Nokia N95
Product Rating   
Nokia N95 ReviewRating:
Date: 23/11/2007
The Nokia N95 is Nokia's most feature-rich phone so far. Perhaps surprisingly, considering its high cost, it's been at the top of the best seller chart for much of 2007, proving the public's appetite for technology. The N95 is a 3G Symbian smartphone, and incorporates a huge range of functionality. Top of the list must be the GPS satellite navigation: the N95 is the first phone in the UK to have this feature built in. Secondly, the camera is one of the very best available in a mobile phone. It's a 5 megapixel camera equipped with autofocus, digital zoom and LED flash. It is also capable of high quality video recording and video calling. The LCD display is large (2.6 inches) and is capable of displaying up to 16 million colours. As you'd expect, the N95 includes features such as a media player, FM radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, speaker independent voice dialling for genuine handsfree use, email support, a web browser and quadband. It also has some more advanced features: HSDPA provides accelerated 3G access at broadband speeds, and WLAN support lets you connect wirelessly to a computer or to a WiFi mobile hotspot. Memory is not a problem: the N95 4GB supports memory cards up to 4 Gbytes, whilst the N95 8GB has a massive 8 Gbytes of memory. There are 4 reasons why the N95 doesn't get a full 5 stars from us: 1) it isn't as user-friendly as an average phone and demands more from the user; 2) it's large and heavy; 3) the buttons are rather small; and 4) battery life is less than average. No phone is perfect and the advantages have to be weighed against the disadvantages. There can be no doubt that if you can put up with its faults, the N95 offers more than any other phone currently on the market.
Features of the Nokia N95 include:
- 3G
- Smartphone S60 3.1 software on Symbian OS, Built-in GPS
- Camera: 5 megapixels (2592 x 1944 pixels), autofocus, Carl Zeiss optics, Tessar lens, integrated flash, 10x digital zoom
- Video Camera: MPEG-4/3GP VGA video capture (640 x 480 pixels) at up to 30 fps with stereo audio, 4x digital zoom / Second CIF (352 x 288) camera for 2-way video calling, Movie director for automated video production
- Display: 2.6 inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) TFT display with ambient light detector and up to 16 million colours
- Music Player: supports MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAC+/WMA/M4A with playlists and equalizer / Stereo FM radio with Visual Radio
- Java Games
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Infrared, wireless LAN (802.11 b/g), 3.5 mm stereo headphone plug and TV out
- Memory: Up to 160 MB internal dynamic memory, Expandable memory - 2 GB microSD memory cards
- Messaging: SMS, MMS
- Internet: WCDMA 2100 (HSDPA) with simultaneous voice and packet data (PS max speed UL/DL= 384/3.6MB, CS max speed 64kbps)

- Operating Frequency: WCDMA2100 (HSDPA), EGSM900, GSM850/1800/1900 MHz (EGPRS)
- Size: 99 x 53 x 21 mm
- Weight: 120 g

Still up there with the best of todays smartphones in my opinion, I had an HTC Desire for a month and went back to my 95 as the desire had a (single) weedy speaker and a screen you can't see in daylight. As long as you're not an app addict the 95 is all the smartphone you'll need, just debrand it, put the latest firmware on, (version 35 was released by nokia at the end of 09) get yourself a big memory card and a sim only plan with a generous data allowance and you're sorted. People complained about battery life on the 95 but with modern phones not even lasting a day the 95 will last 2 with fair to moderate use plus you can see the screen in sunlight and the speakers are really loud. Also why don't android phones turn themselves on when you set an alarm? The 95 does! As I said I had a desire which this site said was the most impressive phone they'd seen, and went back to the 95, on which I'm currently writing this review. So for a 5 year old piece of technology there 's still nothing i'd swap it for, so much for progress lol

A robust and trusty phone for the 18 months I've had it from 3. A lot of features and applications that I haven't used but it's a great working phone for a journalist on the go and superb for pics and vids of a publishing and broadcast quality. It's even survived being knocked about and dropped on the pavement! The N95 may be long gone from the phone shops but for anyone looking for a reliable mobile with lots on board, it's just the job.

