Nokia N95

Like the graphic and menu set ups.

Doesn't hold a good battery life charge even when not really being used.

I have had numerous problems with this phone including: Callers not being able to hear you, The GPS not working & The WLAN not working. Since I purchased the phone I have had to have it replaced 4 times over a 2 month period

Lots of features, easy to use as phone (most important). Lots of features, especially music player, GPS, synchronisation of organiser with PC, viewing photos. Small, light, easy to use - it's a phone with lots of features (I used to have a XDA Exec which is a great palmtop computer, which also includes a phone).

uses a lot of battery and does not charge via USB. Costs of data downloads are prohibitive and I always use a wireless network, never the GPRS/3G connection. Make sure that you download all the maps via the USB and PC. Make sure that you set the options to 'always ask' so that you don't get a big bill unexpectedly.

Battey life just isn't comparable with other models available

camera, wireless, internet, sound

GPS very hard to pick up and maintain signal for navigation

It is very customisable in that it uses the latest version of Symbion operating system meaning that near enough any mobile application can work on it-- including downloading podcasts which is very useful... the photo capabilities are of a very high order and the video is of a very high quality too; even when plugged into the TV with a scart lead...! It is a phone heavily laden with extensive features, very well recommended - you'll never go back to a lower res phone display again ! :)

As aforementioned, the phone is extensively laden with features and as such it takes a toll on the battery.. moreso if you take a lot of pictures and record a lot of clips (my N95 always needs to be plugged in after a night out).... but I'm more than happy with the balance.. This phone is probably the best phone out there now.

The Nokia N95 is a superb all singing and dancing product that looks good, takes great photos & videos, allows you to surf the web, possesses a very good sized colour display and has an easy to use (once mastered) keypad / menu allowing you to download and reply to your emails whilst out of the office. If you want a business phone that does all things very well - then this is a good option!

Perhaps the only disadvantage is the battery life which can get used up quite quickly if used a lot so make sure you always take a charger on your travels. However this isn't a true failing in the product rather it comes from using it frequently (as it does come packed with features) and so in that sense battery usage is inevitable.

the camara is very good

texting is difficult, navigation to menu content is difficult

Combines all essentials: cellular phone/voip phone, organiser, GPS, e-mail and multimedia. Great all-in-one package.

Battery life is dismal and undermines overall usability. really needs to improve to change the phone from gadget to a tool.

Nokia have produced what I would say is the ultimate phone.

It has no bad points.

Recently on holiday, I used my N95 as a SatNav to find my way around, browsed the web (in Spain! - no problem, real browser), listened to music as a personal MP3 player AND hooked it up to external speakers by the pool. Also forgot my camera a few times so took some 5MP pics and DVD quality video (which I played directly into my TV when I arrived home). Oh, and I made a few calls as well! I was a bit skeptical at all the hype, but this is really a magnificent piece of kit.

It does need to be charged up fairly regularly (heavy use, most days), but the charging is exceptionally quick and given all it does, this is only to be expected.

very compact device

battery

I think this phone is the best phone yet from Nokia! SO far I have had no bad experiences with the operating system that plagued some of the earlier N Series phones and I see no reason to why I should now. Browsing is great, camera and video superb, the GPS Map Application is great although I haven't really got my head round it, just played around with it. Limited inbuilt storage but with the Micro SD Memeory Card again its great. My honest opinion...highly recommended..!! Love it!!

MAybe battery life although its not too bad, if you remember to shut down everything you open. Maybe the fact that sometimes you can inadvertantly launch the multi media application if the phone isn't locked wehn the phone is in your pocket but, in all honesty very minor gripes hardly worth mentioning.

the ease of buttons, the screen is clear. camera takes great pic's

battery life is very small if u have bluetooth running

good loud ringer,good camera,a decent phone

battery goes down to soon, I have had to replace phone twice as phone switches off when on 3G network and also sometimes person on other end cant hear you but you can hear them

camera is the best i have seen clear and easy to use top marks for it and the hands free speaker very clear and all round easy to use phone

may need some sort of cover to protect the camera lens i always find i got a finger over the lens when im on the phone making a call

The contact detials and back up process is excellent.

