Nokia N95: An Overview


With the Nokia N95 sprawled open in landscape mode, it is not difficult to see why the device is called as a multimedia computer rather than a handset. It literally looks like a baby laptop and its features when studied in detail give even more credence to this claim. The innovative 2-way slide concept makes it easy to switch between different modes, going from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys slide out from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen landscape mode.

With powerful 3D graphics, the Nokia N95 has a stunning user interface that makes it intuitive to find the features and services you want.
GPS has finally got the importance that it rightfully deserves with the N95. No longer content as an add-on application, the Nokia N95 makes the GPS integrated with a special maps application. The Maps application includes maps for more than 100 countries, enabling users to explore the world, find specific routes or locate services such as restaurants and hotels and covering more than 15 million points of interest.

You can also purchase additional features, such as city guides and voice guided navigation. The N95 has 160 megs of internal memory which can be easily enhanced using a hot swappable microSD card. Upto 2 gigs capacity cards can be used in the N95 and Nokia plans to release full length movies on such cards for the benefit of users.

Like the Nokia N75, the N95 also has a breathtaking display, its a large 2.6" QVGA with capacity to show 16 million colors. And thats not it, with 3D graphics which are complemented with 3D sounds from the stereo speakers, watching movies will be as good as carrying around a mini movie theatre. The web browser has been a extremely well designed browser for the smaller display which does not compromise on the browsing experience. It comes with a Mini Map, with new features such as a floating toolbar, password manager and auto complete, as well as web feeds with support for Atom and auto update.

Considering that the Nokia N95 will be based on Nokia's widely acclaimed Series 60 operating system, a lot of applications will already be available for the handset when it debuts. Further applications will be easy to develop considering the experience that programmers already have with Symbian.

It is now available in India at a price of Rs 35,000.
