Amazon.com Product Description
Combining a cell phone, GPS receiver, digital camera/camcorder, digital audio player, and PDA into an all-in-one multimedia computer/phone, the stylish black Nokia N95 features a unique 2-way slide design for easy switching between telephony, entertainment, and Web browsing. The quad-band Nokia N95 GSM/EDGE phone is also ready to run on international 3G networks (2100 MHz, found in Europe and Asia), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go. It also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, at home, and on the road from a variety of wireless hotspots. It's based on S60 software operating on the Symbian OS, enabling you to personalize the N95 by choosing from a wide choice of compatible applications that can be downloaded--including games, navigation, entertainment, and productivity titles. This version of the Nokia N95 (N95-2) has an internal 8 GB memory, and it doesn't include a MicroSD expansion slot. 
The N95 slides two ways to reveal a phone keypad (top) and media controls (bottom). | This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. The innovative 2-way slide concept makes it easy to switch between different modes, going from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys slide out from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen landscape mode. With the Carl Zeiss optics on the 5-megapixel camera, you can capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips. Carl Zeiss, a world leader in high quality camera lenses, brings an award-winning legacy to the Nokia N95 with state-of-the-art optics for mobile photography and mobile video. The Zeiss name has been associated with cameras from Hasselblad, Rollei, Yashica, Sony, and Nikon. The Nokia N95 actually has two cameras, a high resolution camera on the back of the device (the main camera in landscape mode) and a lower resolution camera on the front (the secondary camera in portrait mode). You can use both cameras to take still pictures and record videos. It supports an image capture resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels using the main camera. Images saved as JPEG files while videos are recorded in the MPEG-4 file format with the .mp4 file extension, or in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension (sharing quality). Photos and video clips can be enjoyed on a compatible television thanks to the device's TV out feature and support for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology. With instant access to the Internet, sharing life experiences with the world by uploading pictures and videos directly to popular picture sharing and blogging sites is quick and easy. The N95 includes software for uploading images directly to the Flickr.com website, one of the world's most popular photo communities, which allows you to share pics with friends and family, send photos directly to your blog, or simply organize and store. Aspiring photographers and film makers don't have to stop at just capturing stunning images and DVD-like quality video (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) with the Nokia N95. An integrated photo and video editor allows for music and tags to be added before sending images to friends or uploading them to the web. The Nokia N95 also offers a large 2.8-inch QVGA 16 million color display, impressive 3D graphics, built-in stereo speakers offering a 3D stereo effect, standard 3.5 mm audio jack, and USB connectivity. Other highlights include 802.11b/g Wi-Fi with WPA2/WPA security, Bluetooth v2.0 connectivity, and 8 GB of internal memory, as well as the following features. Lifeblog
Designed with mobile photographers and bloggers in mind, the Nokia N95's Lifeblog feature lets you view, search, edit, and share your personal digital content with ease. Lifeblog's synchronizing software automatically pulls your media together into an easy-to-browse, searchable multimedia diary: SMS, MMS, images, videos, sounds, and text notes stay organized between the N95 and your PC. GPS Mapping
Plan your route, find your way home, and get to know places you've never visited with the integrated GPS mapping capability. The Maps application includes maps for more than 100 countries, enabling you to explore the world, find specific routes or locate services such as restaurants and hotels and covering more than 15 million points of interest. You can also purchase additional features, such as city guides and voice guided navigation. Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map
View web pages as they were originally intended with the integrated Nokia Web Browser, which enables you to zoom out to a full screen view of the entire page using the Mini Map feature. Find the section you want and then zoom in to the content you need. The text instantly adjusts to the size of your screen. The browser also keeps a history of your browsing so you can quickly get back to where you started. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology means that the Nokia N95 will discover, interact with, and control other compatible home electronic devices. This includes PCs, media centers, home entertainment systems, new smart appliances, home automation systems, networked peripherals, and Web-based services. With compatible equipment, you can stream video from your Nokia device directly to your TV, or hear music tracks stored on your PC through your living room's sound system. RealPlayer Multimedia Playback
Take your media with you when you're out on the go. With the built-in RealPlayer software, you can stream and download your favorite content onto the N95, giving you access to the latest news, sports, and entertainment updates. Or sync up with your PC and play the music and movies stored on your hard drive. Vital Statistics