The microphone stops working and now the camera opening button has stopped. when I visited a shop I was told it had to go back for repair. Not impressed that its failed already

I am very pleased with this phone. The picture quality is fantastic and it has brilliant sound quality. Overall this mobile is a fantastic phone.

I have to put the phone on charge every night.

Great stylish modern phone, excellent features, amazing camera and great quality

Would be great if the slider would lock in position, because it can become unlocked in your pocket

it does most things you want a mobile to do and more.

if you leave an animated screen saver on your power will only last about 4 hours.

good for the basics.

sat nav is crap!!!!! it doesnt come set up, you have to pay for maps and memory card not supplied. not worth the money you will eventually pay for the damm thing.

Great Functionality - From excellent Web Browsing through to fast, smooth GPS navigation and full VOIP and VGA Video capture!

The battery can go quite quickly sometimes - often needs to be charged every 48hrs, apparently longer lasting batteries are now availble!

Battery life is not good at all.i have to turn the phone off then on again pn occasions so i can here people i wish to talk too.Bad Nokia experience.

Got everything you need in a phone and personal organiser

Battery life,Battery life,Battery life,Battery life,

Good resolution camera Intuitive usage of functions Clock and alarms are designed nicely

Serious problems with the time it takes to capture a picture in low lighting. PC Suite software synchronising with Outlook is faulty to the point of being more trouble then it's worth. Sending texts is annoying because you can hit the red key instead if the "c" key very easily. This causes you to discard the whole message to Drafts instead of deleting a single character. Video recording chows battery life like crazy. The back panel falls out easily and then the battery falls out with it The earphones that come with the phone are crap and the cord is too short. GPS take ages to synchronise with satellites

The camera and video are excellent quality for a phone. The GPS is very good but a shame that you have to go online to use it. The music player is very good.

Battery life is not good. Also had some problems with the phone freezing.

The phone looks great and is very easy to use.

Both myself and my partner have the same phone and we have both experienced problems with the screen locking and not being able to use the phone without removing the battery first. Also occassionally when we close the slide part on the phone there is a thick white line across the screens. Occassionally during telephone conversations the person we are speaking to sounds as though their voice is vibrating and they are very hard to hear but this does not happen all of the time just now and then.

Design, functionality

Build quality suspect, had two both with same problem - intermittent speaker operation. Also the GPS doesn't really work - thinks you are driving in the fields next to the road.

HSDPA, photo quality

Frequent crashes, several bugs, A2DP Bluetooth often cuts out when listening to music wirelessly, can't maintain a data connection and a phone call at the same time, camera is slow, GPS is terrible, battery life is appalling.

It really does have everything. Having used an LG (terrible synchronisation software) and a Motorola (awful menus) it is a joy to be using such a well evolved package of hardware and software.

It really does have everything which can make it overwhelming in ways. What I really want is a decent digital camera with a phone built in, not the other way around. The battery life, especially when you're using the camera, listening to music or accessing the internet can be very brief. For such an expensive, well-specced piece of kit it feels flimsy and plasticy. A little metal wouldn't have gone amiss.

Camera and features

not to easy to use, very technical.

only best bit camera

some times screen frosting it takes 30 or 40 second to come back to it self to many programes thats why phone is not handeling that.some times connecting cuts of it self no reasing battery runs out quick is well i wish i didnt choice nokia 95

Phone packed full of features. Nokia quality, easy to use. Camera is very good. Does everything and more!!

Battery life can be poor

overall an excellent super-phone , a brilliant camera to boot, and very user friendly too.

horribly weak battery life, and the screen is a bit flimsy.

compact light weight, still getting to know the phone,lots of features.

short battery life, having to buy a licence to use the GPS although not expensive, I dont think you should have to pay extra for this service,on top of the monthly charges

the phone is fully customisable and come with a wide arrange of software

the battrie could be better and it take a while to get used to texting with the buttons being verry small

The look feel and design is great and like all Nokia's it's very easy to use.

