- Battery could last longer but i guess you could say that about all phones. If Nokia could give this phone a battery with a bit of a kick i think they would be on to a real winner.

- it is difficult to 'extract' numbers or email addresses from an SMS which was a great feature on all the other Nokia phones I have had. Also do not like the head phone socket positioning. Please bring back the LED tourch light you had on the old rubber coated phone it was ans always will be the best feature ever put on a phone.

Score 10.0/10+ It is simply the best phone, camera and handheld pc I have ever had. It has amazing features and gadgets loaded onto it. I can't think of anything it doesn't have. Its a camera, a database, a pc, a game station, a tv and dvd player oh and a phone! its great and everyone I show it to is blown away with it and immediately wants one. I can't wait to see how Nokia are going to better this!!

Score 8.0/10+ This is a brilliant phone, if you don't mind the fact that it isn't one of the smaller ones out in the market today. It's easy to use and the sound quality is exceptional. I can actually browse the web, check my emails, and watch a movie quite easily and with pleasure. The camera on this phone is the best I've come across yet.
- Although I would recommend N95, there are few things you need to know if you're thinking about getting this phone. The battery life on this phone is UNBELIEVABLY poor. You do have to constantly charge it, which can be a bit annoying. And it is quite bulky (just like holding a small camera in your hand). However, I think this affects men more than women since girls tend to carry their phones in their purses - besides this one's definitely a cute gadget.

Score 8.0/10+ Excellent music quality, bluetooth works well and the camera quality is top of the range. The overall look and feel of the phone is professional and would work well as a business man or womans phone. I bought this phone after my partner got it and wanted one of my own!
- The battery life is not quite up to standard, especially after the quality of the other features. I find that I need to charge it atleast every other night, or every night if it has been used alot. On the plus side, however, it only takes an hour or so to charge fully.

Angela, Manchester , “I love my phone”
Score 10.0/10+ This product is really good for a number of reasons: It's a really good looking phone, it's so easy to use because every piece of data has a help option, also it's packed with so many features it's hard to believe that something this small has all those things and more besides. It's like having a mini computer to hand, It,s great & I would reccomend it to everyone.
- The bad points I find with this product are: I was disappointed that a memory card wasn't included and the other bad point is the battery needs charging a lot. However, given the amount of features and things you can do on this phone, I'm not surprised it uses so much power. I wouldn't let this minor detail put anyone off buying this product, because all of the above make it so worthwhile.

If you want a phone that is good at everything, choosing a top-of-the-range Nokia S60 smartphone has always been a surefire bet. These are phones that tick all the boxes, continually win all the awards, and that allow you to get all the latest technology without compromise.The latest in this prestigious line - the N95 - however, has taken the concept of the do-everything phone to a completely new level. A year ago, the N80 bowled us over with its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and macro-focusing camera. Now its successor not just builds on the 3G specification, it sets a new benchmark for…