 It's the way I wanted December 14, 2007
Jimmy@R.H. (CA USA)
24 out of 25 found this review helpful
i've used nokia n80 and n93i, and i don't really expect too much from n95 8G edition based on my experiences. BUT, it really impressed me this time. first, it has this ridiculous 128MB Ram boosting it running like a computer. Second, the build-in GPS module works better than i thought. Third, the manufacturer is outsanding. by the way, i bought it from the DataVision who provided this made in Finland version. Perfect!!!
PS: i've just got this phone, and the slide is tight, everything is fine. but i've heard that the dust is easy to get in, so i'll keep you guys posted. and, this is certainly not the U.S. version, and based on what i've read, the only one works under U.S. 3G network is the n95-3, which works with 8G mini-SD card, rather than this one. be aware of that!!!
**UPDATE**: i've used this wonderful gadget for a week, and i don't have any problem or hang except once or twice reboot when plug the aftermarket earphone into the jack. in comparison to the n80 & n93i i've owned, this one runs software ridiculously FAST. the more than 90MB Ram when just turn on and more than 80MB Ram when use for a while enable users to do a whole bunch of things at the same time. here is a real test, i once tried to make it dead that i opened Nokia Map (including GPS functionality), Music Player (about 300 songs), Slideshow (including more than 200 photos), Opera Web brower, N-Gage Game, and Draging files in and out via Bluetooth. Guess what? it dosn't hang in neither one of these works, and i can switch to any one of them and continue the thing i do.
However, the cpu has the same power as the 95-1, which means you don't get any faster than the other 95 bros. Also, there is no protection on the camera whatsoever, and that potentially increases the possibility of physical damage on the camera.
Also, the battery life is improved but still not that good. Personally, i had trip the other day with GPS Navigating out and back and shooting more than 200 photos (most with flash on), the battery went all day with no problem and was dead as soon as i got home.
This may not be the one for you to ditch the iPhone since it doesn't have the cool next gen' look. but it sure win on the functionalities and on the third party software support. iPhone and 8G 95 are all cool gadgets out there, i recommend the ones asking for more than functions to give 8G 95 a test drive @ least before you buy the iPhone, it won't hurt~
**UPDATE**:it's been a while that i use N95 8GB edition, and i appreciate people who agree with me on my review. so, here are something more i wanna tell. I just found out the occasional reboot for plugging the aftermarket earphones in is a software based problem, so Nokia has released the new edition of firmware update, V15 to be specific, for the Asia-Pacific area code (only). and i expect the new firmware will be available for all areas soon.
also, I travelled to San Francisco and San Diego by the end of 2007, and GPS had poor performance for both cities. one thing is, the built-in GPS module has a really small receiver for the satallite signals that, i got this tip from other forum, which is keeping the keyboard slided out when you activate the GPS would help to find signals faster since the GPS module receiver located right under the mic. however, it's still not dependable for hiking because the weather, the location, the interfere of other signals, they all gonna disturb the GPS reception, and that is a FACT. Good idea to put GPS inside, but not every feasible for the current firmware to actually achieve.
Also, i wanna say this for the Unlocked phone sellers: it is absolutely not good for customer to enjoy your repair services no matter how good they really are. the good seller, as i luckily had for this phone, got 5 stars rating out of me simply because its phone DOES NOT have any problem, and that's why i have been recommending it to the folks online. if the company is well-known for its repair service and i knew it in the first place, then i won't buy anything from it. as I said at the beginning, i had a N93i previously of N95 8GB, and I sent it back for repair, TWICE! so, the seller blamed the Nokia for the problem, and i believed that, despite the N95 8GB had the unbroken orignal factory seal on the box but the N93i's factory seal was broken. here is the real comparison, folks, would you like to enjoy your over 700 buck gadget out there more than 2 weeks for repair with unkowning people (including "friendly" UPS guys who "really care about your stuff in the box", and the repair guys who "make good money out for repair your gadgets") handling it?
Guess what? here is a seller distributing the phones don't break, so don't you feel shame to brag about your repair service? We're neither stupid nor ones who care about whether you produce the phone, but we sure pay the money TO YOU, the Seller!
Solid performance. Worth the price. December 7, 2007

I've been using this phone for a little over a month now. The features list is impressive and accurate. The only "standard" feature I have not used is the broadband cellular data services. I tend to keep my online use restricted to Wi-Fi hot spots. Connection to these are simple.
The Symbian OS has been working like a champ. I've installed anti-virus and the Opera web browser and some other software. Installation is simple and with the use of supplied Nokia software I don't even need to download the installation files to the phone.
GPS functionality is nice, but not comprehensive. Also, to make the phone effective for navigation you need to leave the screen back light on, which is hard on the battery. Consider this a solid backup if you get lost.
The contact management is superior to any other device I've used and was a primary reason for this purchase. Synchronization to Outlook is simple and fast via Bluetooth or the supplied USB cable.
The camera functions adequately. I would have liked to use this to replace a typical point and shoot, but the quality is not quite good enough. But excellent for a phone.
Finally, the ability to take my phone to AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile: priceless. This is my second unlocked device and I won't be forced into signing a contract for a fad phone ever again.
End the 3G confusion...you can use this in the US! December 20, 2007

First...this phone will work in the US on any GSM carrier (TMobile or ATT to name the biggest ones). But the 3G does not work in the US...only in Europe. (maybe we'll hear about a US 3G version in Vegas in a few weeks:D).
2nd...awesome phone...i love it! I don't mind not having a touch screen...and the features of the N95 MORE than make up for not having a touch screen.
Now I don't need to carry around my iPod, digital camera, GPS, Blackberry, PSP...everything in one! Genius.
Excellent product January 7, 2008

All round excellent performance. Small and light enough to fit comfortably in most pockets. Display easy to customize. Great to have the large memory for my extensive contact list and you can throw in quite a few pics, videos and some music. 3G Works a charm. Battery life could improve - runs down quickly when used for many/long phone calls, but that's not a major problem as it charges quite quickly.
The black bitch... March 9, 2008

Love it, love it, love it. Beats the iPhone hands down as far as versatility and power. If you are a text junkie...maybe it's not your thing due to the lack of an incorporated keyboard. But the memory, speed, internet accessibilty and wealth of applications makes it the ultimate pimp phone.My only drawbacks were being worried about dropping it or breaking it due to the price tag. The camera is exceptional except for the lag from pressing the shutter button to the time it snaps the photo. Slight pause there.
And it does go through a fully charged battery like a crackhead goes through 10 bucks.
But still, very satisfied. Love it.
