Nokia N95 8GB Comes with Music Now On Three


After watching the overwhelming response to the Nokia N95, its makers decided to improve on the original best seller and bring out a much more precise, sexier and easy to use Nokia N95. Its out now on Three and is called the Nokia N95 8GB.

The phone that won so many hearts was now out, in a new and improved model.It was certainly a lot different with so many other mobile phones on the market, but what it was similar to them was that it too had some pros and some cons. Lets start with its features.

The Nokia N95 8GB is gifted with a larger screen as compared to its predecessors. The large screen obviously enhances the experience of surfing and using the handset, whether its listening to music, browsing the web, or opening files and documents in the Office pack. But with a larger screen, the navigation keys at the bottom have been shrivelled up. Though they aren't causing that much of a problem.

Now lets talk about the design. The design of the new N95 is something that did 50% of the job of winning the hearts. It comes in a stunningly sexy black case, which makes it so much more attractive. Thinking hypothetically, if the earlier version was available in the black case may be it would have done more business.

The camera slider is off now. Thats a good sign , considering the fact that often with the earlier version often the slider would accidentally activate the camera. The camera lenses are still the old Carl Zeiss and it remains a 5 Megapixel camera.

The s60 third edition operating system has become a little slow however. But the interface is much more precise, in the sense that all those functions and events that were not necessarily needed are out.
However the most significant change, that you woud actually draw from the name itself is the built in 8GB memory, excluding the system 100MB for phone book, messages, ringtones and other features. But the downfall of such an storage system is that there is no expandible slot and that it is not a removable media. To transfer data you need to use a data cable.

Also this phone comes with a amazing double slider system. That means that it has a slider at the back with multimedia buttons. Quite an innnovation, but again creating the problem of activating them by mistake if in a pocket.

The technical specifications include the following :

  • 3G HSDPA.
  • Wi-fi 802.11.
  • 1200 mAh Li-lon.
  • GPS
It also has the ability to operate in GPS 850, 900, 1800, 1900.

If compared to Apple iPhone , this is how the Nokia N95 8GB stands :
  • iPhone operates on the better MacOX operating system while N95 operates on the Sympian S60 3rd edition.
  • iPhone provides a 2MP camera resolution, while N95 provides a astounding 5MP.
  • iPhone uses Safari as web browser while N95 uses Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map. Safari being the better.
  • It displays HTML rich, IMAP, POP3, Push IMPAP for e-mail, while N95 uses only POP3,IMAP and SMTP.
  • iPhone is touchscreen enabled, N95 is not.
  • iPhone has a larger screen than N95.
  • iPhone doesn't support GPS.
  • And finally among the major differences iPhone doesn't have bluetooth A2DP.
