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.
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.

This includes PCs, media centers, home entertainment systems, new smart appliances, home automation systems, networked peripherals, and Web-based services.

When initially looking into purchasing the N95 I was planning on replacing a blackberry that I have been carrying around for years. I have been a blackberry user for some time and thought I would never find a better solution. I was wrong. This device does everything my blackberry did and then some. Granted the push email is a plus and the N95 does not support push out of the box (Checks at intervals) but there are some third party applications that add this. The beauty of the S60 platform is that you have the freedom to do what you want with pretty much anything on the device.
The N95 seems thick at first but its actually very small and extremely easy to carry in your pocket. I have actually learned to like the fill of the thickness more because it fits my hands perfectly. I have been using the qwerty keyboard on my blackberry for some time and can type very well on it so I was skeptical about going back to a phone keypad. While I am not as fast as I was on a blackberry the prediction is very good on this device and allows you to easily type short emails and text messages with no trouble.
Nokia states that this device is a multimedia computer and I have to agree its very powerful once you learn how to use it. Will it replace my iPod? Possibly but its not quit as a good as a standalone audio device. The music player is very easy to use and with the media transfer plugin (available for mac) you can use iTunes to sync your music just like you would an iPod. I was able to sync my address-books, contacts and music and videos in no time with the software available for download on Nokia's USA website.
My favorite feature of the N95 is the fact that I can take pictures/video (5MP camera) and post them to the web (flickr, OVI) all from the device. Being a family man this is a wonderful thing to have because I have have a great moment in our life up on the web with comments in a matter of minutes without ever needing a computer. The camera is very impressive for a phone. It takes a while to get used to getting good pictures with it but with a little practice you can take great shots with ease. I can't wait to see what Nokia comes up with next. The N series devices are the best hands done.
