User Reviews
The Nokia N95 8GB was offered by Rogers Wireless in Canada. I purchased this phone second-hand and I used it exclusively for two years. I used the phone for mobile calling, texting, GPS navigation with Garmin Mobile XT, wifi internet access, games and photography. I was very happy with all of these features for functionality. This is a solid Nokia workhorse but I found that the fancier features felt slow on the Symbian OS. I did not have access to mobile data, but I especially enjoyed taking pictures when my main camera was not at hand. It served me well.
A great phone that has a lot going for it. Maybe not like the slimline iPhone but the N95 8GB is a pretty cool phone. Many a time I have been saved when lost and just use the GPS mapping to get back on track. The sound is great, listen to it like MP3. Using it for internet, many a happy at work whilst reading the latest news!! A great all rounder. Facebook, twitter, MSN can be easily accessed. The Wifi feature means that I can use it abroad and not pay any excessive phone bills! Still a great buy!
the phone does a lot more than i need but better looking at it than for it i suppose. the early models had problems all the time but the 8gb has been up to the job. if it was a lot quicker to respond upon opening instead of this 3second blank that you get as though it were asleep all the time and a good zoom mode for the camera then it would be the only phone for me, but hey is for horses and i'm hard to please. could have been the best phone only for these.
I guess the best fetures of this phone dont seem as flash as an iphone, as looks go its not up with similar priced phones, I have now had another replacement off my network, and now I can honestly say it is a very comprehensive handset, being able to use it on my internet router it behaves faultless, just to add I have this one now nearly 12 months and no probs, if the folks havving battery issues can turn off the Wlan and bluetouth they will notice a big differance in batt, another point I should add is change the heaadphones that come with the phone for inear rubber seal type the differance is whopping deep Base. All in all it is a worthy top of range Phone....
is a good phone. BUT, the battery will die every few hours (4-5), lcd on phone is incredibly weak and cracks very easily, phone will glitch up continuesly, phone shuld not be pluged into PC running latest version of PC suite (phone will becom bricked instantly).
is a very good phone when working (it breaks all the time)
This is an appalling phone to have - yes the camera is great but I am now on my 3rd phone and it has had to be rebooted twice due to "software" issues! The battery needs recharging every night. The web browser shuts down whenever I use it. More recently I loose signal to the phone and it wears the battery out teying to find the SP again. Just yesterday the phone powered out three hours after taking it off a full charge.
Wish I had gone for the iPhone instead!

The Nokia N95 8GB - An excellent innovation. The 5 MegaPixel auto focus camera is the best thus far, giving photos of pin sharp view on the luminous screen.The music and video is also exceptional providing excellent musical sound and viewing. The 8GB Internal Memory really needs some beating with enough capacity to back - up the whole PC. Added features such as the in-built Navigation systems ensures you'll always find your way!! All round an extremely durable phone!!
