Review: Nokia N95
The Good: The jewel in Nokia’s crown is a phone for all, both music megalomaniacs and photo fanatics alike. Boasting a 5 mega pixel camera, dual band WiFi and GPS with maps for over 100 countries, there is no shortage of things to get excited about.
The Bad: Although branded as a world phone, the N95 lacks support for US 3G data networks. Battery life even on standby is low, and performance sluggish despite the large internal memory. Finally, the handset finish looks cheap and the dual-sliding mechanism feels somewhat insecure.
The Bottom Line: You get what you pay for with technology, and the crème de la crème of the Nokia range is no exception. This is most certainly a unit which many will envy but few will be able to afford. However, despite it’s impressive specifications, the lack of a TV tuner such as that offered by the N93, the cheap finish and sluggish performance make it hard to justify the almost $800 retail price.
