options, including, infrared, Mini USB, WLAN Wi-Fi, UPnP, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, and possibly even Jake 2.0; running on both 3G GPRS and EDGE. The internet is soundly integrated into the smart phone, with a feature that supports maps of over a 100 countries and Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are also included, making sending and opening business e-mails easy.

The internal memory is generous with 160MB of internal memory and a microSD card slot for which a 128MB card is included. The screen size is 2.6 inches and with the weight a reasonable 120g, it seems like they found the perfect balance between size and features. Aside from battery issues, while 6 and a half hours of talk time is promise, it’s always a concern what that translates to when using other features; the phone looks like a winner and this Nokia N95 review gives it a passing grade.

Of course by passing, that could also mean passing as the Nokia N95 is yet the latest top-of-the-line smart phone that won’t be offered in the United States; though fans can still ship $700 overseas for an unlocked version.
