  Strengths: Speed Fast Strong Signal Loud and Surrond Speaker Fast WLAN connection and support Big Screen Easy USB

  Weaknesses: GPS take abit long time to connect except at night and MAP is poor mostly i need to pay for the map, less compatible software and new software. The battery charge to long but use for less than a day (If we use GPS or just paly game). Camera is poor at night and not good at Macro shot! Price is a bit expensive ( I bought it $805) Design is not so good, a bit small and the leather is poor

  Overall: Good if more software and free maps especially software for GPS.

  Strengths: it is like a computer

  Weaknesses: Battery cannot last too long

  Overall: It's an amazing product. How can they make a smart phone like this that has so many functions. Forget about GPS, Mp3, Digital Cameras. You only need this guy. It is enough for you to go to anywhere. Remember one important thing! Try to have multiple chargers and batteries.

  Strengths: so many functions

  Weaknesses: battery is not good enough

  Overall: This smart phone is not just a smart phone. It is really a small computer. It has 5M camera, so taht I get rid of my camera. It has a music player, so I can get rid of my Mp3. It also has bluetooth, WiFi. Really a great one.

  Strengths: 5 Megapixel cam, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth....what more can you ask for this compact computer!

  Weaknesses: No touch screen. Needs recharging daily if wi

  Overall: Definitely an all inclusive phone! If you\\\'re looking for a portable computer, this is it. Quad band increases its use in other countries. Download other programs into this great phone and increase its use together with the other programs already in unit.

  Strengths: 5-megapixel digital camera with Carl Zeiss OpticsDVD quality videoGPS

  Weaknesses: price

  Overall: The N95, in my opinion, is the most amazing phone ever made. iPhone? Doesn't even come close to what this baby can do. With it's built in GPS, 5MP Carl Zeiss digital camera, DVD like video, and the amazingly sleek look, I wouldn't use any other phone. I do have some negatives with it though, so this isn't all roses. I don't like how when I slide it down for the media controls and it switches to landscape that it doesn't switch back to profile when I slide it back. I also don't like that it doesn't work on American 3G (or HSDPA). Over seas, of course, this isn't an issue. Things that I like: -The layout of the front keys is a vast improvement over the N80 and the N73. -The number buttons really stand out and let you feel for what number you mean to push. -The image on the screen is brilliant and beautiful. -The quality of the camera is BREATH TAKING!

  Strengths: Lots of connection Options, Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, WiFi,Quad-band, UTMS(Europe). Email client.Easily syncs with Office 2007.

  Weaknesses: No high speed for US, only Europe. However, US G3 is rare.No touch screen.

  Overall: Mine came with a 1GB mini-SD card. (Not all of the vendors sell it with this card). I bought a 2GB micro-SD card with a mini adapter and use that. Connections: I have used the N95 as an EDGE (GPRS) modem for my laptop to access the net through the T-Mobile network. I surf with it as stand-alone device both Wifi (Home Network, T-Mobile Hotspots) and and EDGE (GPRS on T-mobile t-Zones). When it is used as a modem the battery goes quickly so you need to plug it in some kind of an outlet be it car (DC) or regular AC. Applications: I installed F-Secure Mobile Security. Yes, you will need a firewall and virus protection if you surf the net stand-alone (not used as a laptop modem). Think of it as a computer that can be used as a phone. There are viruses that use text messages to do their dirty deed. There aren't as many viruses yet, but they will come. I downloaded Google Maps even though it has a built in GPS. More on that later. I downloaded the tailored GMAIL for it even though it has a pop application. I like being able to sync Mobile Bookmarks from my PC to the phone. That is, you can define bookmarks in IE or Firefox and move them to the phone bookmarks. Makes surfing easier. I have tailored my phone Google Homepage with the local weather, etc. Easy to check on what's playing at the local movie theaters while on the go. I really like and need the PC Sync for Outlook. It does not sync email with the built-in application. But, it can use any Symbian 60 app. The GPS IS SLOW to find your position. But it does do so. It has a built in mapping application which is OK. However, the special Google maps that you can download does a better job of mapping your trip. I also bought for my 2 adult sons a Nokia n73 (for the Carl Zeiss lens but no Wifi) and the Nokia N80 (so-so camera but has Wifi) since he has a great camera already. They are MUCH cheaper than the N95 and the N80 with all the connectivity options does everything I need to do. I was suckered by the 5 meg camera which I have YET to even read how to use and the GPS which is OK if you don't know where you are. I was really loving this phone until I saw an iPhone. The larger screen and more importantly, the TOUCH SCREEN are to die for. I am sure Nokia will eventually come out with a similar screen with all the capability of the N95 eventually. When they do, I will buy it!!!
