Written on: 03/04/2011
Absloutely love this phone. Had it for over 2 years and had the original N95 with a 4gb card. Ther sound quality is BETTER THAN AN iPhone! My friend has an iPhone and we plyed the exact same song together and my phone was sooo much better. Because I'm a lazy guy and can't be bothered to go and buy an iPod I use it for music and have found that the best eature on the whole phone was the slide out music area. MINDBLOWING. I have owned iPhone 3GS & 4, BBerry Torch 9800, SErricson Satio,... (read more)

I have owned the Nokia N95 8GB for the past year, the phone is excellent overall however does have some flaws...
- Poor battery life (Needs charging almost daily)
- Bulky Design (Creates a noticeable bulge in coats/pockets)
- Slow USB transfer speeds (Copying 5GB of music takes around 2 hours)
- Slow response times (Opening Menus, Messages, Music, etc.. you will notice quite a lot of lag)
I wouldn't recommend this phone for personal use, its more of a 'business' phone - their are cheaper...

N95 8Gb, the first 5 Mega Pixel camera phone manufactured by Nokia.
From listening to music, watching videos, Wi-Fi, a 5-megapixel camera, to finally GPS Navigation - Nokia's N95 does it all.
It also helps in browing the internet and i even use it for chatting. install applications like Fring and do voice chatting. so it reduces headaches of buying or using headhone and mic. It does much more than that.
Amazing battery life, and the awesome wide screen size of 2.8 inch makes it easier to...

I have been a loyal Nokia client for the last 10 years and only had one other phone (A Motorola) because of their great features and reliability. However the Nokia N95 8Gb has let me down horribly because of the worst batery life I've experienced in a cellphone, software freezes, a barcode reader that don't work, a GPS system that can locate street names from 12000km away but not 5km away (by the way the GPS signal is unreliable and don't think you can retain signal for more than 20min), its...

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 Nokia n95 8gb and wow simply brilliant.

Bought the Nokia N95 from phones4u bout 7 months ago on Vodafone. Generally a great all-rounder smart phone, all features conveniently packed into one matt finish phone. Didnt give me problems until 3 months ago when I installed a couple of maps on it for Nokia Maps. It seems the phone prefers to run smoothly with just the bare essentials when it comes to software. And then came the dreaded "Start-up failed, Contact Retailer'' I used the phone via Data Transfer to upload a couple a pics as... (read more)

Nice stylish looking phone. Big screen. Perfect for texting. I just love it. It is the best phone I have ever owned and I have had quite a lot of mobile phones over the years. It was great to have
A keyboard.
After recently having a touch screen phone, it was to nice to have
A keyboard for texting again. In my opinion touch screens are not really suitable for texting. It made me so frustrated. So pleased to get back to normal again. Thank you Nokia, I will stay with your phones from now on....

For everyone who complains about battery life, size of the phone etc, buy a mobile phone. The Nokia N95 8GB isn't a mobile phone, it's a smartphone and the rest. Its a camcorder, music player, camera, portable computer/web browser, satnav oh, and a phone too! I have this phone through O2 with a data usage bolt on which really brings the phone to life, don't even consider it without a data tariff! I post to my Flickr, check my emails etc with ease.

Top quality camera, I no longer use my digital camera which cost me £425. I have taken photographs in all light conditions and this is brilliant, comes with a usb cable which i do direct printing with my Epson R300 printer at A4 the pictures are perfect.

I got the Nokia N95 8GB as a free upgrade on the 3 Network complete with the entire Spiderman 3 film already loaded.
My previous phone was an N73 which was atrocious & wouldn't send messages after only owning it for 6-7 months.
So far with this phone, no major problems although when I first had it, it constantly had problems reading the SIM & for some reason if I didn't use the phone for about an hour would come up with "SIM Registration Failure" which mean pulling the battery out & giving...

The Nokia N95 8GB is a great phone with too many features to list. Might seem a bit pricey but it's well worth it. The best feature would have to be the WI-FI. I've never had to pay for internet or check email on this phone. There's always free WI-FI somewhere; home, work, collage, pubs, around the city. Some people say it might be a little slow but it get's faster when you update it's firmware (highly recommended) (read more)

Written on: 12/04/2008 by Robert Halfon (1 review written)
This is truly a remarkable phone. The old N95 was full of flaws and the battery life was ludicrously low. The N95 8gig is a fantastic piece of kit and does what it says on the tin. Every feature, such as music, pictures and internet works really well. The battery life is much improved also. The next version should have a qwerty keyboard to make it a real computer. Nevertheless, I can imagine having this phone a long long time, with no real need to upgrade. (read more)

Has everything you need in a smartphone. With a data plan (I use 3's X-Series) you can sync your calendar, emails, notes and everything with your PC.
I'm pleased with this phone, apart from the odd niggle with the software which will no doubt be sorted with future firmware releases. Looks better than the original N95, quite retro, which suits me.

I have progressed to the N95 8Gb from the Nokia N80 and the Nokia N95 so I am very familiar with the phone and it's features. The N95 8Gb is so good I can't really imagine needing anything else. It does everything a normal phone does - call, SMS, MMS, etc.(sounds obvious but the i Phone doesn't!). I have found reception, call quality texting, etc. works perfectly. Battery life is much better than the N80 and also better than the N95. I do generally charge the N95 8Gb once a day but I use... (read more)

I have had this phone for about 3 weeks. My previous phone was an 8800, so this means two things so far, a) I am really impressed with the fact there are so many features compared with a regular phone, and b) while not being as classy in its materials (steel + glass vs plastic) or aesthetic minimalism, I can actually accept the appearance of this phone as a replacement for my old 8800.

I found this review helpful as it was not overly dramatic in its praise - when I am considering buying a phone I want to know the problems too, which always exist. I would have liked a little more technical comment regarding his experiences, for example exact times of battery, even his own estimation.
