Amazon.com Product Description
Combining a cell phone, GPS receiver, digital camera/camcorder, digital audio player, and PDA into an all-in-one multimedia computer/phone, the stylish silver-and-bronze Nokia N95 features a unique 2-way slide design for easy switching between telephony, entertainment, and Web browsing. The quad-band Nokia N95 GSM/EDGE phone is also ready to run on 3G networks here in the US (850/1900 MHz UMTS), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go. It also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, at home, and on the road from a variety of wireless hotspots. It's based on S60 software operating on the Symbian OS, enabling you to personalize the N95 by choosing from a wide choice of compatible applications that can be downloaded--including games, navigation, entertainment, and productivity titles. This version of the Nokia N95 (model N95-3) has an internal 160 MB memory, and it includes a MicroSD expansion slot compatible with cards up to 4 GB in size. 
The N95 slides two ways to reveal a phone keypad (top) and media controls (bottom). | This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. The innovative 2-way slide concept makes it easy to switch between different modes, going from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys slide out from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen landscape mode. With the Carl Zeiss optics on the 5-megapixel camera, you can capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips. Carl Zeiss, a world leader in high quality camera lenses, brings an award-winning legacy to the Nokia N95 with state-of-the-art optics for mobile photography and mobile video. The Zeiss name has been associated with cameras from Hasselblad, Rollei, Yashica, Sony, and Nikon. The Nokia N95 actually has two cameras, a high resolution camera on the back of the device (the main camera in landscape mode) and a lower resolution camera on the front (the secondary camera in portrait mode). You can use both cameras to take still pictures and record videos. It supports an image capture resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels using the main camera. Images saved as JPEG files while videos are recorded in the MPEG-4 file format with the .mp4 file extension, or in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension (sharing quality). Photos and video clips can be enjoyed on a compatible television thanks to the device's TV out feature and support for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology. With instant access to the Internet, sharing life experiences with the world by uploading pictures and videos directly to popular picture sharing and blogging sites is quick and easy. The N95 includes software for uploading images directly to the Flickr.com website, one of the world's most popular photo communities, which allows you to share pics with friends and family, send photos directly to your blog, or simply organize and store. Aspiring photographers and film makers don't have to stop at just capturing stunning images and DVD-like quality video (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) with the Nokia N95. An integrated photo and video editor allows for music and tags to be added before sending images to friends or uploading them to the web. The Nokia N95 also offers a large 2.6-inch QVGA 16 million color display, impressive 3D graphics, built-in stereo speakers offering a 3D stereo effect, standard 3.5 mm audio jack, support for compatible microSD cards (up to 4 GB) and mini USB for convenient data transfer. Other highlights include 802.11b/g Wi-Fi with WPA2/WPA security, Bluetooth v2.0 connectivity, and 160 MB of internal memory, as well as the following features. Lifeblog
Designed with mobile photographers and bloggers in mind, the Nokia N95's Lifeblog feature lets you view, search, edit, and share your personal digital content with ease. Lifeblog's synchronizing software automatically pulls your media together into an easy-to-browse, searchable multimedia diary: SMS, MMS, images, videos, sounds, and text notes stay organized between the N95 and your PC. GPS Mapping
Plan your route, find your way home, and get to know places you've never visited with the integrated GPS mapping capability. The Maps application includes maps for more than 100 countries, enabling you to explore the world, find specific routes or locate services such as restaurants and hotels and covering more than 15 million points of interest. You can also purchase additional features, such as city guides and voice guided navigation. Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map
View web pages as they were originally intended with the integrated Nokia Web Browser, which enables you to zoom out to a full screen view of the entire page using the Mini Map feature. Find the section you want and then zoom in to the content you need. The text instantly adjusts to the size of your screen. The browser also keeps a history of your browsing so you can quickly get back to where you started. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology means that the Nokia N95 will discover, interact with, and control other compatible home electronic devices. This includes PCs, media centers, home entertainment systems, new smart appliances, home automation systems, networked peripherals, and Web-based services. With compatible equipment, you can stream video from your Nokia device directly to your TV, or hear music tracks stored on your PC through your living room's sound system. RealPlayer Multimedia Playback
Take your media with you when you're out on the go. With the built-in RealPlayer software, you can stream and download your favorite content onto the N95, giving you access to the latest news, sports, and entertainment updates. Or sync up with your PC and play the music and movies stored on your hard drive. Vital Statistics
The Nokia N95 weighs 4.25 ounces and measures 3.9 x 2.1 x 0.83 inches. Its 950 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of GSM talk time (2.7 hours using 3G networks), and up to 225 hours of digital standby time. This quad-band phone runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies, as well as the 850/1900 UMTS (WCDMA) 3G frequencies in the United States.

 Bluetooth problems August 23, 2008
Colonel Canby (Seattle, WA USA)
The phone is great, except ... bluetooth connectivity is incompatible with many devices. Car kits are a problem, and my phone will not connect with my Pioneer Premiere car receiver. I've read of problems with BMW factory car kits as well. Nokia acknowledges the incompatibility with Pioneer and says "tough toenails, we don't support third party enhancements." Automatic connection with a Jabra BT8040 earpiece won't work either, although manual connections seem to work OK. So if bluetooth connectivity is an issue, buy something else.
