Probably few were those who found on the box of the N95 nokia smart phone that the full name of this model is N95-1. That's why on the box of Nokia N95 with 8 Giga Bytes is written N95-2 and on box of the American version, the N95 8 GB NAM, is written N95-3. This shows that Nokia wanted from the beginning to launch other versions of N95, when people were just amazed by its revolutionary capacities and they were making such statements as Nokia N95 - what computers have become.

At a fugitive look though the window of a store, Nokia N95 8GB would appear identical as its predecessor n 95, excepting the black color. But closing up and examining it better, the differences become apparent, first of all, the screen is visible larger ( 2.8 inches in contradistinction to 2.6 inches of the N95), the upper half is entirely covering the bottom one and on the back it has the digital camera without protection. We can also note the lack of a microSD slot, and the difference in terms of internal memory volume (8GB and 160 Mb).

Nokia N95 8 GB is operated by Symbian 9.2 and the system interface uses Series 60, the third edition with Feature Pack 1. A function that is not usually seen at Symbian below 9.3, is present in N95 - 2, the demand paging function, which is summarized by the fact that only the most important elements of a program are left in RAM, the rest being stored in phones memory and are loaded into RAM only when necessary. This function saves the use of RAM while using battery. RAM volume has been increased from 64 MB (N95-1) to 128 MB for N 95-2. This contributes to a better performance and the lack of messages such as "Memory Full" which is not characteristic for the N95 8GB - to use all the memory is practically impossible no matter how hard you try.

The active menu on the working table is certainly present on this phone to. It allows the convenient organization of your favorite applications directly on the workbench, allowing even shortcuts to web pages.



The main menu of the Nokia N95 8 GB knows only two types of organization, the traditional 3 x 4 matrix, and the usual list. It is also possible to choose for the icons to be animated or not. Navigating from one element to another can be done easily, as well as changing the image on the screen in vertical arrangement or in a horizontal arrangement. This occurs without any transition, the screen gets black for one second and then appears in that position. As pre-installed themes there are four in number at the Nseries. All are quite nice, but any other preferences are left to the user who can download a large amount of available themes on the internet.

An item that attracts attention is the multimedia menu that can be accessed by pressing that dedicated button that provides easy access to all multimedia capabilities of the phone. All options are organized in vertical categories marked with an suggestive icon just like in the case of N81. Selecting a category, the options are arranged in a horizontal list. If you don't like the arrange of the categories, you can change it after your own wish.



With regarding to voice and call quality, as we expected, everything is high. There are no foreign interference or disturbing sounds that could affect users call, the sound is clear and clean. Equally good is the sound of the ringtones and the vibration intensity- it is impossible for a normal person to lose a call or message if he has his phone close to him. Speaking of sound, like any other Symbian, Nokia N95 8Gb is equipped with a voice recognition program. Its function is clear and it works remarkable, recognizing all the voice commands. Nokia N95 8GB also has a document viewer that can open Word, Excel and PDF. Editing files is not possible with this application, but you can purchase the full version from the Nokia Download center.

For gamers, is presented the N-Gage application that comes with two demo games including Asphalt 3 Street Rules. Those who have nostalgia after the old N95 games, you can download them for free trough this platform. This phone really has many possibilities regarding the games, because of its technical specifications.



The N95 Nokia has a built-in GPS module. We do not know exactly what chip was used, but there is something of the SiRF Star II- which allows for better performance and the third version of this chip would be more appropriate for a top phone. Even so, this chip is fully capable to finish with the requirements of a regular user. The main drawback is the time of heating, when switched on the GPS, it takes some time to set the initial position, especially if you are in a moving car. Once set, the Nokia N 95 uses Nokia Maps, which is one of the GPS applications that provide the most detailed maps.

We must not forget that the FM radio is scanning frequencies with a good broadcasting, saving them automatically. Also there are downloadable radio stations frequencies on the Internet with names of the radio stations to. RDS is missing here, but this is not a vital element, it's a optional one. The images gallery is as impressive as in the case of N81, the pictures are arranged in 3D. “Browsing” the pictures on this phone is such a pleasant experience.

Regarding the users who are thinking to buy this model for the first time, then it will be a decision that they won't regret it later. Nokia N95 8GB phone is really a "all in one" and if you don't mind the lack of the protection for the digital camera system, then is definitely the phone that will let you use the most modern innovations of mobile telephony and an excellent digital camera plus a huge space for all multimedia content that you want.
