Nokia N95

(4/7/08)

This Symbian-based multimedia phone lacks a touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard, focusing more on music, video, and photos. It's also a wireless Swiss Army knife, with 3G (HSDPA) support, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, infrared, and an FM radio. Some of the... Read the full review
Pros: ; 3.5mm headphone jack; built-in WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth; excellent camera; blogging tools

Nokia N95

(6/11/07)
Summary: The N95 sells for around Rs. 31,500 with a one year warranty. The phone is pretty expensive. Its pricing puts it in competition with the N93i which is also around the same price. Given a choice between the two, N95 compared to the N93i is a better deal. N95 has been in the market for quite some time now and only when there is atleast a 5K... Read the full review
Pros: ; Carl Zeiss 5 MP lens, Autofocus with flash, 2GB microSD, A2DP Bluetooth v2.0, WiFi, Light Weight, 3G.

Verdict: The N95 almost justifies its hefty price-tag for the sat-nav alone. Despite a few bugs, Nokia's handset succeeds as phone, camera, media player, PDA and above all personal navigator. If we had to rescue just one device from a burning house, it would be the N95

Nokia N95 Review


Summary: The N95 is the flagship multimedia computer/smartphone device by Nokia. Offering a drool-worthy list of features, it's designed to do a lot in an extremely pocketable package. Antoine Wright brings us this review. Read the full review
Verdict: As you can probably tell, the N95 packs a whole lot into one heck of a nice package. Nokia even ran a few Web ads talking about how the N95 helps you reclaim your pockets, and how people did computing back in the 'old days.' The N95 is truly a different kind of mobile device. One where there are literally no limits on how you can apply
