It made me itch again in the fingers and I just had to buy a technical innovation. That has become a new cell phone, was initially more chance. I was surfing the Internet when I saw on a website the N95 8GB from Nokia. I was on the design and the key data immediately blown away.
I saw my dream cell phone from her appearance. But I was still very averse to this phone because it is first of Nokia and it has at the moment in which a rather uneasy feeling to purchase the work shift from Bochum to Romania. The other points that I did the first cell phone was forgotten, the price, the fact that it is a slider phone and it’s not a music phone from Nokia. So first I rejected my dream again.
But how then is it with me so sometimes, I caught two weeks later, to read more about the cell phone and am more interested in it. And then came the moment that made me throw all the doubts over the side. I had the phone in an electrical store in the hand. From the moment I knew I had to have the phone. It was not long and only two weeks later, after reading countless Advisor, I had the phone in my home.
I own it now for over two months and I thought that I should have and all interested people out there describe my opinion about the phone, so that you know whether it perhaps what could be for you or your friend.

Design
So now we come to the device itself and the point that I was immediately drawn into the spell.
As already mentioned, the Nokia N95 8GB a slider phone. The word slider phone means you can defer the mobile phone. Usually you can slide the display up to reveal the numeric keypad. This is also the case with this device, but the display can also move down to expose the top video and music player keys. The mobile phone is held mostly in black, with round the front, therefore the display comes along in piano lacquer finish. Above the display is left up to the very small lettering “N95 8GB”, next to the receiver output and another is the right of it are the camera and light sensor for video telephony. Under the display are the navigation keys, and call button (green), limit switches (red), soft keys, edit key to open the menu key and the multimedia button to jump to the music player.
On the right side of the shutter button is for the camera, gallery key and the zoom / volume controls for the camera or music player. On the left side is the entrance for headphones, headset or cable video. On both sides of speaker outputs are appropriate. Above, the mobile phone, as usual for the Nokia-and off button. Below are the inputs for the charger and the USB cable. On the flip side, the camera and the flash for the camera. Moreover, on the back of an obstruction for removal under the bedfinden to the battery and Sim card.
The numerical and the music and video player buttons are black with white letters and backlit. The buttons on the front below the display to glow with a noble Sillberton.
The mobile phone has the following dimensions:
Volume: 96 cm3
Weight: 129 g
Length (max.): 99 mm
Width (max.): 53 mm
Height (max.): 21 mm
Display
A really very impressive feature of the phones is the very large display. It measures 45 x 60mm and thus has a screen diagonal of 7.1 cm or 2.8 inches. It is in the display at a QVGA TFT display with ambient light sensor and 16.7 million colors. The resolution of the display is 240 x 320 pixels.
The display really knows to impress and not just by the data. The brilliant colors is really impressive, because everything looks so lifelike and on a cell phone. Especially when taking pictures and videos on turning the big screen is very advantageous. If one pushes the screen up the aspect ratio remains on edge, but if you push the screen down, the image rotates automatically to landscape mode.
A small flaw in the display is the dust and dirt retention, which can be reversed by a dust cloth or special protective films. Both are good solutions that also use depending on your mood.
Operation
Moving on to operating the device. The keypad can either be removed by the usual Nokia-key combination or by the postponement of the mobile. On the screen, you then have a start menu similar to a desktop computer. There you put in a quick launch bar up to 7 menu items that seem important one. You can also show the two selection buttons additionally with two other menu items. To the main menu of the phone you get through the press the Menu button to the left of the navigation key.
All in all, the service said in a short time by himself because you navigated using the navigation button and dropped through the selection keys in the menus and submenus. The operation is also worth mentioning that the contacts could be assigned to Talk, so you just say the name of the need to call and seek him not in the phone book must be in.
One of the keys is still important that they barely crack or grind and work the buttons does not handle cheap.
Menu
I will allow you at least a small but sufficient impression to the menu of the N95 8GB. In the main menu, there are 12 sub-menus initially. The first two are “contacts” and “messages” to explain themselves and do not differ from other cell phone or manufacturers.
The next option is “Map”. Here you can arrange for using the Internet, a GPS locator, so you just know in an emergency situation where you are. The appearance is similar to that of Google Earth very strong and I think that the system also point based. The next option is “music.” Below the music player is found, of course, includes playlists and so on. Furthermore, are in the menu music on the radio, an online music store and a folder for subscribed podcasts.
The next menu items are “Gallery” and “Video center. In the gallery you can watch not only his pictures and video, but also follow his blog Life, sound clips, manage and view presentations. In the Video center are the videos that you have loaded on your cell phone, so not film itself but on the PC or the Internet played on mobile phones.
Next there is the menu “Search”. Just one class can then either look on his cell phone or the Internet at store keywords for things, in other words, a Google for its own mobile phone.
Then there is the menu “Internet”. You can surf with the phone either via normal GPRS or via wireless Internet, but I will explain later, again in more detail.
For gamers, the next step the right thing, because the “N-Gage games,” there are N-Gage demos preinstalled, and you can get them from the Internet full versions of games. I can only say that the graphics and the engine for mobile games are really impressive!
The next page you will find “System”. Among them can really make all the settings of the phone. You can change the phone or call or adjust the settings for Bluetooth connections, etc.. Also located under the menu item, the call logs and profiles.
As before last because of the menu item “Applications”. There, Clock, Calculator, Calendar, etc. are, and Office applications, and more programs that you play on your cell phone and uses. I have to, for example, now can use the TomTom software on the phone to the phone as a navigation device in the car. That works perfectly and you can not really complain. The phone is really more than just a cell phone.
