Nokia N95 Review: Best Smartphone Ever
MobileBurn have written a massive review of the Nokia N95 spanning 12 pages. It’s an interesting review and goes through all of the amazing capabilities of the Nokia N95. It’s a long read so I’ll jump straight to the summary:
But the reality of the situation is that the N95 is a brilliantly conceived mobile phone that is nearly crippled by its battery life. A device such as this begs to be used, but the battery is not even remotely close to being up to the task. If it weren’t for the fact that the N95 does almost everything not only well, but superbly, the battery life would be an instant deal breaker. But due to its near other-worldly capabilities, I feel it deserves some leeway, and as such I still give it a “Recommended” rating. If the battery issue didn’t exist, I would probably have considered the N95 to be the best non-QWERTY smart phone ever developed to date.
Despite the recommendation, I’m still in two minds about whether or not to get a Nokia N95 to replace my Nokia N80. I like the idea of having a a smartphone that can do every task I can imagine, but not one that I have to charge every 3-4 hours.
I’ll guess I’ll have to see what my alternatives are whenever the N95 finally becomes available in the UK.

The Satnav On the Nokia N95 didn’t work, so i sued Nokia through After 30 days there was no response from Nokia and the court ordered them to refund me £300….Heres my case sent to http://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk
“Goods “not fit for purpose”.Claimant purchased a Nokia N95 mobile phone with GPS satnav. At no stage did the GPS work properly. The Claimant contacted T-mobile(sellers)who informed him that responsibility laid with NokiaUk. Nokia offered many fixes&advice on various software updates and patches &other ways to correct the defect(e.g “assisted GPS”). Many hours (hundreds) were expended over several months followingAdvice but to no avail. In Nov2007 the defendant informed the claimant that nothing further Could be done&the claiment took this as an admission that the product was “not fit for purpose”. Prior to purchase the claimant researched the manufacturers specs (nokia.com). The phone was purchased from T-mobile (In-house sales line). TheClaimant made it clear to the salesperson that he only wished to purchase a phone with GPS capabilities. He was assured that the GPS would be effective.During the same call the purchase was made. The GPS proved innefective and the claimant now seeks a refund of the costs incurred with this purchase”

I would say the problem with N series as a whole is the poor battery life and Symbian OS getting hang most of the times. This problem has been reported even in N95.

With GPS slated to be a part of the iPhone package, There is still no good comparison to iPhone with N95.

I bought N95 some 20 days ago and I think the battery life isn’t that bad.
Ashish: They’ve changed the battery with a wider one in N95

Agreed tarsand - I’m getting an average of 1.5 days charge out of mine which is more than enough
