Nokia N95 is a Nseries Smart Phone which is based on S60 Platform (which is a set of libraries for smart phones consisting of libraries, multimedia player etc) and Symbian OS Operating system (this OS is designed for Mobile Devices).

Being a smart phone and loaded with software it makes it unique among all the N series.

It can be described as phone which gives you 5 Mega Pixel camera, DVD Quality Footage, browsing and GPS mapping. It can be called as complete phone with just one glitch , though its a twin slider the design is not a ground breaking one.

Now that you know most of the features, lets see the dark and bright side of the N95 model.

The Positives of Nokia N95
Excellent Screen Size which allows clear views and positive for videos. In The age of “on Demand” Internet this can be a boost.
Amazing Sound Clarity which takes up signals in elevators also.
DVD quality video recording.
Being a 5 Mega Pixel Camera gives yo the best of imaging in mobile phones. The phone comes with lifeblog software , which is in all NSeries, which allows you to upload photos to flickr
Listening Music is a different experience with N95. The Sound quality is stable and rich. It doesn’t sound loud as other phones.
Wi-Fi is give a huge support on N95. Thus allowing to connect to any hot spot. Even Voice Over Ip Support rocks.

The Negatives of Nokia N95
The phone is little heavy in terms of software. The applications are reported to hang more often.
Inbuilt memory is too less according to me. It should have come with much higher memory support keeping in mind the applications that run on it.
The Battery along with this phone doesn’t even last a day. Thats a big down for this super smart phone.
The design is not that attractive, Its more like a box design though its a 2 slider phone.
This phone is good but then it’s not for everybody. You might have to think before buying it specially because of the battery aspect.

I think it is not a good idea to but one, unless that you are a business man.

Hey man, great review, i Like it.
Let me make a couple of notes here, symbian is not for every one, its for the ones who understand it and can make full use of it. Its like a hummer in a small town, if you know what you can do with a hummer, you will enjoy every bit of it. else you will slam it into some old lady crossing the street.
N95, to me, is a doorway to a new generation of cell phones, ones that will allow us to do what ever we want with the cell.
Battery is some thing problematic for all nokia symbians, but with great benefits comes the big drawbacks.

lets see what other rivals can offer to compete N95

I don't want to hear '5 megapixels, it's best out there, bla bla...' How does the pics look? Last time I looked at pics made by N95@5megapixels, the pics made by N73@3.2mp still looked better.

All up pic size is very grainy for N95, not worth looking at.. So I resized to 3.2 mp same as N73, took a good look at both pics and N73, still looked better in clarity/quality/colors.

That was a couple months ago, how does it look now, did it improve? I understand why still pics for N95 won't look as good as N73's, the cmos sensor seems similar to N93 which is optimized for taking videos, hence, not as good as N73 in taking still pics, in which N73's cmos is optimized for
