Nokia's N95 8GB released with a Spider-Man 3 surprise {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 5th 2007 5:27PM @Gier. The features that are on the N95 are nice EXTRA things to have for a cellphone, and it comes with a price and limitations. As promising as its camera is in taking pics and vids, I will not use my N95 to shoot my sister's wedding, would you? As handy as its wifi feature is, I will still use my laptop when I'm at a coffee shop and need to do heavy internet browsing. As entertaining as its pre-installed games are, I'd still prefer to play with my Xbox or WII when I'm at home. As vibrant as its 2.8" screen is, I'd still prefer to play my DVD's on my 42" plasma TV in my bedroom when I'm home. Now, when can I make use of these N95 "nice to have" extra features? I could quickly browse the web for movie listings while I'm on the go to meet up with friends. I could listen to its MP3 player or watch Spiderman3 while on a short trip on the plane or at the airport waiting for my flight. I could play one of the installed games while in line to pay at Costco on a busy weekend, or when I'm in a boring staff meeting with the CEO. Those are the times where those extra features come in handy. Not when you're doing a major project for Donald Trump.

Dec 5th 2007 5:04PM @Geir. Why? What was your expectation with this phone? Which promise did Nokia give that didn't live up to your expectations? The N95 is still a cellphone at the end of the day, just like the rest of multi-media smartphones. The N95 promises easy web browsing capabilities, but it would never be as great as your HP laptop in browsing the web and performing other PC tasks. It boasts of its beautiful 2.8" screen, but it cannot be as beautiful as your Sony 42" plasma TV at home with Bose surround sound. It promises beautiful pics, but it's only the closest thing you'll ever get from a camera phone compared to a standalone 7megapixel Panasonic digital camera. Were you actually expecting the N95 to REPLACE ALL of your standalone media machines? LOL. Was that the Nokia promise that you are referring to? With your mentality sir, none of these multi-media phones will ever satisfy your needs. Unless you can tell us that your new HTC phone can replace all those said media, then I don't see why you find the N95 so disappointing. If I were you, just stick with the most basic phones that you can get for $30 or less without a contract, for that is what phones are really about, making and receiving calls =)

Dec 5th 2007 4:36PM I am not getting you at all. I've had the original N95, and my only complain was its fit and finish which has now been taken care of with the new N95 8gb. It's not a perfect phone, but there is nothing disappointing with its performance at all. Why? What feature of the N95 that totally made this phone so disappointing for you? The only thing I find disappointing with the N95 is browsing the web, but I find browsing the web disappointing with ALL CELLPHONES in general anyway. I would ALWAYS leave that chore to my laptop. Why? What does your HTC do that totally makes the N95 so disappointing? Does it call your contacts before you even dial their numbers? Does it type your text message for you even before you start typing, and it knows exactly who you're going to send it to? If your HTC phone doesn't do those things that I've mentioned, then I don't think your complains about the N95 are at all valid.