The last item is still “calling Load. In this menu there are various possibilities movies, games, and download programs to mobile phones from the Internet.
There are of course in any number of sub-menu, but it really would be just too much at this point to respond to each submenu. Who of course has a specific question, this can always make me happy.
Key Features
What this phone and can thus can meet the mobile phone in which many bells and whistles, the basic functions of a mobile phone?
Obvious answer first: Yes, the “cell phone”!
Telephoning : To receive calls you have to postpone or not the phone. You can also make calls without sliding and receive calls. The sound is very good at listening, and you can of course talk about the volume. The opposite can also confirm that the voice sounds on the other end loud and clear, so also is the voice transmission to be assessed as well. During a telephone conversation in the car, you can use the built-in handsfree or phone calls with the included headset, if not everyone should hear what the said on the other end. The feature in this mobile phone is thus not yet exhausted. With the camera on the front can be used with the phone, the video telephony. I can say from a test performed that really is a funny thing, especially the first time you do not believe how stupid you can look like. :-D
The reception is really with the phone almost everywhere optimal.
Send news : With a mobile phone can be sent SMS, MMS, audio messages and e-mails. On this subject, there really is not much to say. T9 is preinstalled in several languages, and of course you can write SMS with more than 160 characters. Back to the message store, I can say at this point only so much that I currently Thus, about 350 messages on the phone and the store has not yet been reported because of lack of space. ;-)
Internet : As has already been described under “menu” you get to the possibility of wireless Internet. In the “Internet” you just go to “search for wireless connection” and after a few seconds you will see all wireless connections that exist in the vicinity. Then, choose the desired wireless connection from there and the associated password and you can start surfing. I have used it at home or in cafes has often and you feel like in front of PC. The speed is somewhat slower than the DSL connection, which can perhaps be used to at home, but in any case acceptable and we can work with. incorporate a little one must, of course, when it goes with the addresses of the mobile phone keypad to enter, but you get used to the incredibly fast, which I had not thought of.
Camera : It’s in my description of the camera on the back and not the camera for video telephony on the front.
The camera is equipped me mighty 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss optics, which is in advance for quality. Unfortunately, the camera has no lens protection. However, the lens is protected by the fact that they built a little deeper in the cell phone is. The images you make with the camera captivate you with its high resolution and rich colors. You can choose private trades in various modes and flash settings to succeed even in a smoky disco very good pictures. The camera has an autofocus and a zoom up to 20x digital zoom.
Also can rotate with the phone even videos. The videos can be seen in VGA (640 x 480 pixels) with up to 30 frames per second turn. Again, I can stay in the quality and especially the sound of the shot videos nothing. The images and videos are automatically stored in the gallery, you can instantly see the “Gallery” key as a digital camera. Who wants to see sample photos or videos, which can of course contact me.
Music / Sound: When it comes to music makes the mobile phone also produce a lot, even if there is no special music or Walkman cell phone. You can create your own playlists or just listen to radio. The sound quality is very good, although I find it a bit too quiet, but that the phone is equipped so well and produce a good quality speaker. You can hear the music on headset, speaker phone on or in which one the phone with the included cable (part of the headset) is connected to a stereo. This cable can also play videos on TVs. In terms of sound can also make some adjustments. You can control the bass and adjust various settings in terms of sound. See you on the phone the volume in terms of music and sound can easily compete with any Walkman phone. I can tell, because I had the W810i from Sony Ericsson and my brother has a Walkman mobile phone from Nokia.
Connectivity / Data Transfer: In this area the cell phone offers all common facilities. The files can be transferred wirelessly via Bluetooth or infrared, otherwise it uses the included USB cable. The data transfer is mainly with the cable very quickly and can be quickly and large quantities quickly copy files to your mobile.
Software: Nokia NSeries software is really very extensive. There are all sorts of programs. Once, of course, the file transfer program with all the possible transfer files onto the phone and convert them into proper format for the mobile phone can be. There is also a media and video player supplied by Nokia and programs for image and video editing. Overall, the software package contains over 10 different programs, so no requests left open. The programs are also very easy to use and can largely be explained by itself! ?
Battery life: The great weakness of the Nokia N95 is also not ignore 8GB without a trace. Senior approximately 11 days standby time. I thought lying beneath it understands the use of mobile phones without, but even then I give the phone more than 7-8 days. I must be normal and not as intensive use every 4 to 5 days to recharge. This is for Nokia conditions in view of the size of the display and the features that has the cell phone, but very good.
Memory holds: the memory of the phone as the name of the phone says 8GB. This is surely enough a lot to play music and a few videos to mobile phones. I can not find that with greater utilization of the memory suffers the speed of the phones below. A disadvantage is that this memory is integrated in the phone and you can also introduce no memory card.
Price
Yes, the price is not really small. I paid for the phone just under 500 €. Without a contract but it can sometimes cost up to € 700. So it is no cheaper to have fun this device.
Conclusion
I can only say that this phone actually holds everything it promises. I am glad that I decided after a long struggle with myself this phone to buy. I am excited about the features and design. But the mobile phone you should of course not only praise. arguments against the cell phone especially for women certainly the size and weight. For a small feather-light device, the Nokia N95 8GB certainly is not. In addition, the volume of music playback and display are noted quickly soiled nor negative. For me, these are only small things, which I take such and not diminish my enthusiasm for my phone.
For me there for such a strong buy recommendation, because if one has enough money available.
I hope you had fun reading and could you maybe find some interesting news. Thanks for reading, and sometimes even in advance for review.
Pros : design, equipment, processing
Cons : price, volume, dust susceptibility
