I do like my nokia phone, especially since it came free with my contract. The GPS System was amazing at times when I got lost and with the internet functionality I could get Google Maps not to only pinpoint my position but also to show me the way to the pub where I was meeting my friends.
There are a few anooyances, as there always are, so for example it is too easy to send a text message by accident before it is finished or go into a different menu whilst you are typing.
Also I would like the ability to assign different sounds to different alarms, but few phones offer you that.
All in all, a good phone.

The Nokia N95 is a great phone.
Has a great camera, good internet.
Only complaint is battery life.
Would still recommend it. Just charge it every night.

In general I quite like the Nokia N95 phone, it has a good camera (even though it can be a bit slow at times), a good (from what I can tell) reception and I even found use for the in-built GPS (together with Google Maps), which has helped me prevent from getting lost on gooad a many occasion.
There are a few irritants though, for example it is easy to hit the wrong key and loose a message that you have just been typing, and it is not always possible to switch to the writing mode (Predictive, numbers etc) you want as it has its own ideas about what modes are suitable to which situation.
Still, I am quite happy with this phone and I use it instead of an MP3 player as well...

Have had the Nokia N95 for 18 months now. Its a great phone to have.
The phone as such works brilliantly, the standby time is good and requires less charging. But this phone is not just about the talking part of it, its the other things that make this phone great.
GPS: Have used this quite often. Especially when lost in the town centres. Works great with Nokia maps (comes free with the handset). Sometimes does take a few minutes to hook up to the satellites though.
Camera: 5 mega pixel. Brillant. As good as having a 'proper' non-SLR camera.
+ve: Great phone. GPS and Camera are great
-ve: Not a touch screen.

I've had this Nokia N95 phone now for 2 years. I've been looking for to change, but to this date, I cannot find anything close to its quality. I believe the handset was first released in the UK in March and I bought it in July. I've NEVER had a technical problem. Yes the one of the clip on the battery cash broke about 6 months ago, then again, I'm not sure I've had a phone this long. GPS is great and free if not using navigation with internet connection (yes, which is possible), photos and videos are brilliant, better than my old camera, which I chucked, music sound is good with a good headset or speakers (of course maybe not as good as an iPod, but it is only a mobile phone), and all the applications available or that can be added are excellent. For example, I also use my phone as a spirit level and I can switch off the sound by just flipping the phone over. I love the organiser, the sync with outlook, the map updates on the GPS, the shortcuts, the personalisation possibilities, the one touch buttons, in short, EVERYTHING. The slider protects the keys and is less combersome than flip phones. Some of you might say, the battery life is not great but if you do close the applications when you've finished using them instead of just closing the phone immediatly, it last a lot longer. I charge mine every 3 days and before you ask, I spend about 45 euros worth of calls per months with unlimited calls to 3 numbers and unlimited txt. The connectivity (3G/WIFI/GPS) is more than satisfying, not as great as my PC, then again, THIS IS A MOBILE PHONE. :) The best thing about this phone is the connectics. By this I mean the standard plug in on the headphone (jack) and mini usb. This means I don't have to carry my cables with me everywhere if I want to transfer something and I'm be able to use my speakers and headphones with other equipment (TV, PC, laptop...). It also means that I can view my pictures and videos from any TV just by plugging the phone into it using the video/sound cables. All this to say, that should you need an all rounder and you don't like touchscreens like me, this phone is I think to this date, still the best on the market. Rather than spending a fortune on a new phone, I bought a new housing cover for $20 from ecaseshop, who delivered a full replacement housing (shell, cover and tools) within 15 days. It took me less than 1h to replace it (armed with a fine clean paintbrush to clean all the dust inside) and I have now a brand new phone, which already had eveything set up the way I like it! I'm now waiting for the same phone to come out with a better camera still and maybe even better sound.

Have been dissapointed by this Nokia N95 phone since I got it.
Navigation is hampered by softkeys that seem ultrasensitive, sending you to bizarre places every time you slightly mishit 'cancel' when trying to delete in a text message.
The clunky design, while somethign I originally liked (i'm bored of sleek wanna be futuristic designs), has a lot of edges, gaps and corners which quickly fill with dust - unpleasant.
My biggest bug bear, however, is the battery cover. Flimsy and poorly designed, the clips broke withing a month. I've since met 4 or 5 other people and seen N95s with battery covers similarly selotaped in place.
Interestginly, this was fixed for the 8GB successor, with stronger, better designed clips holding the phone together. Why wasn't this picked up in procut tests when the 8gb was released so soon after the original model?

Nokia N95 has easy access and is easy to use but takes quit long to tern on. its fantastic if you now everything on it

I got the Nokia N95 8gb one as an upgrade from my service provider and overall I've been pretty pleased with it - aside from the odd positioning of the on/off key the phone itself is quite good. I would definitely recommend it it is a very good phone. A raft of features including GPS, a customizable menu feature (I prefer the list style) the office tools and so forth. I have to be honest I have not had the battery problem others have had.