Nothing else to add August 3, 2008
arturo W (Panama City, Panama)
Nothing else to add, to what have already been said and announced on the description.
In my personal opinion, it is a great phone and would have 5 stars if it had little and small software and physical upgrades like the n73. For example, the main camera, i agree it wont beat your PnS but i do not care about this 'cuz am a professional photographer, but come on for the amount of money we are paying for this phone should have a cover on the back to protect it (if you are buying the US version at least it doesnt has), and on the software area, i really miss the sleep mode from the n73, it could be annoying for some people but for me, i like it cuz it saves a little more battery.
On this subject, i do not know why people complains so much, if you dont have WiFi, GPS, GPRS and pretend to get rid of your iPod with this, of course the battery wont last at all. Since i own this phone has last me playing with all its functions for 3 days, and withouth playing with it almost 6 whole days. So, it's up to you.
I havent had any gps lock problems, wifi and gprs both work fine, google applications works fine too. Native web browser works good too (you can add another one if you like but the main one does its job). mp3 player and video quality are good.
the one i bought comes with software version 11.0 something, be sure to upgraded to 20.0 something as soon as you received it before makin any setups or contacts so you dont have to do backups or anything like that so you dont get bored wasting time.
the micro sd it came with was 1gb, i quickly change it for a 4gb and works good enough.
i do recommend using your phone as soon as you receive it because the battery comes with some charge already, so use that charge while you start to know your phone, once you are done i also recommend charging it for the first time switched off and for around 5 hours, its a lie you need 12 hours to charge it and even more a myth you need 24 hours.
other than that just have fun with your new phone
 Have everything under the sun but it is still lacking... July 30, 2008
T. Ngo (Brooklyn, NY)
I tried it for a few days (more like a weekend) and I had to return it. Although it has everything underneath the sun in terms of technology it was still below my standards due to
- The phone shut down by itself on Saturday so I didn't get my 8AM alarm to wake. At least the iphone will try to reboot when it crashes
- The phone drained it's battery completely on Sunday when it was fully charged the night before. I was left w/o any phone to use Sunday morning.
- The OS is quite slow and laggy at times
- T9 input still isn't my cup of tea
- iTunes sync allowed me to only sync one playlist and with no way rate songs and sync it back to iTunes
- The web browser was faster in 3G but still seemed slow overall in rendering webpages
- When connecting it would sometimes ask me whether I wanted to use the 3G or wifi. This should be automatic
- Even though A2DP was supported the sound from the blue tooth headset was muffled compared to my wired headphones. I'm not sure if this is due to A2DP or the Bluetooth headset. Maybe this is why iPhone didn't support A2DP?
- Obviously there's also the user interface which took quite a few more clicks to get to another place
- Video recording felt like the lens was made of water and the 5MB pictures are substandard even in very brightly lit environments.
- Installing 3rd party apps was a pain if it wasn't signed with a certificate.
A very good value for money and very open phone platform July 27, 2008
Nilanjan (Somerset, NJ United States)

Firstly let me start with the biggest plus of the N95 - its opennness and unlocked nature.
Everyone now seems to compare every phone with the iPhone ...
so here goes
N95 is unlocked - free unbridled unlocked goodness
- (for people like me who often travel abroad this is a huge plus for not having to beg your service provider to please unlock your phone that you paid money for.
N95 has a replaceable battery - means additional life for your phone and you won't have to discard a high-end device when your low-end battery inside dies - compare that to the iphone.
N95 is a open development platform - for techy users and everyone else also - this means more apps developed free for this platform (S60) rather than other closed and locked down platforms.
N95 supports bluetooth tethering to laptops and PDA's. I use my Nokia N810 Internet tablet to connect wirelessly by tethering over Bluetooth to my N95 high speed HSDPA data connection. This means I get fast internet connectivity everywhere - everywhere there is a cell tower at least.
For those less in the know iPhone doesnt support tethering.
N95 has support for A2DP Bluettoth profile - which means you can listen to Stereo music over a bluetooth headphone (like the Motorola S9). This is apart from support bluetooth headset for talking.
For iPhone users , in todays wireless day, you still have to use a wired headphone to listen to music - pretty messy.
N95's 5 MP camera is one of the best of breed in any cellphone - quality wise of photos.
N95-3 has one of the fastest 3G HSDPA data connection support in the US. (iphone 3g does have this too)
Also the Wifi and GPS in the N95 come is handy when you need those features instantly.
As a in-car GPS it certainly does not fit the bill, but when walking in the streets of NY, and you suddenly need to get some info or directions - GPS and the Wifi come in most useful.
For me having a good quality camera for instant shots (instead of caring a dedicated camera always) and the USA 3G HSDPA is what convinced me to go for the Nokia N95 over other similar featured phones (iPhone is definitely not similar featured - its a different class for me).
On a comparatove note the Nokia N78, E71, N82 and Samsung G series are comparable devices depending on which feature set you lay more importance on.
And for those who find the camera slow - please update the software with the latest N95 firmware that Nokia released recently - it speeds up the camera a lot and also some other features.
The battery on my new Nokia N95-3 lasts 1 1/2 day with HSDPA 3,5G usage in NY/NJ area and I use it daily to tether to my N810 device (which gives me touchscreen internet).
