It's about how fast you can get some information on a mobile device.

Nokia N95 Reviews


Nokia N95 is one of the most cool and anticipated Nokia smart phone, first release on September 2006. Actually, Nokia did not have plans to over the N95 to the United States, but most of U.S customers requests this phone to be able in U.S, so finally the Nokia company decided to spend this smart phone across the pond.


Nokia N95 was installed high quality 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus abillity, that can also take or record videos with VGA-quality. Also integrated GPS receiver, HSDPA 3G and WiFi 802.11 b/g data support, built-in GPS capabillities covers 100 countries worldwide.
This phone's layer was a large display with 2.6" QVGA (240x320) display that can display 16 millions different color shades. Featured media player with 3.5mm headphone jack, dual-slider design, and bluetooth connection.


This Phone dimension is 100 x 53 x 20 mm (3.9" x 2.1" x 0.8") with weight is 121gr, its somewhat large slider form factor handset. The design was normal silver paint finish if you are looking from front of it, but sides and back of the device make use of a soft touch style deep burgundy color paint that has some elegant feels.
Nokia has done so far better job with a slider mechanism on N95 than it did on N80. The innovatice two-way slider design, not only can slide the front cover up to reveal the keypad, it can also slide down to expose the media controls.



Surplus
- Elegant design
- Superb 5 Mpix Camera
- Built-in GPS receiver
- Huge TFT screen
- Wi-FiGPS Navigation

Minuses

- Too loose sliding part
-Too little free RAM
- Poor standby battery life
- The hardware feels a bit cheap

Other reviews (source: reviews zine.com)

CNET Asia reviews the Nokia N95 (rating: 8/10) and writes ;
“The good:
HSDPA; Wi-Fi; onboard GPS; 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens; 3.5mm audio
jack; mini-USB connector. The bad: Build quality doesn’t justify the premium
price; poor battery life; sluggish performance when multiple applications are
running; premium price. The bottom line: There’s no doubt that the Nokia N95 is
one of the most full-featured smart phones available right now, but its poor
battery life could very well be its Achilles’ heel.”

CNET reviews the
Nokia N95 (rating: 7/10) and writes ;
“The good: The Nokia N95 cell
phone boasts a 5-megapixel camera that produces good-quality photos and videos.
It comes with advanced multimedia capabilities and has a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Symbian smart phone also features integrated GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and
an innovative two-way slider design. The bad: The N95 lacks support for U.S. 3G
networks; standby battery life is poor; and performance is somewhat sluggish.
The hardware feels a bit cheap, and the sliding mechanism could be more secure.
It’s also very expensive. The bottom line: With a 5-megapixel camera, advanced
multimedia capabilities, and GPS, there’s no doubt that the Nokia N95 is one of
the most feature-packed smart phones to date, but poor battery life and sluggish
performance makes it hard to justify the high price tag. “

MobileTechReview reviews the Nokia N95 (rating: 4.5/5) and writes ;
“Pro: Good smartphone features, fantastic camera that’s far ahead of the
pack, great video, decent GPS, reliable WiFi with easy connection management,
fast Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, vivid and large display, excellent ergonomics and
controls, good multimedia performance, excellent software bundle, best mobile
browser on the market and the phone syncs to both Windows and Mac OSX. Con:
Price! Though we don’t think the price is far off the mark given the cost of
other unlocked feature-packed phones without contract, that’s a lot of money and
relatively few will be willing or able to spend that much cash. Battery life
could be better. Navigation software has a few bugs and needs a few more
features and more intuitive organization. “

PCWorld reviews the Nokia
N95 and writes ;
“The first thing that impressed me about the N95 was
its design. Though it will rank among the largest phones we’ve tested for our
Top 10 Cell Phones chart, the N95 is lightweight (4.2 ounces, according to
Nokia). It felt comfortable to hold in my small hand, in spite of its
2.2-by-3.9-by-0.8-inch dimensions…I found the images I captured to be lively and
far better quality than those from other camera phones, but I haven’t compared
its output side-by-side with a dedicated point-and-shoot camera yet. My initial
impression from limited use is that image purists, like myself, will prefer the
images generated by a dedicated camera….In spite of my few nits, I’ve enjoyed
using the Nokia N95. It’s the first phone I’ve seen in a while that does a great
job at combining style with function. Now, if only it weren’t priced at
$750–that alone is one very considerable reason to think twice about buying this
phone that does it all. “

Conclusion:
It's truly amazing what computers have become, nice looking phone and great performer. Large screen display, powerful processor with 2D/3D graphic and video acceleration, complete connectivy options (HSDPA, WLAN b/g, UPnP, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR. If you want to get a camera phone that can provide good quality picture, you should try to purchase this Nokia N95 because its integrated with 5-Megapixel camera. It's like a amateur digital camera with so many high technology featured. N95's camera can record video clips of mini-DVquality comparable to amateur digicam quality. Also great audio and video playback capabilities, TV out connector, built-in GPS receiver and good mapping softwares are featured in this phone.

Nokia N73 Review

Nokia N73 is fancy phone with elegant design, 6 cm, 262k-colour display. N73 have 3 kind of color to choose: silver/grey, frost white/metalic red and frost white/mocha. N73 classified a large phone, measuring 110mm - 49mm - 19mm, but Nokia keeps this phone's weight of the handset down to a reasonable 116 grams. The keypad is relatively simple and easy to use, with 8 shortcut keys squeezed above and around the numerical buttons.
This phone installed camera with 3.2 megapixels resolution, so you can take photos that suitable for prints up to 5.1 x 6.8 inches (13 x 17 cm). However standard 4 x 6 inch photos (10 x 15 cm) will turn out less grainy. N73 cameras is designed with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens with auto focus abillity. The Nokia N73 supports four image quality setting. N73 camera saves videos in MP4 and 3GPP video files, RealPlayer and Flash files also can be viewed.
Quick office is onboard for Word documents, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
Connectivity options available for 3G, Bluetooth 2.0 and infrared.
MMC is MiniSD memory card expansion.
Annotation:
Nokia N73 is fantastic choice for taking photos with its great picture taking skills, great sharing options and compact sizes.
Also includes this great feature: when you have a call coming in, after the first ringing, Nokia N73 can pronounce caller's name with its specific artificial voice. It is a pretty useful function, as it makes you free from looking at the display when you are being called. The only condition here is that the respective caller is included in the phonebook of your phone.
Example: When John call you, then you have not answer that call, so after the first ringing of your ring tone, N73 immediately spend a voice that sound the caller's name, "John", from phone's speakers.