The Nokia N95 is a great phone. Would recommend it entirely, although it will be interesting to see what the N85 is like when its out because gut feel is it might be better.

The Nokia N95 has good battery life and good sound quality. I've had 3 from vodafone all same probs freezing, switching off, I felt that vodafone were poor at sorting what appears to be a common problem with the handset eg they would not supply a different make. Also said the last warranty was water damaged, I do not believe it was. I've had nokias for years probably give it another go with another model no way an n95! Also i would not use vodafone, but have to where i am

I've got a Nokia N95 and it does the job well, add some extra software and it becomes a mediaplayer. No full size keyboard camera seems poor quality and finds difficulty focusing on objects.

Have had this Nokia N95 phone for over 18 months now and absolutely love it. Contract is up but wouldn't even entertain switching to another phone. OK, some phones may be more stylish and have more advanced features but if you're looking for something which gives you the best all round package then look no further. Oh, and regarding the battery life, I also found this rather frustrating when I first got the phone but soon wised up to the fact that provided applications are closed after use, the battery lasts for a good 3 days. So stop writing harsh reviews about battery life and learn about how to actually use the thing first!

Loved the Nokia N95 when I got it shame about all the problems as it is a decent phone. I have now had 5 N95's they all had to be sent back. Problems with freezing, turning its self off, i would never recomend anyone to get this phone.
written by Colinmack on 18/11/2008
Love the fact its so easy to use and navigate. Also the camera is the best I've used on any phone with amazing picture quality. Generally very happy with it and would recommend to anyone... Infact only bad point for me is that the battery power isn't great and needs charging every 24 hours. Also limited amount of music can be stored...

I've had the Nokia N95 for 12 months now and apart from the battery life it's a great phone.
The camera is ace,
The video is great,
The sound quailty of the tracks and Radio is excellent,
The secondary slide is a useful feature too, it takes you straight to your music,
The maps function is excellent,
It has RealPlayer, FlashPlayer, Adobe, Zip, Office, Internet access is good too,
It can be used as a wireless router too.
The phone is just a great little piece of kit, the best phone I've had.

The phone looks quite good on the outside but the insides leave a lot to be desired. Have been a loyal nokia fan for a long time, however after this experience I will not be entertaining a nokia for the foreseeable future.

I have now had my Nokia N95 for 15 months. All things considered I would definitely reccomend this mobile phone to other people. I find the best thing about this phone is its ease of use.
The menu is not complicated and things are under the menu option you expect (I have had some phones where it was near impossible to fine the bluetooth settings).
The camera is excellent and takes clear and well balanced photographs with little or no blurring on moving objects. Also, I have been impressed with the ease of switching between still and movie mode on the camera which has allowed for me to take movies and stills of the same event.
The media playback is also something Nokia should be proud of. The sounds are once again clear and not distorted.
The main negatives I would have are few but there nonetheless.
Firstly, the battery life leaves a lot to be desired. Just taking a few photos or a phone call (which is what its for after all) removes a few bars from the battery nearly instantly. Although this phone hasn't died on me, there have been a few near misses. It is best to recharge this model every night if you can which is not an ordeal but is a chore if you are going away and have to pack your charger. I would have preferred a chunkier phone if it meant a longer battery life.
My biggest bugbear though is the sattelite navigation. I was extremely impressed by this when I first used it. I was charged £3 approx. for 7 days' usage which I thought was fair (it saved me buying a dedicated SatNav). Once I had picked up a strong enough signal (which took a disappointing 5 minutes) the directions were good and it kept up with my position very well.
I then used it to go on holiday. I had to switch off the radio in the car as I got constant interferance from the phone (a placement issue but it was the only place available) so we had a boring journey. But worst of all, when I got into the wilds and needed the navigation the most, it stopped working which made it a useless feature for me. I managed to get around without it but I was dissapointed. My real shock came with my next phone bill. I hadn't realised that it used A.GPS, the A meaning assissted. This means that the phone is using WAP as well as satellites to navigate. This sounds good but was the reason the navigation stopped when we were out of a reception area. The other problem is that I was charged an extra £80 on my phone bill for my partial journey for all of the data my phone used. I was not happy to say the least.
I have since switched off the A.GPS so the phone only uses the satelites but have not been able to get a signal for the navigation feature since. This charging has never been clear even when looked for on the Nokia website. So if you want to use the SatNav feature, make sure your contract gives you plenty of free data allowance.

This is a great mobile. 5.0 megapixels camera, Wi-Fi, Improved GPS map and dvd-like quality videos are the features that make N95 becomes a user favorite.

Good screen, good cam, brilliant music player...
Not happy with the battery life, size of the phone is too big for me, it feels like a brick in your pocket in my opinion! The Nokia N95 doesn't survive a spin in the washing machine! Therefore I do not recommend this Nokia Mobile Phone. Dont go for it if you like slimline light weight phones, not recommended.
