Nokia N95 8GBNokia N95 8GB Review

N95 8GB is a 3G Phone with HSDPA high-speed data, quad-band GSM with GPRS and EDGE and WiFi. The N95 8GB also has stereo Bluetooth, infra-red and USB connectivity.

Nokia N95 was one of the best mobile phone, the new Nokia N95 8GB doesn't just come with a new paint job and memory upgrade, it has many enhancements, so which could be add to the original N95 by upgrading your N95 Firmware version, but there are alot of new and improved features that will be only available to the New N95 8GB.

 

Nokia N95 8GB has a large display screen compared to N95 which had a "2.6" panel now it has a "2.8" panel, it's clearer and brighter in all lighting conditions and it's better protected.

The standby screen now has 7 quick-launch icon slots (versus 6), and there's a new standby shortcut/strip, a whole new version of Nokia's Mobile Search utility. v4 was supplied with the review unit, but it's quite slow (seven seconds to start up) and I'd expect a few tweaks to this in the coming months. v4 appears to be a whole new rewrite of the old utility and in addition to new content types (Music, Bookmarks, Images, Video, Landmarks), there's genuine quick matching of any text search string. Just start entering text and within a few seconds the matches are shown within each area and can be drilled down into. Great stuff and genuinely useful. No doubt Search v4 will appear for older devices on the Nokia Mobile Search site.

There's an N-Gage Games icon on the main menu! Currently this has shortcuts to the placeholder URLs for the N-Gage home page and the N-Gage client download page, but these will become live in time. There are also two demo games, FIFA 07 and Asphalt 3, both of which play rather well (in portrait mode only) and bode well for the success of N-Gage in a few months time. I'm no game player though, Krisse will be along shortly with more on playing these titles.
