Nokia N95 Slide Phone 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Reviewer left no comment

- it is broken, again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+ easy to use

- battery does not last long between charges

+ Firstly its a symbian S60 3rd Edition so you can add so many new softwares. The camera is just brilliant, web Browsing is good, its got GPS which many mobiles do not have. It also has an accelerometer which means the phone knows which position it is in, and there are many softwares like NokMote or RotateMe for this.

- The GPS is very slow and all webpages arent viewable.

+ The Screen size is quite big and has great resolution. It's also a good size phone rather than one that feels like it will snap if you press the keys to hard.

- The keys are slightly to small which makes texting a bit harder as frequently the wrong keys get pressed and whilst I know bad spelling is acceptable in texting, I try to avoid it. Also the location of the apostrophe has moved down the No. 1 key to seven clicks. it used to be three!

+ Stylish, compact, excellent features and overall its a Nokia !

- Small keyboard (some keys are to near to upper phone body) and wont link with a bluetooth keyboard

+ Nice looking phone

- Switches itself off regularly for no reason. signal cuts out regularly. would like to change it!!!

+ Great to have e-mail accessability whilst on the move

- I cant get a decent cover to stop the phone scraching up.. have tried a leather one with a flap which was too anoying, and clear plastic covers that break too easily... would like to find a clear silicon cover.....

+ very customizable, lot's of useful 3rd party applications available. Very smart, smartphone

- battery life. Needs charging once a day

+ Camera, MP3 player, GPS

- small screen

+ Excellent camera quality, no compromise on other features and the operating system moves much quicker andmore smootly between applcations than previous N series mobile I had

- Perhaps due to it being multi purpose and such a great toy (!) the battery doesn't seem to last as long as previous handsets. Not an excessively short time span, but a minor niggle.

+ Very good phone, packed with lots of features and an excellent camera, very easy to use especially if you have used a Nokia previously.

- Battery life is shocking, how do Nokia expect a user to carry two batteries with them for a single days use!

+ The fact that you can upgrade the memory card from 8mb to 16mb if you want, it is great for both photos and music.

- The cancel button (C) is to close to the Red end call button and when you are texting it will cancel the message and you then have to navigate back through the menu's to the messaging software and it is a major pain in the bum!!!!

+ totally amazing phone!! bursting with so many features it's hard to fault it. the two way slide is really impressive and the five megapixel camera speaks for itself, fantastic phone and a complete must for any gadget lover.

- the only fault i have with an otherwise brilliant phone is the VERY poor batery life. if i'm lucky i'll get a full day out of it, however, if i dont charge it every night it's useless! so frustrating!!!!

+ Easy to use, looks good, software good but have to purchase too much some of it should part of the phone, camera is excellent, so is the quality of sound.

- The battery life is not too good considering the type of phone and what it's used for. Not enough of the essential software you need with the phone, for example quick office. You expect your computer to be pre loaded with this type of software, considering the phone and what you use it for, you would also expect it on this type of phone too.

+ good camera and video very easy to use all round good phone

+ nice phone looks good

- Battery life is not good and find it had to get around the menu

+ The photographs are perfect

- The phone is prone to malfunctioning

+ It does everything you need a mobile to do

- A little on the large side but obviously this size to accommodate all features

+ Better than i expected, lighter than it looks and many people winge about the battery life. But if you don't have every application on and running, battery can last around 5 days. Not that bad really

- sat nav is naff

+ Ease of use, style of phone, material used for back of phone construction. Diary.

- battery could last longer, small key pads.

+ Camera and storage

- Battery life is terrible, have to charge it every day n it constantly runs out when im at work

+ Packed with features

- Navigating around the phone a bit fussy to use, GPS not particularly good

+ Easy to use

- BATTERY

+ It's really easy to use - which is a real bonus for me as I am a proper technophobe, but with the huge screen and simple icons, even I have have been able to master it! And unlike other phones, you can still see the screen in daylight.
The MP3 player is awesome - easily as good as my ipod shuffle, and the multi function facility means I can have the mp3 playing in the car when I have the sat nav facility working at the same time. It's really pretty nifty to hear the music quieten for a second while you get the next sat nav direction.
This phone looks and feels like it's a good quality & robust piece of kit.

- The keypad has deep ridges at either slide for the main body to slide over it, but these ridges make it really hard to use the keypad for texting. This is something I thought I would get used to after I had had it for a while, but I haven't. Nokia really do need to do something about this as it is a problem that might stop people from choosing this phone.
The battery life is pretty poor too - I know this is due to the huge number of features available on the phone and the amount of juice needed to operate them, but it fairly irritating to have to charge the phone daily.
Top tip- when using the sat nav or mp3 facility in the car - use an in car charger or the phone battery will have died before you reach your destination!

