Nokia N95

I have wrote about Nokia N95 last year. 1 year later, Nokia introduces their enhanced version of Nokia N95 with the same name Nokia N95 8GB. The 8GB Nokia N95 brings a plethora of internal memory to an already powerful smartphone.

The new Nokia N95 is an all-black mini storage machine which features a larger, 2.8-inch QVGA non-touch screen. It’s slightly bigger compared to the old N95. It is still a beast of a mobile weighing you down to the tune of 128g and measuring 53mm wide and 21mm thick. It is 99mm tall and when you open the slider to get at the number pad it grows to a staggering 130mm. If you are looking for neatness and slim handphone, this is definately out of your choice.It also comes with camera lens cover to make way for a larger battery. In addition, the Symbian device continues to offer integrated GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 5-megapixel camera, and dedicated music controls. N95 8GB remains it’s ‘dual slider’ concept. The number pad slides out of one end, and out of the other, a bank of four buttons for controlling music playback.

Thanks to the huge library of built-in software, 8GB of flash memory (plus another 100MB for messages, ringtones, images, video clips, calendar, to do lists and apps), the N95 8GB does come the closest I’ve seen yet to Nokia’s aspiration of putting a real computer in your pocket.
