The N95 also sports an integrated GPS receiver (including support for Nokia Maps, so users can find their way around in more than 150 countries and choose among over 15 million points of interest), and includes and integrated email client, Web browser, and PIM applications.
If you can’t get to the Internet via high-speed mobile networks, there’s always the N95’s integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. And if you don’t like cables for syncing or hands-free talking, there’s Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. The N95 sports USB 2.0 connectivity and stores media and documents to microSD cards.
