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 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/HSDPA), 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 N95-4) has an internal 8 GB memory, and it doesn't include a MicroSD expansion slot. 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. Phone Features
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 N95 slides two ways to reveal a phone keypad (top) and media controls (bottom). | 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 (CIF resolution, 352 x 288). The main camera on the back of the N95 supports an image capture resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels. (Note that the low-resolution camera on the front can provide two-way video calling; however, at this time no U.S. carrier offers this service.) You can use both cameras to take still pictures and record videos. Images are 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 2.8-inch QVGA 16 million color display, impressive 3D graphics, built-in stereo speakers offering a 3D stereo effect, standard 3.5 mm audio jack, and mini USB for convenient data transfer. Other highlights include 802.11b/g Wi-Fi with WPA2/WPA security, Bluetooth v2.0 connectivity, and 8 GB 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 (8 GB, N95-4) weighs 4.55 ounces and measures 3.9 x 2.1 x 0.83 inches. Its 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of GSM talk time (3.5 hours when using the 3G network), and up to 280 hours of standby time. This quad-band phone runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies, as well as the 850/1900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA 3G frequencies (for use in the United States).

 I bought this for ONE reason November 27, 2008
I bought this phone over 9 months ago for one particular reason. I installed Slingbox Mobil on it and linked it to my Slingbox so I get live TV on the phone and whatever I get on my TV at home I get on this phone. As long as I have strong upload speeds on my home DSL service the picture is exceptional. I like all the other features of the phone, the camera is fabulous, it is very good as a phone, works well on the WEB and I do not find it too thick although it would be nice if it were thinner. BUT whenever someone sees my TV they are blown away by the concept and the quality of the picture and the sound. The coolest moment was the Monday playoff of this year's US Open (Tiger against Rocco and a broken leg). I had to play in a pro-am golf tournament that day and while everyone was trying to find out how the playoff was going - I got to WATCH it LIVE. Amazing.
More then I expected! November 23, 2008
I am very happy with my Nokia N95 8GB phone.
As the title says MORE THEN I EXPECTED!
I would like to take a moment to thank Amazon for
quick and courteous service.
OK. My review...
First of all the phone itself is excellent. both on and
off speaker phone. It is loud and clear. sometimes even
better quality then a land line.
Second is the music and video players. The player that
comes with the phone is great but, if you want more
diversity with different codec's try Core video player.
You can find it on most symbian forums.
People compare this phone to the iphone and, thats fine.
I've owned both now and, have to say that there are
more application and other items you can get on the N95
then the iphone...and as far as I'm concerned the call
quality is so much better with the Nokia.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate this phone a solid 9 because
of it's quirks. Being able to charge via usb is one and, with
most smart phone an occasional unscheduled reboot.
But, even with it's minor drawbacks its a phone I use in many
ways everyday and, will continue in the future.
Thank You
 Great phone - but pray that is doesn't malfunction!! October 30, 2008

I've had N95-8GB for less than two months now. From day 1, had issues with charger pin not charging properly (need to play around a bit for it to start charging). The features of the phone are awesome - but you need to be really tech. savvy, which I luckily am. The phone is really bulky and the two-way slides isn't all that comfortable (slides when keeping in the pocket)
Over a period of time, the N95-8GB started acting really flaky and eventually, the phone would reboot by itself. Some problem with the power switch. I sent the phone back to Nokia for repair. The online status first showed - 'Waiting for parts' and then, after a few days they simply shipped the phone back saying it has corrosion!! The phone has never been wet, so I don't understand how could there be corrosion. I smell something fishy - maybe they didn't have parts so they are making this up!
When I called customer support, the rep said that the phone can catch corrosion by keeping it in the pocket or from humidity (I live in Chicago, close to lake Michigan)!! I was shocked with this response. Nokia expects that men won't keep the phone in the pocket?? Anyway, spoke to a couple reps and even a supervisor, but they simply refused to repair the phone. This is just pathetic customer service. Nokia just lost a faithful customer and an avid marketer of their product - for the last 10+ years, I've only used Nokia phones - I guess it's time to switch manufacturers!!
New buyers - BEWARE. As long as your phone doesn't go bad, your fine. If it does, be prepared to dump your investment.
Almost a year with this beauty October 8, 2008

I dont want to add much to already reviewed feautures.I bought this phone in Nov 2007 and till now did not have single problem.
Meanwhile I tried iphone 3G, Motorazr2 V9 and Sony ericsson W580i... but now back to this powerful Nokia.
I use this for browsing,checking mails and everyday in Gym as a music device. Battery is really good, and reception exceptional.
 Nokia 8Gig N95-4: Multimedia Portability Redefined October 4, 2008
Pros: Great 5 mega pixel digital camera. Video quality will pleasantly surprise you, its DVD quality and 8 Gig will let you make never ending videos. Phone comes YouTube ready, you can Skype or Google talk to save minutes where ever you have wifi after. Phone can handle high speed applications at about 450 kbps download speed, absolutely no problem with streaming videos. Mp3 player quality is as good as apple. Multimedia keys, on the top slider are very convenient to operate mp3 and video. In short true phone which will make you rest your Ipod, digital camera, video camera and old phone. Never seen a phones speaker so loud. Best phone available in market for gaming. Phone is actually not as big as it looks in the images.
Cons: GPS is ridiculous, I live in San Francisco, phone does not catch signals at most of the places, and it just says searching signals. I hate the Nokia Hands free, because it comes with a remote control connected to hands free wire, which makes it inconvenient to carry. Iphone hand free is much better. The slot to insert hands free is poorly designed, it should have been on the top or bottom of the phone, hands free jack is on the left side of the phone, which make it inconvenient when you place the phone in your pocket. Nokia maps did not impress me. I downloaded Google maps, its free and much better. It takes forever to copy music to N95 as it first converts the Mp3 to some other format.
Overall: I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, except with the GPS of the phone. If you think N95 will rest your gps as it will your IPods, digital and video camera, then you are wrong. Phone`s processor is fast and multimedia features are colossal.
