Rating: - I bought this for ONE reason
I bought this phone over 9 months ago for one particular reason. I installed Slingbox Mobil on it and linked it to my Slingbox so I get live TV on the phone and whatever I get on my TV at home I get on this phone. As long as I have strong upload speeds on my home DSL service the picture is exceptional. I like all the other features of the phone, the camera is fabulous, it is very good as a phone, works well on the WEB and I do not find it too thick although it would be nice if it were thinner. BUT whenever someone sees my TV they are blown away by the concept and the quality of the picture and the sound. The coolest moment was the Monday playoff of this year's US Open (Tiger against Rocco and a broken leg). I had to play in a pro-am golf tournament that day and while everyone was trying to find out how the playoff was going - I got to WATCH it LIVE. Amazing.
Rating: - More then I expected!
I am very happy with my Nokia N95 8GB phone.
As the title says MORE THEN I EXPECTED!
I would like to take a moment to thank Amazon for
quick and courteous service.
OK. My review...
First of all the phone itself is excellent. both on and
off speaker phone. It is loud and clear. sometimes even
better quality then a land line.
Second is the music and video players. The player that
comes with the phone is great but, if you want more
diversity with different codec's try Core video player.
You can find it on most symbian forums.
People compare this phone to the iphone and, thats fine.
I've owned both now and, have to say that there are
more application and other items you can get on the N95
then the iphone...and as far as I'm concerned the call
quality is so much better with the Nokia.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate this phone a solid 9 because
of it's quirks. Being able to charge via usb is one and, with
most smart phone an occasional unscheduled reboot.
But, even with it's minor drawbacks its a phone I use in many
ways everyday and, will continue in the future.
Thank You
Rating: - Great phone - but pray that is doesn't malfunction!!
I've had N95-8GB for less than two months now. From day 1, had issues with charger pin not charging properly (need to play around a bit for it to start charging). The features of the phone are awesome - but you need to be really tech. savvy, which I luckily am. The phone is really bulky and the two-way slides isn't all that comfortable (slides when keeping in the pocket)
Over a period of time, the N95-8GB started acting really flaky and eventually, the phone would reboot by itself. Some problem with the power switch. I sent the phone back to Nokia for repair. The online status first showed - 'Waiting for parts' and then, after a few days they simply shipped the phone back saying it has corrosion!! The phone has never been wet, so I don't understand how could there be corrosion. I smell something fishy - maybe they didn't have parts so they are making this up!
When I called customer support, the rep said that the phone can catch corrosion by keeping it in the pocket or from humidity (I live in Chicago, close to lake Michigan)!! I was shocked with this response. Nokia expects that men won't keep the phone in the pocket?? Anyway, spoke to a couple reps and even a supervisor, but they simply refused to repair the phone. This is just pathetic customer service. Nokia just lost a faithful customer and an avid marketer of their product - for the last 10+ years, I've only used Nokia phones - I guess it's time to switch manufacturers!!
New buyers - BEWARE. As long as your phone doesn't go bad, your fine. If it does, be prepared to dump your investment.
Rating: - Almost a year with this beauty
I dont want to add much to already reviewed feautures.I bought this phone in Nov 2007 and till now did not have single problem.
Meanwhile I tried iphone 3G, Motorazr2 V9 and Sony ericsson W580i... but now back to this powerful Nokia.
I use this for browsing,checking mails and everyday in Gym as a music device. Battery is really good, and reception exceptional.
