Nokia N95 gets fully peeped from top to bottom

by Brian White posted Jan 31st 2007 at 2:02PM

Although this review of the new Nokia N95 is labeled as a first impression, all the scuttlebutt was fleshed out (well, most of it) and the N95's guts were examined with clarity and precision. Thinking of picking one up? Take a look over at AllAboutSymbian. The nerdy details on the N95 are pretty decent -- but is it a smartphone? A digicam? A DAP? A....keypad? Just what is this thing, or is it everything? Well, we know it's a Symbian S60 (3rd Ed.) smartphone that sports dual-slider action (keyboard and music controls) and looks pretty ~~chunky~~ svelte for what's under the hood; but Nokia, what is up with those apparently-stringy earbuds? Is that rubber casing on the wires? We prefer the non-gangy set o'phones please. Let's hit up the good based on AAS's touchy-feely on the N95 -- very good-sounding stereo speakers built into the sides, a diet form factor compared to previous N-series units, every wire-free connectivity option you could ever need, and a 5 Megapixel cam with Zeiss optics and even VGA video capture -- what's not to love? AAS's overall impression of this unit is very good -- all the way to how the keypad looks and feels (ridgy and tactile). Need we say more?

The N95 has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on the device as well as a remote attachment that accepts the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. If you want better headphones then just buy them.

BEAUTIFUL!

Now if they can provide WCDMA 850/1900 so it'll work on Cingular, I'm in!

Brian, I thought a post like this would be so easy to do right, but you still managed to mess it up. Of course Nokia's N line are all smartphones. Also all that talk about the dumb earbuds you'd think anyone actually cares. People buy mp3 players for the player, not the included earbuds buddy, it's the same with phones. Everyone already has their favorite bluetooth headset anyway.
