BUT whenever someone sees my TV they are blown away by the concept and the quality of the picture and the sound. I installed Slingbox Mobil on it and linked it to my Slingbox so I get live TV on the phone and whatever I get on my TV at home I get on this phone. I bought this phone over 9 months ago for one particular reason. The coolest moment was the Monday playoff of this year's US Open (Tiger against Rocco and a broken leg). As long as I have strong upload speeds on my home DSL service the picture is exceptional. I like all the other features of the phone, the camera is fabulous, it is very good as a phone, works well on the WEB and I do not find it too thick although it would be nice if it were thinner. I had to play in a pro-am golf tournament that day and while everyone was trying to find out how the playoff was going - I got to WATCH it LIVE. Amazing.
Second is the music and video players. I am very happy with my Nokia N95 8GB phone. OK. sometimes evenbetter quality then a land line. Being able to charge via usb is one and, with most smart phone an occasional unscheduled reboot.But, even with it's minor drawbacks its a phone I use in manyways everyday and, will continue in the future. My review.First of all the phone itself is excellent.
People compare this phone to the iphone and, thats fine.I've owned both now and, have to say that there aremore application and other items you can get on the N95then the iphone.and as far as I'm concerned the callquality is so much better with the Nokia. As the title says MORE THEN I EXPECTED.I would like to take a moment to thank Amazon forquick and courteous service. The player thatcomes with the phone is great but, if you want more diversity with different codec's try Core video player.You can find it on most symbian forums. both on andoff speaker phone. It is loud and clear. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate this phone a solid 9 becauseof it's quirks.
Thank You
The phone has never been wet, so I don't understand how could there be corrosion. The phone is really bulky and the two-way slides isn't all that comfortable (slides when keeping in the pocket)Over a period of time, the N95-8GB started acting really flaky and eventually, the phone would reboot by itself. From day 1, had issues with charger pin not charging properly (need to play around a bit for it to start charging). Nokia expects that men won't keep the phone in the pocket.
savvy, which I luckily am. I've had N95-8GB for less than two months now. I smell something fishy - maybe they didn't have parts so they are making this up.When I called customer support, the rep said that the phone can catch corrosion by keeping it in the pocket or from humidity (I live in Chicago, close to lake Michigan). Nokia just lost a faithful customer and an avid marketer of their product - for the last 10+ years, I've only used Nokia phones - I guess it's time to switch manufacturers.New buyers - BEWARE. Some problem with the power switch.
I was shocked with this response. As long as your phone doesn't go bad, your fine. The features of the phone are awesome - but you need to be really tech. Anyway, spoke to a couple reps and even a supervisor, but they simply refused to repair the phone. I sent the phone back to Nokia for repair.
The online status first showed - 'Waiting for parts' and then, after a few days they simply shipped the phone back saying it has corrosion. This is just pathetic customer service. If it does, be prepared to dump your investment.
I dont want to add much to already reviewed feautures.I bought this phone in Nov 2007 and till now did not have single problem.Meanwhile I tried iphone 3G, Motorazr2 V9 and Sony ericsson W580i. but now back to this powerful Nokia.I use this for browsing,checking mails and everyday in Gym as a music device. Battery is really good, and reception exceptional.
Video quality will pleasantly surprise you, its DVD quality and 8 Gig will let you make never ending videos. Phone is actually not as big as it looks in the images.Cons: GPS is ridiculous, I live in San Francisco, phone does not catch signals at most of the places, and it just says searching signals. Multimedia keys, on the top slider are very convenient to operate mp3 and video. The slot to insert hands free is poorly designed, it should have been on the top or bottom of the phone, hands free jack is on the left side of the phone, which make it inconvenient when you place the phone in your pocket. Phone can handle high speed applications at about 450 kbps download speed, absolutely no problem with streaming videos. Mp3 player quality is as good as apple. Pros: Great 5 mega pixel digital camera. Iphone hand free is much better.
It takes forever to copy music to N95 as it first converts the Mp3 to some other format.Overall: I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, except with the GPS of the phone. I hate the Nokia Hands free, because it comes with a remote control connected to hands free wire, which makes it inconvenient to carry. If you think N95 will rest your gps as it will your IPods, digital and video camera, then you are wrong. Never seen a phones speaker so loud. Phone comes YouTube ready, you can Skype or Google talk to save minutes where ever you have wifi after. Nokia maps did not impress me.
In short true phone which will make you rest your Ipod, digital camera, video camera and old phone. Best phone available in market for gaming. I downloaded Google maps, its free and much better. Phone`s processor is fast and multimedia features are colossal.
