At the back of the N95 8GB, the fiddly camera cover is gone. The advantage of not having a cover is that you no longer have to worry about the camera accidentally being activated in your pocket, which regularly happened on the original N95.
A minor but noteworthy feature is the N95 8GB’s black casing. It’s amazing how a change of colour can bring out a phone’s sexy side and we think Nokia may have sold even more original N95s if it had come in black.

When we look at N95 8GB from its left-hand side, we see that it’s an exact replica of the original, save for the absence of a memory card slot. The phone’s right, upper and lower part have not undergone any change and the arrangement of the keys and the connectors is identical with that of N95.The positioning of the camera has not changed, either: it is in the upper part of the phone’s back. The difference, however, is that the flash is under the lens and not on the right-hand side, like in N95. Another feature that is easy to notice is the lack of lens cover, which is probably due to the fact that Nokia have replaced the former 940 m?h battery with a new and thicker 1200 m?h one.

The ‘dual slider’ concept remains. The number pad slides out of one end, and out of the other, a bank of four buttons for controlling music playback. I wasn’t bowled over by the concept last time round and it doesn’t grab me much this time either, but as before, you can use these buttons to control music playback when you are in applications other than the music player, which could be handy.
As a quad-band 3G handset with front facing camera for video calling, the N95 8GB is nothing special. Nor does the 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss optics-toting main camera have the ‘wow’ factor it once did as there are plenty of 5-megapixel cameras on phones these days.

The Nokia N95 8GB has a larger screen, and in reality the 0.2″ do make a difference. The display truly looks larger than you might guess. The QVGA resolution stays the same and is adequate for providing great picture quality, especially when combined with the 16.7 million color support. Other benefits of Nokia N95 8GB over its predecessor is the doubled RAM, which makes the phone faster, even with more applications running in background. The card slot however has been ditched and this might seem perfectly coherent with the 8GB of storage space provided. On the other hand, a card slot can be very useful as a file transfer medium. Though not so frequently used, it’s worth having data transfer options. Another advantage of Nokia N95 8GB is the notably better battery life. Short battery life was probably the most criticized feature of the original N95, some heavy users reporting to have been forced to recharge a few times a day. Now, with the 1200 mAh and the demand-paging feature enabled, the Nokia N95 8GB is a real step up. The fact that only the most essential parts of the programs are loaded in the RAM memory with the rest remaining on the mass or phone memory until it is needed reduces the memory-needs of the phone and therefore increase the battery life. However, it is not all milk and honey for the Nokia N95-2. The spoon of tar is the removed camera lens cover. The newly released phone relies only on a slight recess for camera lens protection from dirt and smudgy fingers.

Nokia has really pushed the boat out with its marketing of the swish new N95. You’d be hard pressed not to have seen an advert or two boasting the wide array of features and capabilities of the phone as a ‘total mobile solution’.

After a quick look at the specs it’s not hard to see why: the most notable of inclusions is the presence of a built-in GPS receiver, the first phone of its kind to have one. There’s also a 5-megapixel digital camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and powerful multimedia support that compares nicely to modern multimedia players.

The N95 is a 3G phone, so above the screen sits the customary videocall camera. Alongside that is a light sensor and the earpiece. Below the screen is a typical slider-phone control cluster: five-way navigation key surrounded by not one but two Menu keys, soft-menu buttons, call make and break buttons.

The N95 is silver-look plastic, set in a wraparound burgundy rubber-texture piece. The red sides are home to the two stereo speakers, camera controls, volume rocker switch, MicroSD slot - under, for once, a cover that’s easy to open - infrared port and AV output. On the back is the autofocus camera and Carl Zeiss lens under a manually opened cover. You’ll find the new, skinny style power socket and a mini USB port on the phone’s base.

The Nokia N95 is a 3G Smartphone which comes is a clever two way slider opening mechanism. The phone can be opened either way which provides the user with a keypad when the screen is moved in the up position, a set of multimedia controls when the screen is moved in the down position & when in the closed position the user can use the navigation & shortcut keys. The user can use their Nokia N95 in landscape mode which is when the screen is moved to the down position which is ideal for all multimedia purposes & accessing the Internet. The screen is 2.6 Inches in size & provides a 240 x 320 pixel screen resolution on a 16 million colour TFT display. The mobile handset weighs only 120 gram which is unbelievable considering all the built in technology & capabilities. The Nokia N95 measures 99 x 53 x 21 mm which provides the user with a useable handset which has a solid feel to it.