Battery Life. However, I have noticed that there is a significant difference between the mains charger supplied and other Nokia charges with the same size connecter. Battery Life is greatly enhanced by only useing the mains charger supplied.

it is a good looking compact phone with lots of features. The camera is excellent and it is easy to use, although the navigation can be a bit tricky to find other features.

As above the navigation a bit tricky at times, the bluetooth connection is a bit tempremental and the case that i was recommended although does the job, not perfect so could have come with a case like a lot of other manufacturers do, especially as perfect for the gym etc for music. The case i was sold not ideal for at the gym or whilst running.

phone calls

too complex, locks up, battery life, mant features do NOT work very well overall the way i would describe this product : all mouth no go VERY VERY Disapointing I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMEND IT TO ANYONE UNLESS I REALLY DISLIKED THEM......WISH I HAD NEVER GOT IT CANT WAIT FOR MY UPGRADE!!!!

the phone is really good. it has excellent features. i love most things about it. the camera is of exceptional quality. mp3 player good. and all other features really good even though i dont seem to use all that it can offer me...

battery life is very bad. i have 2 charge my phone every two days and even bring my charger with me to work. sometimes my phone restarts itself or freezes for a couple of secs but it is nothing major.

it is a great device for doing everything and is easy to use.

battery life..but just slip an extra one in your pocket and handbag...definitely not a reason for not buying it.

the quality of the camera/video

the battry life

music quality

poor battery life while using applications

This phone is the best purchase I have ever made, the camera is amazing, much better than other 5MP cameras on the market and the sound quality is better than my ipod. BATTERY LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!! Yes thats right the bettery life is the same as any other phone on the market, the reason why some people say it is bad is because they don't have the new software update that configures the phone to use less power, once i had installed it I noticed a massive difference. I can get upto 3-4 days out of it.

The slider becomes loose if your left handed like me.

I like the slide action and don't mind the size of the handset. The screen size is good.

I regret choosing this handset as it sometimes switches itself off, once when I was in the process of sending a text. It is cumbersome getting around the options, other mobile phones have been much easier to navigate through, and the battery needs charging every other day.

Genuinely multi-function: High qual. digital still/video. Easy interweb thingey. Radio. MP3. And GPS/SatNav... you can probably use it as a phone too.

Eats battery - especially if you 'use' the functions. Flimsey sliding cover disappoints

the music, sound, camera are the best around.

battery life is short, and the phone is a little bit big.

Good phone , email is easy , good quality camera and Sat Nov.

GPS is very hard to get going , my subscription to the 3 year navigation was "forgot" , support not up to scratch yet.

good camera and video quality. easy to use. web browsing is super useful when out and about. looks pretty good too considering it's practically a computer with ringtones!

Battery life can suddenly drop to zero. Memory card is extra!

The amount of features crammed in to the handset is amazing, with all functions being top notch and easy to use

Battery life is not as good as I would like

Elegant design, packs in a huge number of features, fantastic camera, good MP3

Battery life frankly unacceptable, documentation appalling, software updating impossible.

The N95 is great to look at and easy to use. Many features and the camera is one of the best. Another feature is viewing your photos.

Because it is gadget laden, the battery runs down very quickly

The N95 is the best piece of hardware released from Nokia to date IMHO, hard to find fault with it, design is modern, robust, stylish, light weight for the type of phone, true multimedia function, feel's solid and up to the job, operating system next best thing to windows mobile and sound quality is excellent.