+ The Camera is excellent quality and downloading pictures are excellent and easy, design is brilliant . I enjoy the phone. Already recommended it to friends who have purchased one.

- The battery life seems to be very poor always having to charge it when I return from work or done some browsing on the web.

+ The phone overall is very good and I am pleased with it and the features that it has. I find it easy to use and work my way round the phone and I've not experienced any major faults with the phone.

- The only "bad" point I would comment on is the Battery Life - I seem to have to charge my phone almost every other day. Also sometimes my signal is easily lost and this then causes problems with calls/messages.
Overall though nothing really to complane about.

+ Its features in theory are good, sat nav, web, camera etc.

- Battery life is dismal, sat nav is virtually non functional, navigation is clumsy to say the least, I would definately not take this phone again given the chance and have considered cutting my losses and changing it anyway.

+ It's got a very good camera!

- Battery life is rubbish
plus various other things...

+ Excellent Camera and Video capture. Very good access to the WWW and emails.

- Battery life is abysmal, GPS takes too long to syncronise and appears to be simply a gimic. Build quality is not as good as it could be.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- the camera lens keeps getting jammed, shame as the camera itself is awesome

+ It is a good working phone, compact, well organize and in case in need of camera/video, instant I can use it.

- It is the battery - short of life.

+ S60 software ensures a huge range of applications can be added to the phone. Great music player, good web browser and very easy to navigate with a lot of cool features.

- Battery life can be woeful if you use it as anything other than a phone. I use the music player for 2 hrs a day to travel to work and the battery lasts about 2 days. That said, if you don't use it, the battery can last about 5 days.

+ First time i have bought a nokia, great phone easy to use lots of help pages to help you navigate around the phone

- Not alot really maybe the battery life.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- battery only lasts a day and a bit if you are lucky. very bulky. wish i never got it. sorry but not recommonded

+ Overall range of features and compact size. Mapping application is excellent.

- Battery life is absolutely awful. Have had to buy a second battery and dual charger from e-bay.

+ The phone has everything that anyone would ever require. Can't think of anything that the phone doesn't have that would improve it, feature wise.

- The only bad point I can think of is the batery life. Went to Germany recently and phone was fully charged on the morning I left. The next morning, the battery was so flat, it wouldn't even switch on.

+ Excellent music player with good integral speakers. Easy to use 5 megapixel camera and video camera. Can be easily connected to a home PC to download and upload info. Web browsing is as viewed on a home PC and the phone will connect easily to WLAN.

- The keylock function is to easily defeated meaning the phone can be activated an dial out in your pocket.

+ its just so cool ,it has it all plus more

- what bad points

+ It is very compact and easy to use, the camera capabilities are good and it makes life easier when doing family and friend activities because now i only have to carry around my phone and not another camera.

- Because it is compact the keys are a bit small and close together, I live a very busy life so I am always on the move and in a hurry so when i try to make a quick text i often hit numerous keys in my hast. I don't have fat fingers either lol.

+ It is easy to use and access to the internet is good

- The battery life isn't very good and I am for ever pushing the slide the wrong way but you can't account for the dopey operator.

+ Good For Music, Internet And Camera

- Keeps Crashing an The Battery Life Is Really Poor

+ None really

- Keeps turnin off, freezing, not doing what its meant to etc

+ lots of great features, love the on screen schedule very handy, txtin so easy

- battery life is terrible always seems to be on charge lol software also seems to be too advanced freezes now and again

+ The phone is an amazing piece of technology. It has everything someone could expect from a phone which is almost a computer.

- Occasionaly the software ay seem slow but this is due to the small ram memory, which problem has now been foxed by the release of the new firmware.

+ Great phone, easy to use. Not used sat nav yet but phone is packed with some great features. Recommend this phone

- Battery live not brilliant but not as bad as some of the reports stated.

+ The Main good thing about this phone is the amount of features camera music calendar phone but to name a few

- the battery life which is awful must be the most bad

+ Intuitive Interface, Good Quality Camera, USB Modes Make Life Easier, 3.5mm Capability Is Excellent

- Battery Life, Software Sometimes Unstable, Boot Time.

+ so many features negates need for ipod and separate camera

- battery life is poor and goes down rapidly

+ Generally a great phone, which looks good and has lots of useful features.

- Keypad a bit fiddly.