The front of the N93i includes a mirrored finish with a hidden LCD screen that looks very impressive, but we can’t help but feel that it will be covered with scratches in no time. The keypad comprises a flat metal surface with well-spaced buttons, while the rest of the N93i is finished in silver plastic with a contrasting dark grey surface used on the underside. The most striking element, however, is the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar autofocus lens as used in Sony’s very successful slim range of digital cameras.

The integrated digital camera allows you to record high-quality videos in MP4 format at 30 frames per second and with 640 x 480 resolution. There’s 3x optical zoom and up to 8x digital, and at the highest quality, the 1GB SD card should allow roughly 45 minutes of recording. With this much storage on board, you can easily store over 500 still images at a maximum 2048 x 1536 resolution.

The phone comes with 50 Mbytes of internal memory & the user can add a MicroSD™ memory card to expand the memory capabilities to suit their storage needs. The N93i measures 108 x 58 x 25 mm which provides an easy to manage handset which fits in the users hand perfectly. The handsets weighs 163 grams including the fitted battery which provides the user with a solid feel to their N93i smart phone. The Nokia N93i comes from the same family as the Nokia N70 Music Edition, Nokia N76, Nokia N80 Internet Edition which are members of the Nokia N Series.

The Nokia N91 is a mobile phone that was released to the public in April of 2006. It is part of the Nokia Nseries range of mobile phone. It features a 2-megapixel camera and a 4GB (8GB in the “new” 2006 version) hard disk to store approximately 3,000 songs encoded in either AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, mp3PRO, WAV, MIDI, or Microsoft’s WMA format. It also features 3G and wi-fi technology. The phone features a 176 x 208, 262,144 colours TFT LCD display and dedicated music functionality buttons (XpressMusic) that slide down to reveal traditional mobile phone keys. Battery life when solely playing music has been estimated at 12 hours.

The phone features a new version of the Symbian Series 60 Operating System. It was the first phone with this version (Symbian version 9.1, Series 60 version 3.0). The new version is needed for the support of a mechanical hard disk. In the past, the version of the Symbian operating system has been a good indicator of cpu speed.

There are two things you’ll notice about the Nokia N91: it’s flashy and it’s big. À la the Nokia 8800, the all-silver N91 is certainly eye-catching, but at 4.4 by 2.2 by 0.9 inches and 5.8 ounces, the slider phone is on the larger and heftier side, making for a tight fit in a pants pocket. Even by the standards of music players, the Nokia N91 is still big and heavy. By comparison, the 4GB Cowon iAudio 6 measures 2.7 by 1.2 by 0.7 inches and 2.1 ounces. That said, the solidly constructed N91 is comfortable to hold in the hand.

The left side of the phone features a connector for the USB cable, enclosed in the retail package, and a swing volume control button. The loud speaker grill is just below the volume button. It is a pity that Nokia designers have not mounted another loud speaker on the opposite side of the body. It would have come in handy. Nokia N91 loud speaker is among the best on the market. Yet, its loudness is not sufficient for listening to music on a busy street. As it seems, Nokia 3250 remains the phone with the most powerful loud speaker in the entire Nokia family.

The Nokia N91 features a 2.2-inch-diagonal screen that shows off 262,000 colors, but it’s lower in resolution than the Nokia N80 (176×208 vs. 325×416 pixels), so text and images aren’t as sharp. Below the display are two customizable soft keys, the Talk and End buttons, and a five-way navigation toggle. In its closed state, the front cover also holds the music player controls: music access, play/pause, stop, next, and previous. Interestingly, there appears to be a select button in the middle of this control pad, but you can’t press it, and it doesn’t seem to serve a purpose.

Moving on, the N82 is of a comfortable size and the even weight distribution means we don’t have to worry about the phone slipping out of our hands. As for the choice (or lack) of colors, it’s a matter of personal opinion. We feel the metallic shade gives a very “bright” persona to the handset, but it also bears a tinge of industrial construction which may not appeal to everyone.

The Nokia N82 feels great in the hands. It is very solid and does not feel cheap or rushed to production. No loose parts or creaking sounds were noticed during my week of usage. Jeremiah feels exactly the same about the excellent build quality in as written in the Nokia User’s initial Nokia N82 impressions. Because of it’s width, smooth surface, and rounded corners, putting this phone in my pocket is also easy.

Aside from these generous connectivity options, the N82 also enjoys a wide set of multimedia features. Users can play music and watch videos, while a 5-megapixel camera with flash allows them to capture pictures and videos. The 3.5mm earphone jack means that the phone can accept standard earphones without the need for an adaptor. But by far the most useful feature of the N82 is its ability to connect to other gadgets, courtesy of the bundled component cable. This allows users to look at pictures, watch videos, and play music on HD TVs and stereos, sharing what they have with the entire room.

