always loved using Nokia phones untill recently.
I purchased N95 8GB from a US website and it worked beautifully about 18 months until my internal memory got corrupted. I spent more than 100 hours on the phone with Nokia support (which hard to understand and speak English, call centre was somewhere in Philippine) finally they gave up and asked me to sen the phone for repaire to a third party service centre in the US (NOKIA DOESN’T HAVE ANY LOCAL SUPPORT – THIS SUCKS). I sent the phone three times to this place and every time they sent it claiming that they have fixed it. The truth of the matter is NOT fixed. The last time they sent it back without any docs and when I called them they said. Sorry we can’t fix it. At any cost
This phone cost me more than $500.00 and now it is useless in less than 20 months.
NOKIA get a grip and be serious about supporting you products. If you have any chance in making it big in the US, get you fat AS—-SS here and support your product properly.
Anybody who lives in the US and thinking about buying a NOKIA phone think again.

Pros:
Crashes, battery life

Cons:
What did you find were the cons of this product?

Best mobile phone, I love the free GPS feature. You can browse the internet, not just mobile pages, it has flash player also. The 5mp camera with flash is awesome, I would add only image stabilization. It has decent media player features and connectivity. You can use any mp3 or video file as a ringtone. I had some problems with the sliding body, while holding it in my pocket it slided unlocking the phone and I made some calls I didn’t know about. It has a symbian OS, so you can add aplications easily. The wifi feature is great and easy to connect to a network. The battery life is average, I have to put on the charger every night to be sure it will not ran out of power.

It is definitely pricey, but if you want a great phone with excellent features, you can’t go wrong with it.

Pros:
lightweight, gps, great camera,internet

Cons:
sliding design flaws

I had this phone for a few months but I decided to get rid of it. It’s battery life was catastrophic. If you listen to the radio or play a few mp3 songs and have 2-3 short calls it barely will last from the morning until the evening. The radio is very poor, the reception is bad, no RDS. I had Sony Ericsson phones with perfect radios so I can tell that it is crap in the N95.

You can add a lot of information to the contacts but when you want to access it, it is displayed in an almost useless way. Voice commands aren’t customizable, this feature is also almost useless. Voice dialling will dial the default number, you cannot chose which one to dial, so it’s pretty useless unless only a single number is assigned to a contact.

The camera is good, I took some excellent photos with it. The media player is great, not as good as on an mp3 player, but this is a phone anyway. fine if not as intuitive as some. The screen is excellent, it displays a lot of useful information in standby mode. I would not recommend this phone to anyone, it has some good features but most of them are not working the way they should, also I had frequent crashes, only removing and reinserting the battery helped.

Pros:
features, camera, speed

Cons:
crashes, battery life, fm radio
