What I really would like though is the higher internal memory... in this sence the N95-3 would maybe be the perfect handset. It has the micro-sd slot, the larger battery and the larger ammount of mem. You only have to deal with the smaller screen and no cool black color. As a side note, the next firmware of the N95 will very likely incorporate demand paging which should solve the memory issues. Also, when youre using the N95 for a lot of webbrowsing the battery of even the 8GB is not going to suffice. Best to just cary with you a second one in your wallet like I do :-D]]>Nov 7th 2007 4:09AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
I am considering in like 3-4 paychecks picking up a n95 8gb and seeing if i can transplant the screen on... = D]]>Nov 6th 2007 9:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 6th 2007 9:44PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 7th 2007 12:42AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 6th 2007 9:51PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 6th 2007 11:16PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 7th 2007 10:22AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 6th 2007 11:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
Hey Engadget, BTW why is YOUR web site still not friendly to visually impaired folks? Scrolling right and then left to see the entire screen is rather annoying. Please fix it. ]]>Nov 6th 2007 11:52PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 8th 2007 10:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 7th 2007 1:08AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
and going to allaboutsymbian.com regarding a review on a S60 phone is like going to engadget and looking for a review on a Apple product. of course it's gonna be biased.]]>Nov 7th 2007 1:44AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
Engadget? Biased? noooooooo...

I like the memory card slot because I do a lot of device-to-device transfers (Camera, MP3 Player, Phone, PDA, Laptop, PS3) of files and dont always have the option of using a data cable or cell network; so if it hasn't got a MicroSD slot, its out. And that's rather unfortunate, because I just saved the cash up for it. Oh well, it looks as if I'm stuck with the regular N95 or waiting, and getting stuck with second-rate so close to the top is not an option for me. If I'm dropping $600+ for a phone, it better damn well be the best, you know?

Time to throw down for a new EEE PC and Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx to complement my E62 (or maybe get an E61i)!]]>Nov 7th 2007 2:36AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
Well, that is a rather silly thing to say and very rude too. How exactly is increasing the font size and the icon size on the DESKTOP going to increase the size of the fonts on the web sites? (And further assumes that I didn't increase the fonts or the icons.)

Of course, your answer fails to account for the fact that the majority of the text displayed on the average website today are rendered as graphic which means that any tool that increases the font size is useless. Using a lowly screen resolution increases the ENTIRE screen, thus neatly solving the problem.

As for the the Nokia website, well it seem like a possibly good site for pictures...already knew that the website for the seller would be biased...it is called marketing!

Frankly not sure why you care if Engadget makes its website slightly narrower and makes its site ADA friendly. It won't affect your viewing at all and will help others.]]>Nov 7th 2007 1:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
If you run Firefox (if not it takes 2 minutes to install) go to Tools, then select options. Click on the Content tab (has a world icon in the newest build of Firefox) and in the middle of the tab there is a "Fonts and Colors" option. One of the drop down boxes, labeled "Size" will allow you to increase or decrease the FONT SIZE that is displayed in the browser. This allows people of all abilities and disabilities to have a beneficial viewing experience.

Websites don't show up the same on every monitor either. Why doesn't Engadget make their website friendlier to widescreen monitor owners?!? Why not set it to 1600x1200?!? Because you can do that yourself ;)

If for some reason you can only use another webbrowser, I'm sure they all have a similar option that you can find in the 2 minutes of poking around that it took me to solve this problem. Problem solved, no need to rewrite the site code guys!]]>Nov 8th 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
As your suggestion about the Fixfox is a possible idea if I were on the internet for all applications and never used any other application on my computer. I don't believe Fixfox would solve the font size for other apps. Windows XP Pro doesn't.

Neither of my browers have options for fonts. However, as a practical matter, even if they did it would not help as none of my other business software runs in a browser window. I would have to switch resoltion sizes every time I ran a brower. Many of the software programs I have to use for my industry are one size fits all and don't have useful things like change the font size within the program. Windows XP doesn't do a great job so the best all round solution for all applications is to use 800 x 600. This was the standard pixel resolution for many years and it is clear enough for me.

I am sorry if my use of 800 x 600 offends anyone as being not geeky enough.

You're complaining about people not supporting your computer, yet, your settings that you use are not supported by nearly any programs being made today and haven't been the "standard" for many years now.]]>Nov 8th 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
If they have to program for four other sizes, why can't they program for 800 x 600? Why should I buy a screen reader when they should comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act like they are REQUIRED!!]]>Nov 8th 2007 11:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 10th 2007 4:11AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
Oh, and for those who suggested that I buy a new monitor, tried to do that today. Couldn't find a single monitor box in any store that actually told me all of the resolution possible (apparently only maximum (tiny) resolution matters.) So I hereby GIVE UP. ]]>Nov 10th 2007 9:31PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
Hopefully by the time all these people having a go at you find their eyesight failing either through age or disease, things will have improved and they will never have to fully undertsand what you are talking about.]]>Nov 17th 2007 10:35AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/]]>Nov 7th 2007 6:40AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 7th 2007 7:11AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/Nov 7th 2007 9:28AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/06/nokia-n95-8-gb-gets-reviewed-declared-best-smartphone-ever/
I "upgraded" to a "dumb" phone - k850i & am very, very happy.

Here's something no one is mentioning: Nokia's music players don't have song bookmarking so every time you leave the player & come back you start over. This is seriously annoying for podcasts, audiobooks or any type of music where you might not want to start at the beginning. I was so bothered by this & hoped they'd send out a fix, but so far no go.
