Nokia N95 8GB Cellular Phone

I bought one of these phones two years ago when they first came out and I paid around $800.00 for it and after owning it for awhile I found that it was worth every penny I paid for it. My wife wanted a new cell phone recently and I found the price had come down on the N95 to only $350.00 or so new and I was able to purchase a fairly nice used one for her for only $150.00 on ebay. I will tell you that I don't even know how to use all of the features on this phone yet after two years of owning it but it is the best phone I have ever had. I bought it mainly for the camera. It has a 5 megapixel camera with a zoom function and a Carl Ziess Lens. It takes wonderful pictures and it is always there when I come across that Kodak moment. In comparison to the lousy pictures my previous camera phones would take the N95 is off the charts. Next to the camera I like the audio quality the best. The audio is super clear and is also one of my favorite features of the N95. I have had cell phones since 1993 when the first Motorola flip phone hit the street. Most of the audio on my previous phones had something to be desired as in "I can hardly you." The reception of signal on the N95 is also off the charts. It has reception when all other cell phones fail. No walking around going "can you hear me now?" with this cell phone. I have my N95 connected to the AT&T network (more bars in more places) and I have fun watching my friends trying to make phone calls on their cell phones and when they can't get a signal then I hand then mine and they can't believe the reception and clarity on the N95. The phone has a lot of functions that I never use like the GPS and also the music capability it has. It boasts 8GB of memory so you can keep a lot of tunes in it. I understand it has an FM transmitter so you can go to your friends house and play your tunes through their stereo or you can play them through your car radio. I wouldn't know because I never tried it. It also has an FM radio which I have tried but I don't really use that feature much either. The screen is very large and clear and easy to read. I just love how easy this phone is to use. The only problem I have ever had with my N95 is that because it is a computer it can lock up on you. I have had this happen maybe three or four times in two years so this is not an issue that bothers me a whole lot. I kind of freaked out the first time it happened (I thought the phone was broken) but I opened the battery compartment and removed and reinstalled the battery and then it was business as usual. Again my first one of these phones cost me around $800.00 and now that they have come down in price they are really a bargain. You will not be disappointed. The only other thing I might add is that when you are shopping for one of these you will come across the ones that are made in China and I will tell you that these have no internet and no GPS. I don't know anything about the quality of them compared to the ones made in Finland etc. Obviously if you don't need the internet and GPS function you can save yourself some money. The battery life is also fantastic on this phone as in 9 days without charging on standby. I love it on a trip because I just let it run night and day and I don't have to charge it in the motel at night. I have kept my N95 mint in a leather case since day one. I have seen some of the used ones for sale with scratches on the screen and even the lettering worn off the battery cover.

Amazing phone

like how it has many functions and the 5 MP camera, also capable of video call depending on where you are and what service provider you have. Sorta on the bulky side but not to big.

N95 clones....Beware

There are plenty of people getting ripped off.....like I did by sellers selling cloned models of this phone. I am a tech person so I'm usually
aware of frauds, but had no idea this phone was being cloned...in this manner.
The clone looks EXACTLY like the real thing. But there is no Wifi (even though on the screen it says, wifi off) and you can't sync with pc/mac because it is not running symbian os. It looks just like symbian, but it is not. THey have even gone as far as to make the clone respond to the reset codes built into the original nokia 95. *# etc.....