My old man is still using my N95 8GB black mobile. Have a quick look again and it really is a great mobile, Onboard GPS is ok and its a feels very plastic but its solid, has great apps, easy to use and sound quality is still very good. 5mp camera and video is also very good. I think the silver phone was a disaster and finally fixed but the Black 8GB should have come out first and it would have been a big hit. I think having it on the same silver platform will bring marks down as it still is a great mobile.

It is OK. Sometimes it freezes and it takes forever to turn on. Sometimes, when listening to music, the volume buttons freeze and I can not change the volume of the song. However it has a brilliant camera, but no frames, to take amusing photos - I was quite dissapointed. If the phone is dropped, it becomes scratched easily, and it is not that easy to find cases for the phone. It has some amazing features, but on the other hand, I do wish I could have some different features on the phone.

This was a step up from Nokia E65, the N95 8GB. Great menu, modifications by user, loud speakers, video image was great, big screen, nice buttons, slider was not so tight but worked well (I have a thig about rattly sliders on earlier nokia ranges). The camera was great, video recording very good. Lots of Apps, Wifi, Bluetooth, easy to use. Video/movie/music playback was great. Nokia maps was free and easy to use. Could use 3.5mm headset. Calls were reliable and good battery performance. Has to be one of my faves and my old man has it now and loves it. I think a better battery-wait every phone could have better batteries lol. I really can't say a downside as mine never crashed. Maybe the slider could have better build quality with a glass screen.

I think that Nokia must have made loads of duff phones because I have no idea how anyone would rate it less than 4 star? I feel sorry for anyone that has got a duff one because you're missing out... I think it is absolutely brilliant! For the first couple of weeks I had my doubts on such an expensive phone as it kept crashing, however, it's stopped and now is what i think everything a phone should be. Ok it doesn't have a touch screen but it really doesn't need it, brilliant Carl Zeiss camera, large screen, great sound quality, it's everything a phone should be! Trust me

Even with all the new flashy phones Nokia are bringing out, this 3 year old barge still just about keeps up. Sure, it does'nt have touchscreen, and the battery life is a little weak, but it can do practically everything else the Nokia 5800 can (which I now use) and will definately keep it as a back up phone or when I need a decent knockabout camera.

I have the N95 8GB that I use now, but this review is for the N95. The major complaints about the N95 were battery life, software crashes and lack of internal memory RAM, so multitasking was limited. Believe it or not on both mobiles there is now a new firmware/software, even though these phones are no longer distributed in Europe! Mine is now European software version 35.0.0.2 and could not be better. When I use my N95 now it is like a whole new phone compared to when I bought it a couple of years ago. Battery life is significantly better, and multi-tasking is now much more feasible and actually usable. I would still recommend the N95-8GB model ove the N95, but if you want a cheap smartphone or have an N95 sitting in a drawer, just get it and update the firmware. You will be pleasantly surprised! I would say that I think although it is good of Nokia to update the software on this phone regularly, it should have left the factory with the software O/S that has only been available for the last 18 months. Only NOW is this a great phone!

The N95 8GB is very different to the original N95 - many areas of the hardware and styling are redesigned. The N95 8GB has so much RAM (working memory) that you can run a huge amount of applications simultaneously with no problems at all! 3.5mm headphone jack, podcast application, 802.11g wireless connectivity, great music player, great GPS with FREE Nokia voice navigation as of last week, and a whole host of 3rd party applications than run, really make the N95 8GB a brilliant phone to buy. If you don't want a modern touchscreen, and want better VoIP in-built SIP/H323 functionality then this is the phone for you, and best of all it's cheaper on auction websites than it's newer cousins. The 5megapixel camera is as good as you can get or expect from a phone. Don't be fooled by larger megapixel numbers, that just means a bigger picture, it does NOT mean a better 'quality' of picture, which is surely what you care about, right? The original n95 is not as good in comparison to the N95 8GB which only comes in black, so many of the complaints here regarding the original n95 are TOTALLY INVALID! You should remember the N95 8GB came out at the height of economic success, so components are superb. If you compare this to the N96 or N85 with 'cheaper' components and casing, you'll see the N95 8GB is still popular with those "in the know." Fully recommended phone, with great battery life. Keep in mind that if you use 802.11g wireless connectivity or GPS on any mobile phone (or laptop, think about it...) the battery runs down quicker. But even with maximum heavy usage you'll get over 1 day out of this phone. With normal usage, 3 days is easy. A great buy!

