Combining a cell phone, GPS receiver, digital camera/camcorder, digital audio player, and PDA into an all-in-one multimedia computer/phone, the stylish silver-and-bronze Nokia N95 features a unique 2-way slide design for easy switching between telephony, entertainment, and Web browsing. The quad-band Nokia N95 GSM/EDGE phone is also ready to run on 3G networks here in the US (850/1900 MHz UMTS), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go. It also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, at home, and on the road from a variety of wireless hotspots.
It's based on S60 software operating on the Symbian OS, enabling you to personalize the N95 by choosing from a wide choice of compatible applications that can be downloaded--including games, navigation, entertainment, and productivity titles. This version of the Nokia N95 (model N95-3) has an internal 160 MB memory, and it includes a MicroSD expansion slot compatible with cards up to 4 GB in size.

The innovative 2-way slide concept makes it easy to switch between different modes, going from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys slide out from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen landscape mode.
With the Carl Zeiss optics on the 5-megapixel camera, you can capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips. Carl Zeiss, a world leader in high quality camera lenses, brings an award-winning legacy to the Nokia N95 with state-of-the-art optics for mobile photography and mobile video. The Zeiss name has been associated with cameras from Hasselblad, Rollei, Yashica, Sony, and Nikon.

Customer Review: Awesome!!!
This is an amazing phone! I use it pretty much for everything, mp3 player, watching dance clips, portable hard drive, camera, and surfing the web when I'm too lazy to turn on the computer. The spec says max capacity is 2GB MicroSD but I'm using an 8GB Sandisk and it's working fine.
It's sync'd to my google calendar using goosync, I know it can be used as a modem too, still trying to figure it out, but it's not that important to me. The speakers are amazingly loud.
A common comment is that it's bulky, but I think the form-factor makes it seem smaller than it is. I've never felt it too bulky in my pocket.
One good surprise was when I first turned it on, it prompted me asking if I wanted to import a phone book via bluetooth from another phone. Within a minute my whole contacts list was in the phone (over 300 contacts). I was dreading having to type these in manually.
Another thing I noticed is that I used to carry my Cannon SD900 around with me to take pictures of everything. With the 5MP camera and bright flash, I have one less thing in my pocket. I post pictures and upload youtube videos within minutes of taking them.
Go Nokia!!!
Customer Review: crappy,crappy,crappy!
I bought this phone thinking that it was going to be everthing that I needed. But when it came and just a little playing around with it, it holds no candle to a Blackberry. Say what you wish about Blackberries or crackberries but to those who haven't used will never know. This phone has a great camera and that's it! If you need to organize your day to day and still have a great media manager check out the curve, otherwise if you want an expensive camera phone go for it......yuck
