Nokia N95 8GB




About a year ago Nokia released a tech-freak's dream of a handset offering a mouthwatering horde of features in a fairly compact size. The omnipresent N95 spawned a successor and now the question is how much better can it get. Nokia N95 8GB sure has good genes but there still seems to be enough room for improvement. At first glance, Nokia has heeded user complaints with the original and addressed them properly. However, we are yet to see if the enhancements are enough to make the N95 8GB the definitive upgrade from the previous model or is it about laurel-resting mostly.





Key features:

* 2.8" 16M color QVGA display
* 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and Carl Zeiss optics
* Massive storage capacity and increased RAM
* Wi-Fi with UPnP technology
* Built-in GPS receiver and A-GPS functionality
* Nokia maps application covering over 100 countries worldwide
* Dual-slide design with dedicated multimedia keys
* Standard 3.5mm audio jack
* 3G (with HSDPA), EDGE and GPRS support
* Symbian OS 9.2 Series 60 3rd edition Feature Pack 1 user interface
* TV-out functionality
* 1200 mAh battery

Main disadvantages:

* No camera lens protector
* No RDS system for the FM radio
* Below average GPS performance, no 3rd party apps support
* Extra charges for voice assisted navigation
* Cannot edit office documents
* No card slot
* Doesn't charge when connected to USB