Not many that I can find but I would like to see a version with Windows mobile as its operating system, keypad could be a little bigger.

the nokia n95 is very easy to use and has a lot of features i have no complaints about the phone what so ever

to me none whats so ever

the amount of third party apps that can be added to this is emense there is no limit to what you n95 can do

Did have a few software glitches at the start but i think if you want the most up to date device as soon as its out then thats always gonna happen dont let that put you off get get today

excellent camera, good quality photo's. Large clear screen. Quick downloads.Good sound qualityof music and stores plenty of songs. Very good memeroy

Side controls flash when not meant too. Infra-red difficult to use. Sat nav never picks up a signal.

the phone software is not stable,

good combined product

battery life. And still think the shape is wrong. Screen size too small. Would prefer the basic shape of an ipod - affording bigger screen ie taller, wider, thinner

It does everything.... I mean everything.... Which is nice....

Poor battery life as you can use it for everything!

Having not had a Nokia for years it was easy to find my way about without having to endlessly refer to the manual. Easy to use sync software and great web-browsing. Camera is awesome for a phone!

Size and battery life

The Nokia N95 looks good, is easy to use, has a fantastic camera that take great photo''s. The sound is great if using as a mp3 player. The phone is fantastic!

The battery life could be a bit better but it's not so bad you can live with it.

After reading other reviews I was concerned about the Sat Nav functionality, I was therefore surprised how good it was. It may take slightly longer to get a GPS lock (circa 30 seconds on average) but is still very usable as a get me from A to B device! General functionality has been quite intuitive and I would recommend this phone to anyone who likes their gadgets!

In call sound quality is perhaps slightly below par but not enough to be an issue. Battery life is shorter than some other handsets but given you could have bluetooth, wifi and GPS all running perhaps not too surprising!

The phone is smart and easy to use. The camera and web access are good

battery runs out after several hours. It has been back to shop to be fixed after having it less than 4 months.

good phone all features in your pocket.

bad battery life if you use all the features.

Camera, video, design

battery life

Camera superb -speacially daylight pictures. Free download maps

Battery life , but you could max battery life by switching off GPS when you don't need it. when navigation is on if you get a telephone call you loose the navigation screen. I haven't tested fully - Nokia technical can say something about this.

camera is good

battery life is very short

Phone sat nav Internet access into one product

Average battery life too poor

design is cool.camera good quality but a bit slow allround an ok phone

bluetooth poor seems to only want to connect to other nokia products 'hmmm' battery life poor can only last one day at times camera opertation can be a bit slow dosent come with a memory card

Battery Life is poor and I would not get Nokia again

phone is fantastic

battery life is poor

The large screen makes easy veiwing Good photos

easily switched on in pocket or bag not being able to lock the keypad

the picture quality is brillant, when taking photo's and recieving photo messages.

the battery life is not at all good.

it has everything you want included in the phone. the 8gb memory is tops.. easy to send text messages.

having to exit everything, would be much better if when you slid the phone down it exits automatic.

very easy to use sond quality great graphics brill

battery life not too good

packed with great stuff!

Slow softwear and poor battery life!

Its all good.

There is no bad points, well not as yet .

The battery life is absolutely terrible. I would never buy this type of product again!

i like the phone as you can do so many thing with it such as satellite navigation, take photo and listen to the radio to name a few

the opnly down side is that although if you do all these things in one day your battery wont even last the day!!!!

Plenty of functions,text screen good.

Unable to use GPS,access to internet,no text symbols or animations.

very good phone with a brilliant camera. also very easy to use

extremely poor battery life. web browsing sometimes a bit slow

every thing fine until gremlins appeared

phone locks up on receiving texts and calls at least once a fortnight. Battery shows full charge then totally disscharges itself. occaisionally while on charge the screen locks up also. i am constantly removing the battery to unlock the screen,where it has locked an incoming call detail. every person i have spoken to with this phone have been pleased, so have i got a defective unit?

Camera & Music player are great. Easy to use all of the features.

Freezes sometimes when connected to Bluetooth car kit, Has to switched off & on again to get working. SatNav not as good as I thought it would be, good feature but not as good as having a stand alone product.

lots of features, great for those who love to play. battery charges really quickly

the battery run low really quickly