Three n95's within 12 months all phones well looked after, the third one faulty within a month , this was 2 weeks before the 12 month warranty ran out which ran from the first phone, these phones had also been away on numerous occasions to be fixed. If Nokia can't give 12 months warranty on a new phone it means that the product is garbage and us fools are paying big money for Nokia's mistakes. I was under the impression that these later models were advancements but it turns out they are just expensive mistakes replacing previous mistakes.

Found it a pain to use from the day I got it. Knew within 5 minutes it was not user friendly, in SA you can't return a phone to service provider if you have opend the box. After 18 months still regularly have to redo actions as the menu does not respond to basic logic. The phone has now also started hanging or switching off by itself when it the handset gets too hot, not only from use but external factors as well. Voice/reception clarity has also diminished over the 18 months.

I first got this phone two and a half years ago - 2007, and used it for two years solidly. More recently, I bought an N97 and used that for four months. Want to know which phone I'm using now? The N95. THis is a solid solid phone. Great telephony, great media, great applications . As far as I'm concerned, it beats the N97 ( at least til the N97 gets v2.0 FW upgrade ). Also, the N95 8GB does not have a memory card slot, so get the N95 as this will run a Micro SD car up to 16gb ( provided you have the latest FW ) . Honestly, it's so good to use after the N97, I'd give it 6 stars....

Interesting that many people report crashes. I've had mine for a year now, and I am delighted with it. The phone has not crashed once, and I use all features - camera, video, GPS (for car satnav and cycling)), MP3, email, text...oh..and for calling people! I wonder if the crashing problems are related to the bastardised firmware which some operators (3, Orange etc) put on the phone to personalise it to their network - I say this after a 6 month nightmare with an Orangified N70 - never again. Mine is a bog standard Nokia factory phone on O2, and it works 100%. I have an N96 which the phone company sent me, but it's sitting in its box. I feel no need to change, this phone does all I need, and I am happy.

My N95 was purchased in NZ on December 1, 2008, and from about 2 months old suffered from these problems: Phone suddenly freezes and the screen goes grey, button lights on but keypad lights off. At this time I cannot switch the phone off, notice overheating of the battery and case, and the phone will not charge. Phone must be left off overnight before it will restart. The clock stops at the time of the freeze. After restarting, text messages often disappear as they are received. Pressing the numeric keys sometimes causes the phone to restart during times of apparently normal operation. Video playback causes freezing. These symptoms can occur up to 3 times per day, the phone operating for only 3 or 4 hours in any 24 hour period. The symptoms become more frequent as time passes. New parts were fitted (AUK014847) as below at NokiaCare June 11 2009, but the symptoms started to reappear after about a week. No restore was carried out after the repair, nor applications installed: Part code: 0269756 Slide unit assembly including cable UI BD, [A3-A4] 4850074 LCD AM TFT a-Si 240x320 COG Frank I have given up on the phone now, and gone back to old SonyEricssons. NokiaCare in NZ and Malaysia are full of apologies but there is not a remedy in sight. But it is worse than that!!! These are the same symptoms that I experience with my other N95, purchased September 20, 2008, in China. The problems started in early November just after my return to NZ, the phone just 6 weeks old but it could not be replaced as I had left the country. When I returned last December to Jiangsu Province, where I bought the phone, I returned the phone to the Nokia Care shop for repair. After 4 repair attempts over two months the problems remain, again getting worse. NokiaCare in NZ have refused to repair the Chinese phone as they offer no global support. They are my first Nokia phones, and I must say that Sony Ericsson and Samsung have proven much more reliable over the past 15 years.