Between them lie the softkeys and S60 keys, with the d-pad and its center select button located in the middle. The softkeys and s60 keys are really just 2 rocker-style buttons. Pressing on the top half of the key gets the appropriate softkey function, while pressing on the lower half will trigger the S60 or “c” button. The reduced sized multimedia key is on the right, next to the “end” key and activates the new S60 multimedia menu, made up of panels with nice transition animations to facilitate a smooth look. The numeric keypad is quite different, with very small buttons that are each about the size of a grain of rice, with key labels printed directly above each button.

The software preinstalled in the N810, Vanjoki said, includes video and music players, as well as Web applications such as a browser, the Internet-telephony software Skype, Gizmo video chat, instant messaging, and GPS-integrated mapping tools. The device’s processor operates at 400 megahertz; it has 128 megabits of random-access memory, two gigabytes of internal storage, and an expansion slot that can accommodate up to eight gigabytes more.

With the N810, Nokia has added a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a built-in GPS receiver. Nokia also stuffed 2GB of built-in memory inside, with a miniSD card slot for expanded storage. The N810 retains many of the hardware features of the N800, such as a built-in VGA resolution camera for video calling, hardware buttons for zooming in and out on the interface, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The N810 uses a micro-USB port for data transfer and also sports a built-in kickstand for convenience.”

In addition, out of the box it lacks many of the features a lot of you are accustomed to in a handheld. It doesn’t come with a calendar, for example, and the N810’s address book is there to let you send people email or instant messages. You can’t put a street address into it.Also, despite being made by Nokia, this isn’t a smartphone. It has Wi-Fi, and you can use a Bluetooth-enabled phone as a wireless modem, but I know for some people this is a significant drawback.

The N800 webcam extended from the side of the device and could be rotated, whereas the N810 webcam is embedded in the face. Right above the webcam on the N810 is an ambient light sensor, which the software uses to automatically adjust screen brightness and keyboard backlighting. The top left corner of the N810 has a big notification light that will flash in various colors to indicate certain kinds of events, like when new e-mail is received. On the inside, the N810 has pretty much the same hardware as the N800. It uses the same TI OMAP 2420 processor. The N800 was clocked to 330Mhz by default, but OS2008 brings up the clock speed to 400 Mhz. The increase in clock speed is controlled by the software, so N800 users who upgrade to OS2008 will get the same boost. Like the N800, the N810 still comes with 128MB of DDR RAM and 256MB of flash memory.

The Nokia N81 & Nokia N81 8GB are members of the Nokia N-Series which includes other popular phones including the Nokia N73, Nokia N77 & the Nokia N95. The N81 & N81 8GB are identical in design & features but come with differing memory options & the phones have different colour options on their casing. The Nokia N81 & Nokia N81 8GB come with a Nokia headset with remote control, connectivity cable, compact travel charger & battery but the Nokia N81 comes with a 2 Gbyte MicroSD™ memory card. The N81 comes with an expandable memory options which allows the user to add memory card to suit their storage needs & the start up kit includes a 2 Gbyte MicroSD™ memory card. The N81 is mainly black in colour with highlights of coloured edging around the casing & the navigation wheel. The N81 comes in a choice of two colours which are graphite grey & cobalt blue. The Nokia N81 8GB comes with 8 Gbytes of internal flash memory which allows the user to store much data on their new handset. The N81 8GB also comes with coloured edging around the casing & navigation wheel which are subtly coloured cocoa brown. The handset is solid & robust in design which weighs 140 grams & the overall measurements are 17.9mm deep by 50mm wide by 102mm high. The Nokia N81 & N81 8GB are beautiful in design & in capabilities. The phones are 3G capable handsets complete with WLAN technology. The phones are media, music & internet focused handsets which come with a simple slide opening casing complete with easy access music, video & function keys. The user can enjoy viewing the large screen when the handsets are open or closed. The screen is large measuring 2.4 inches with a high screen resolution & displays up to sixteen million colours for a quality viewing experience.
Nokia N80 has one of the best LCD displays, with a resolution of 352 x 416 pixels and boasting 262,144 colours. The 3 mega-pixel camera in the phone takes good pictures and has a 20x digital zoom and flash. However, the quality of photographs is no where near to the ones taken by Nokia N90. The phone has an advanced music player, which allows you to pick your favourite music track from a displayed play list. The audio quality of Nokia n80 is considered to be very good and the package includes a stereo headset. The phone comes with a 128 MB memory card, which is enough a storage space for your music files. It plays, MP3, AAC, m4a, eAAC+ and WMA format music tracks.

