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?