I bought Nokia N95 on Nov 2007, it was okay for a year. After the 12mos warranty, the phone crashes all the time. Took them to Nokia Care and was advised that my phone was unrepairable and unupgradable to the latest software. Nokia care told me that it is still okay to use. All right, after six mos. My phone freezes after receiving a call and have to reset or reboot all the time. So, the most trusted brand (what they say!) is not really a very good brand after all. In addition to my problem with this phone, the battery cover has been damaged due to constant removal of battery (just to shut the little machine)and now seems that blue tack is putting them on together. Where can I get a battery cover and have this phone fix?

This phone is good for me as i love music and you can download music and stuff but i hate it when the battery runs down. But over all i think it is a excellent phone, and the camera is magnificent.

Shocked to read so many negative comments about the N95. Though having said that, my current phone is my third, after having the first two replaced very early. But since getting my current handset 18 months ago, there's been no looking back. In fact, the problem besetting the N96 means I'm not going to bother upgrading, especially as I can't get the N86 on Tmobile. My advice would be to get the 86 if you can.

I am appauled by the standards of the n95 4 gb mobile as i am on my third one. This phone is a liability. It must not be placed in handbags or coat pockets. The reason behind this is they are ever so fragile! My first Nokia n95 smashed across the screen, the volume button fell apart, the back casing broke, it needed charging every day, it froze on a daily basis and often whilst i have been using my Camera tool the whole phone simply used to restart itself. Meanwhile the second Nokia n95 i'd went to another Nokia shop in Manchester and i'd still been suffering with the same problems. Although i placed my phone in my handbag went out for a meal, came back and my phone had a few cracks on from one side of the phone to another and i cannot see the screen at all that is blank black! Yet i can still play music on it. I am now having to pay yet another £60 to have it fixed and i shall be selling the phone on to buy something less dangerous!

Poor phone, the performance is terrible, there are programming errors on the menu and camera and the memory is the slowest kind, the media buttons break quickly to lower the chances of selling it over 2nd hand and the battery indicator is locked to FULL untill after 70% battery to give you a false sense that the battery is outstanding. I will never choose nokia in the future. I thought sony ericsson was bad, then I tried nokia and they failed my tests! Keep away from nokia, poor hardware at huge prices

I have to say that the N95 is the best phone by a mile of all phones ive had since 1988. Ive just gone through my second one (damaged beyond repair through an accident with a digger) As a bloke with big fingers and thumbs i found the 95 keyboard easy to use especially with the ridge on the keys, huge screen and brilliant camera. very good as a web phone and easy to get round. Unfortunately o2 have decided in their wisdom (yeh right) that they are not supplying any more and none of their shops have any stock.

When (and IF?) it works, the N95 "does all it says on the tin!". When/IF it isn't malfunctioning, locking itself, freezing, failing to respond to key presses and so forth... the N95 is more than just a phone - even if I do only use < 5% of its functions! HOWEVER... The battery life is by far THE ABSOLUTE *WORST* I have ever experienced with any mobile phone - EVER! With below average use, it still requires re-charging < 24 hours. Also, ongoing software problems (which need me to continually ring up seeking advice on how to resolve a specific problem or reset everything!)... is a real pain in the derriere! A shame really because, like I say, when it is working properly, the N95 is awesome. Anyway right now I am seriously contemplating going back to Sony Ericsson next time around...???

I love my Nokia N95 but it both handsets I have had have failed due to water damage although they have not be exposed to water! The only thing I can think of is that it is caused by the perspiration from my face - sounds unpalateable and I am am not an overtly 'glowing' person but it is all I can think of. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had the problem, which of course is not covered by the warranty! I do love the functionality - when they do work.

Love most of the features but needing to use headset to listen to the radio is plain silly when you can listen to downloads through the speakers. Also not very water resistant.

Well I've had it for 18 months with no problems at all but I foolishly decided that as it was the end of my contract with O2 I'd get an iphone 3G s. Purchased it Sunday afternoon and took it back Monday morning! A real let-down; no bluetooth connection to other phones, ringtones (including music) restricted to 28s and only available through itunes for money, the only attachments to email allowed are pics or notes from the phone, no flash/light for the camera. I could go on. I realized that Apple are just con artists and I now know the N95 rocks. God bless Nokia. May look at an N97 as and when.

