We've finally managed to get our hands on the Nokia N95, the most eagerly anticipated handset of the last 6 months!
And we have to say look pretty nice! As well as having some of the most
advanced features ever to be seen in a mobile phone, it literally has more computing power than my first PC (as this point I think I want to cry!)
Where do I start to describe it? Well the screen is slightly
bigger than my current handset, the trusty Nokia N91, so its got the thumbs up there. This is handy for use with the wi-fi that it has built in, making reading web sites that little bit easier. It also helps for the sat nav, yes I said SAT NAV! Forget Tom Tom with its UK only maps, the Nokia N95 has maps for 100 countries with over 15 million points of interest pre loaded into it, so no messing about there.
And how about this! A slider phone that slides both ways! Pretty neat. On the bottom you have all the usual keys for making a phone call or sending a text, but slide it the other way and you have the control keys for the built in music player.
The N95 comes with 160 meg of memory built in, and it also has a micro SD card slot so you can add up to another 2 gig, more than enough to keep even the most musically discerning of you happy.
A lot of mobile phones are packed with features, true, but its the sheer extent of the features that the N95 packs that is truely astonishing. And its not even that heavy either. At 120 grams, its lighter than the bulky old 6680, and considerably lighter than the oddly shaped music phone the N91 at 166 grams. Just how do they do it?
And its not exactly huge either. With dimensions of 99 x 53 x 21 is shorter and thinner than both of those two phones, and crucially its also shorter and less wide than another of its potential big rivals, the imminent Apple iPhone!
The Nokia N95 is available now from Dial-a-Phone on a monthly contract
