Nokia N95,Its what Computers have become

Its not perfect, But its the Best currently available.
N95
Nokia has finally entered the concept of “All inOne Mobile”. From years, mobile users wanted to have a phone which can satisfy there all needs. Finally a phone is shiped which all in one concept, but if you are planning to buy it , you will be nearly spending nearly some percent of your salary or whole salary for some people.

As everyone knows that there is nothing like a perfect phone, its the same case here also.

N95 boasts a lot of features but finally lags in some cases. I am not going to go in Details of anything but will just give you a brief overview of its bad and good. :

The Good : .

Two-way sliding construction
Dedicated music keys
Landscape screen mode
Stereo speakers
microSD memory card slot
UMTS, Wi-Fi, USB, stereo Bluetooth and Infrared support
miniUSB port
FM radio
5 megapixel camera with auto focus
Records video in VGA resolution
GPS receiver with free basic navigation
Symbian 9.1 OS with S60 3rd edition UI plus Feature Pack 1
Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
TV-out port

The Bad :

Poor battery life
Charging through USB is not possible
Voice assisted GPS navigation is charged
GPS chip doesn’t work with third party applications
Cannot edit office documents
Too much Water Colour Effect on Photos

I am posting the conclusion of many website:

Conclusion 1 :

This phone is targeted at a globetrotter or a business traveler. Some one who can do justice to the plethora of software the N95 is loaded with viz. GPS or Wi-fi with HSDPA and Push email, the 5 megapixel camera, the office software etc. Weighing 120 gms, the phone is a steal for all its loaded features. In fact we though it was just a dummy piece when it first came to us.

The Bottom Line - this Smartphone, no… scratch that, Superphone is not just for everyone, but priced at just around Rs. 40,000, it’s well worth it. For a phone that has and does more than most, this is a must-have for all you Tech-heads out there.

Conclusion 2 :

Very high price, no competitors

Till today I have never had the courage to name any phone like the best one on the market with clear conscience. But Nokia N95 does deserve this label. It has no adequate competitors on the current mobile market: it is extremely rich in functions, has a comfortable and detailed user interface with plenty of settings, and on the top of it, it is a relatively light and compact.

The most notable drawback of Nokia N95 is its battery life. It will require daily doses of power, unless you limit its usage to occasional calls and messages, deactivate 3G, Wi-Fi, and GPS, and play no videos. In this case you may happen to postpone charging by a couple of days, but is such use worth the purchase of a phone like Nokia N95? The answer is no. Of course, battery life is an individual matter and depends on many factors. Nevertheless we can assure you that during our intensive tests we had no other option but to charge the device sometimes even twice a day.

The first batch of Nokia N95 hit the market at a high price. Even so it was immediately sold out. The main delivery whose price is said to be a bit lower is being expected at the end of April. Anyway, the price remains rather high, perhaps due to the strong customer demand. Nokia N95 may be very expensive, but it also offers a lot and thus keeps attracting numerous prospective buyers. In this sequence of thoughts it is quite probable that in a few months, when the initial ecstasy falls off, the price of the phone will also fall down a bit. Be prepared, however, that drops in price will hardly be significant as Nokia N95 will continue to be the best phone in the world for a while and will thus manage to easily maintain its price.

Conclusion 3:
To sum on, this is not perfect phone, not at all, there is lot of place for improvements but after all, its not neccessary 2B perfect 2B famous and it is still one of the best non-qwerty smart phones nowadays.

Conclusion 4 :

Great looking phone and a great performer. Like Nokia says, it’s truly amazing “what computers have become”. Great screen, powerful processor with 2D/3D graphics and video acceleration, all connectivity and data transmission options including HSDPA, WLAN b/g, UPnP, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, fantastic camera letting you take still pictures with quality comparable to amateur digicams and record video clips of mini-DV quality, great audio and video playback capabilities, TV out connector, built-in GPS receiver and good mapping software - everything inside small, light and extremely good looking housing. What’s left to say… GO, GET IT!

So Guys !!!! Go Get it