I’ve had the N95 8gb for about a year now, and I’m sorry to say it’s the WORST phone I have owned. I got it to replace the N90 (second worst phone I owned). I have had problems with the N95 from day one. It crashes several times a day, meaning I have to remove the battery to turn it back on. This can happen a few times an hour. The keys seem very slow to act when you press them, sometimes they dont seem to work at all. I do have to admit that the phone is impressive when it works for me. The screen is superb, and very clear. The memory is fantastic, I no longer need a seperate MP3 as the N95 stores more than enough music. Its just a shame that it’s the music player that seems to crash the most. If anyone was thinking of buying a N series phone from Nokia, I would have to advise them against it, as the two I have had (N90 & N95) have been very disapointing. It’s even put me off buying another Nokia phone. Sorry Nokia!

Wow! what can i say, this phone is absolutly brilliant! I normally tend to get drawn in by the more over fancy looking phones but this time i decided to go with a recommendation and get the n95 8gb and wow simply brilliant. Packed with features and very easy to use. The music software is very easy to use and don't you don't need a computer science degree to use. Initially I didnt think it was a particularly good looking phone and to be honest i thought i was abit on the chunky side but not long after having the phone the looks have grown on me an as for the size i think its perfect especially for texting and general operation. I can't see myself trading this in so some time 5 star all the way!

I've had my N95 for 18 months now and I can't find myself a new one with better features and functionality than my current handset. It is one of the best phones on the market to date in terms of its features. My only issues with it are the fact I've had 3 replacements (all software relataed) and I have to go through 2 fully charged batteries daily. I've also noticed its not the best phone for surving when dropped so I wouldn't pick it if you drop your phone. Overall I think it's a great all rounder. If you can put up with the few drawbacks it is perfect for your every need.

By now you should have either had this phone a while or are about to pick it up second hand. Either way, now's the time to spend £15-£20 taking it to your local independent phone shop. Get it completely restored to standard Nokia software rather than whatever custom operator rubbish is holding it back. Do this and you'll get a great camera, ultra fast location finding on google maps, non-stuttering internet radio and access to iplayer in the UK. Kicks the ass of the n96 without an upgrade. Now get a sim only deal and and save a fortune. There's no better hardware out there yet.

i had this phone for 18 months and it was absolutely brilliant! so many useful features and a lovely big screen. very quick response wise and incredibly user friendly. only negatives i can say are that it used to switch off when it got too cold (i.e. if u are outside in very cold temperatures like 2 or 3 degrees for extended periods of time) and it wouldnt come back on again until it warmed up. also it did crash 2 or 3 times in the 18 months and it switched itself off about once a month! oh and also it totally lost all its power once when it was about 15 months old and i had to get it repaired but even with these negaatives i still loved it! i just upgraded to a nokia 6220 classic which has all the same features but is smaller, so we'll see how it goes!

The N95 is a good phone but is definatly not worth the money! the screen on mine has broke which to be fair is my own fault but N95s are known for there weak screens. Mine has also stopped sending text messages and the guy in the shop said it has forgotten how to send texts i think this is unacceptable. i got mine on contract, but it is not worth paying for it on pay as you go. although the cameras brilliant and the phone is very loud there is not alot of memory on the silver one so you do need to get a memory card

I lost my N95, and have been lost without it, I am in the process of trying to slect a new phone, but none other than the N95/N96 can offer the same capabilities (he others are always missing something!!!)... I insisted on a 12 month contract when I got it cause I got so bored of my last phone... Needn't have bothered, I had it for 12 months in the end... And I am thinking maybe I should go ahead and upgrade, and commit to another 12 months with it.... The camera is great, the video quality superb for a little phone, and plugs straigt into your tele, which is a hoot afetr a night out. I miss my phone, and can not recomend it enough to people... Just rememeber to back up the pictures you take on it's huge memory...