When the N81 8GB is closed while hiding the numeric keypad, I counted 18 buttons just on the front part of the phone! If two of those buttons are the dedicated gaming keys, that means the other 16 buttons are packed together with the Naviwheel. Let’s see the keys in that area: green call, red end-call, left soft-key, right soft-key, main menu, multimedia menu, clear, play/pause, stop, forward, back, left, right, up, down, and center.

Even though there’s a lot of buttons in that part of the phone, Nokia does a great job illuminating only the necessary buttons depending on what you are using. For example, the music keys are dimmed and the gaming keys are off when using the phone in general. When the music player is on, the music keys light up.

The Nokia N81 8GB came with earphones that go around the back of your neck. It connects to a middle piece where you can control music or pick up phone calls. I prefer regular earphones that go down my neck, but joggers like the ones that go around the neck because it doesn’t fall out easily. You can also use your own earphones if you like, but, people are starting to use bluetooth headphones to listen to music on their phones. You can find out more about Nokia’s new bluetooth headsets at Non Stop Living.

The Nokia N80 is a little cell phone, short and stout. In its closed state, the slider phone measures 3.7 by 1.9 by 1.0 inches and weighs 4.7 ounces. Though the form factor is compact, it’s on the thicker side, so it’ll make for a tight fit in a pants pocket. Despite the bulk, it’s comfortable–though a little slippery–to hold in the hand, and its all-black case is attractive; the phone is available in stainless steel as well.
The Nokia N80 has a beautiful 2.2-inch screen that boasts 262,144 hues at 325×416-pixel resolution. Colors pop, and text and images are extrasharp; it’s certainly one of the best cell phone displays we’ve seen to date. Below it you’ll find two soft keys, the Talk and End buttons, a four-way navigation toggle with a center select function, an edit key, a menu shortcut, a multimedia key, and a Clear button. For the most part, the controls are easy to use, but the toggle and the select button are a bit small, so you have to press them carefully.

The N80 is a 3G smartphone, so it benefits from a wide range of advanced software, plus excellent functionality and connectivity. However, it’s one of the most buggy and unstable phones around. Perhaps future firmware upgrades will fix these problems, but for now its an unreliable phone. Its also very slow, both to boot up and in operation.
The N80 has an advanced music player with support for playlists and easy access to your favourite music tracks. Audio quality is excellent and a stereo headset is included in the sales package. There’s plenty of space for storing music too - a 128 Mbyte memory card is included as standard, in addition to the 40 Mbytes of internal memory.

Nokia N80 has one of the best LCD displays, with a resolution of 352 x 416 pixels and boasting 262,144 colours. The 3 mega-pixel camera in the phone takes good pictures and has a 20x digital zoom and flash. However, the quality of photographs is no where near to the ones taken by Nokia N90. The phone has an advanced music player, which allows you to pick your favourite music track from a displayed play list. The audio quality of Nokia n80 is considered to be very good and the package includes a stereo headset. The phone comes with a 128 MB memory card, which is enough a storage space for your music files. It plays, MP3, AAC, m4a, eAAC+ and WMA format music tracks.

The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet underwent a nice little makeover, lightening up its once all-black casing with a sleek silver face and shaving off a bit of thickness and weight (2.9×5.7×0.5 inches; 7.2 ounces). The device is slim enough to easily slip into your bag, but it’s probably too big to comfortably fit it into a pants pocket. Holding it in your hand, you might notice it’s a little top heavy for reasons we’ll explain a bit later, but it has a solid construction. Also, if you get tired of holding it, Nokia has built in a convenient kickstand so you can prop it up on your desk. It’s located on the bottom of the device, and all you have to do is pull it out toward the back.

The browser is a full featured browser. Not a mobile browser that formats stuff for a small screen. This means that in its default state, some of the text you read is a bit small. However you can zoom in easily with buttons right on the top of the device. This tends to give you horizontal scroll bars though. To handle this you can choose “Fit width to view”. This helps, but sometimes mangles the layout of pages. I don’t mean to make a big deal about this though. For most actual use, most pages are fine, and a quick zoom in is adequate to be able to read small type. Pages render surprisingly quick, and Flash seems to work pretty well. Of course, you gotta realize its limits. I wouldn’t try to run a really cpu intensive Flash app on this thing, and I ran into a couple of pages that had a lot of Flash on them, which really slowed things down. But it plays most Youtube videos just fine, for instance.

The battery life is pretty good too: it reportedly manages 10 days in always-ON standby (the device is actually ON, and with only a few hardware elements OFF), and it managed here about 5 hours of WiFi usage (screen in low backlight mode). It is my estimation (I only had the device for just a day and a half so far) that having the Gizmo or GTalk clients ON and leaving WiFi ON while in standby mode, you should get about 4-5 days of battery life which is better than the second best such device, the Nokia E61.
