NOKIA N95

Nothing is impossible for the Finns!!!. Just pick up the Nokia N95 and all your doubts about the previous statement will be dispelled. The N95 is a revolutionary product combining satellite navigation, a cutting-edge 5-megapixel camera, media player and PDA functions in a handset that somehow isn't the size of a brick.

Design

The N95 is a slim beauty among smartphones, weighing just 120 g (with size
of 99 x 53 x 21 mm),   but is a true "fatty" with respect to the great
amount of functions it offer. This phone is a slider, (but here comes the
surprise) it slides in both directions... push the screen up and the keypad can be seen, slide it down to reveal a touch-sensitive suite of media-player controls. The screen shifts to landscape format for watching video or listening to music. However, there is no spring to facilitate opening and friction between plastic surfaces causes creaky sounds during opening. The 40 x 53 mm display, largest in N series, is imbedded and offers relatively good protection against scratching. However it is a real fingerprint magnet.
But the surface is matt so it is not a cause of worry.

Despite it's trim look, the Nokia engineers have managed to find room on the sides for stereo speakers, volume keys and two really cool features: a standard 3.5mm headphone socket and a TransFlash memory card slot behind a flap. Another awesome touch is that instead of Nokia's proprietary Pop-Port, a standard mini-USB jack is used for syncing with PC. The pair of earbuds with the N95 are a real disappointment. They distort sound, look cheap, tinny and should be upgraded immediately.
