Nokia’s N95 has come on in great strides since it was first released. When I saw an early review sample I was not overly impressed. The device itself felt plasticy in build, and the software was not as robust as it could be.Things have moved on, though, and Nokia re-released the N95 with 8GB of built-in memory and improved software. Oh, and the phone is black as opposed to the original N95’s rather grubby silver.This is a chunky phone, but there is an awful lot going on inside it. In terms of size you are looking at a device that’s 99mm tall, 53mm wide and 21mm thick. It has a slider format and, most unusually, there are two sliders.

Nokia N95 8GB Reviews  From cnet

The good:

The Nokia N95 (8GB) features 8GB of internal memory and has a spacious 2.8-inch display and 3G support. The smartphone also includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera, and robust multimedia capabilities.

The bad:

The 8GB N95 can be sluggish at times, and call quality could have been better. There’s no expansion slot, and it’s also very expensive.

The bottom line:

Offering ample memory, a larger screen, and 3G support, the 8GB Nokia N95 is sure to please those looking for the ultimate in multimedia/cell phone convergence, but you’ll pay for the features, and there are some performance issues.
