 "IF THIS PHONE CAN'T DO IT , I DON'T NEED IT!" | 2009-05-23 |
| - Reviewed By Dale N. Scott |
I've had the latest version of this phone now for 3 weeks and I'm SO glad I never got an iPhone. I was at MacWorld when it was unvieled for the first time. I'll never forget seeing it sitting in its' acrylic showcase atop a pedestal rotating about like the KhooINoor Diamond, drawing awestruck gazes and gasps from the bug-eyed onlookers. I was immediately put off by what it DIDN'T have (user replaceable battery, no card slot) and the damned DRM. Leave it to Apple to be anal about something! I have to say that I actually bought an iPhone and kept it for 3 days without breaking the seal on the box because I didn't want to pay AT&T the 20% restocking fee if I changed my mind. I took it back and got a Blackberry Curve instead. I liked it and used it well for two years but wanted more. When Amazon offered the N95 for $350 on Lightning Deal I decided to take the plunge knowing that it would only cost me postage to return it. About the only thing negative I can say about this phone (other than lack of a card slot) is that I can't stop playing with it! The user interface is very intuitive. The screen is beautiful, the sound is unrivaled by anything as small and I think, personally, it's a better phone than the N96 mainly because the keyes are NOT flush with the case (I can feel them and know here my thumb/finger is on the keyes without looking). I haven't hit the wall yet with 8GB of onboard memory and the lack of a card slot is not worth an extra $300. I don't know what the N97 has to offer but by the time I get tired of this baby, I expect that there will be something even more impressive available.
Most, if not all, of the negative reviews are outdated and have no relevance to the current offering. The N95s 8GB NAM (North American) phone is absolutely amazing and the evidence lives in the shelf life of the product. Here it is two years after the negative reviews were posted and hasn't been updated and does not reflect the status of the current iteration of this amazing piece of technology. It's very user friendly and a pleasure to use. The sound is the best of any hand-held device on the market (by the opinion of cNet and others), the screen is crystal clear, the GPS works well and the service is included in the $20 ATT&T data plan and WLAN, WiFi and celll phone functions are the best I've ever experienced. Now if only Amazon would update the reviews to reflect the true, current product it would be more accurate.
P.S. THIS PHONE IS 3G ENABLED (and is ready for 3.5G, when that becomes available).
Thanks for reading my review. |

| the nokia n95 8gb is by far the best phone on the planet right now. sure in a year or so something else will come out and beat it but for now, this is the best. why do i say that? because this phone is more concerned with productivity rather than "neat" gadgets inside. i can get my work done, be entertained and draw stares all at the same time, with this phone. the phone is sexy, it has power and features out the wazoo. the camera itself made me sell my canon elph off. i use the camera and video all the time. the wifi is awesome on this giant screen, the gps i've actually used a million times to find my way around washington d.c. its excellent. the gps has hotspots so you can find nearby airports, malls, restaurants, movie theatres, etc. i have to go to work now so i don't have time to write all this good stuff. but you get the drift, you won't be disappointed. |

| Without consider the price, it is really a amazing cell I used. It almost can do everything. The only shortage I think is it doesn't support multiple languages such as East Asia language. |