+ there is alot on it and the camera is good, you can also store alot of music on it

- the battery life is low and if you dont exit out of an application, than it stays on which also uses up your battery.
its a complicated ohone as there is alot on it.
to get alot stored on it you have to buy a memory card otherwise there is not alot of memory on it.

+ LOOKS GOOD, EASY TO USE, LOADS OF FUNCTIONS

- BATTERY RUNS DOWN TOO QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH TEXT MESSAGES, IKEEP SENDING THEM TO DRAFTS WHEN SPACING BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUTTONS

- It keeps crashing. I want to get my one repaired/replaced

+ good style and camera.
easy to use software

- low battery life.

+ The internet is quick.

- The battery life is very, very poor. The slide on the phone breaks and starts to click. The music player tends to fast forward instead of skiping to next song. The phone doesnt auto lock itself when unlocked with buttons, unless you slide the phone up and down.

+ features on this phone are great the picture and video quality are excellent and the music sounds great

- battery life poor need to recharge every day.......

+ Sleek, modern and very useful. Music, Camera and Internet are excellent.

You can also download your applications and install them, such as rotate me, which makes your N95 like the iPhone, rotate the phone and the screen changes to landscape!
Highly recommended!

- Only bad point about this phone is the battery life!

+ its stylish,cool lookin, loads of great features and the camara is just mint

- the only bad point ive got is the battery life it doesnt make a full day without moanin at me to charge him up

bad batteri life

+ easy to use every single progamme you are ever likely to need

- you need to buy a larger memory card to use the phone fully

+ camera is realy good !! .. its like a mini computer the wireless network is cool

- keylock is a bit slow and locking itself and the battery doesnt last that long .. on average 2 days .. ish

+ This phone is packed with so many features, it's wonderful, has a lot of storage memory, for music, pictures, messages, and more. I like the fact that you can attach this phone to anything with an RGB input. For example attaching it to a tv to view pictures, videos on a greater scale or attaching it to a pair of quality spaekers to listen to music. The overall phone is excellent!!

- The phone is a little big, but you get used to it after a while. The battery life could be a bit better. The outer appearance of the phone could be a little better.

+ The phone has many good features but is especially good for listening to music. The camera is also very good quality.

- The only thing i find frustrating about this phone is having to constantly go in and exit out of things or it keeps the file open and running.
Also the phone is a little chunky.

+ Excellent wireless web browsing. Massive storage. Fast start up. Black colour.

- Insane headphones - why is one lead shorter than the other?

- cant here the other person sometimes they are to quiet to hear

+ the camera and access to email are very good. it is a nice sturdy phone

- The Battery Life is awful.

+ Good phone, camera

- WIFI does NOT work at all, there is a bug in the firmware that Nokia wont fix so it will never accept DHCP adresses from WIFI networks, which makes this phone as useful as an N70.

+ the phone takes better pics and vids than my digital cam!

- not keen on the slide open in both ways

+ there is an excellent camera on it and the music is clear and loud

- the battery life isnt that long due to all the things you can do on it and the size could be smaller

+ stores loads ov files e.g music, photos & videos etc with high quality playback

+ this phone is probly the best phone avaliable at the moment, i have had this for about 4 months now and it is brilliant. you can add many extra applications to the phone. i have tom tom on it, i can use it as an universal remote control, has divx so i can watch movies without converting them, i use it as a blurtooth wirless webcam, i do alot of running and have nokias sportstracking software installed which tracks my running with the onboard gps which is awsome. i have many many more apps on the phone which are usefull and fun..

- its alittle on the chunky side..

+ everything works

- battery life is not very long

+ Reviewer left no comment

- My Phone memory is too low to recieve messages, bluetooth, voice calls. Although I can`t ddelete anything from the memory as there is nothing to physically remove.

+ The sheer amount of features that are available on this phone. Out for a walk, I can have the GPS receiver tracking my progress, I can be listening to music, and reading e-mails - all at the same time. The quality of video on the camera is good enough to put onto a DVD. Battery life is usually slated on this phone but if I don't use it, I find the battery will last 2 or 3 days on standby.

- The GPS receiver is not very good. The Assisted GPS improves it greatly, and I can get a fix in about 20 seconds, but if you put the phone away in your pocket, it loses signal very easily, so it's not very good if you simply want to record your progress whilst out walking or cycling.

+ great all round phone easy to use etc

- The phone does not shut down the person at the other end of the line when closing the sliding lid. Also there is no options for using the sliding lid..ie truning it off or on.

+ Picture quality, the screen size reviewing pictures

- Battery does not last long enough, The Sat nav function it took a while to get working, and there is no detail when you do get on. plus it costs a lot. I would noly use this function if I was completly lost.
