Nokia N95’s popularity growing!
The Nokia N95 has been lauded in mobile phone reviews as a great smartphone, so can the new Nokia N95 8GB build on that? More than that, is it a major revamp of a classic or just an upgrade?
It’s a bit of both, really. The biggest difference is the increase in memory, now with 8GB on board, although sadly there’s no card slot to let a user to add to that, which seems like a major omission in today’s market, where features demand a lot of memory.
What else is new? The battery is much better. The original N95 wasn’t too good on battery life, but this is greatly improved, allowing users to take full extended advantage of all the smartphone capabilities.
About the only other difference is a slightly larger screen. That’s an advantage for both pictures and video, although it’s really just a case of keeping up with the competition. So it’s really more a case of tweaking the phone than making any radical alternations – and given the success of the N95, perhaps that’s all that’s really necessary.
Those who love the old N95 and are looking to replace it will be very pleased by the Nokia N95 8GB. Others, however, might not be as easily convinced. It’s a good phone, and does everything well, but it’s been outdistanced by offerings from other handset manufacturers. With just a little more work, especially offering a card slot for more memory, it could have been a really outstanding offering from Nokia.
