The phone comes equipped with everything the N95 had. The ARM 11 332 MHz processor remains unchanged, which is a pity – considering all the value additions this should have been spruced up as well. The result is that the phone is a bit sluggish. In any case, Nokia has compensated by powering the 8GB with a 128 MB SDRAM memory, as against 64 MB in the older version.
I don't need to mention that the onboard storage capacity has been increased to 8GB – this extra space is the whole reason for the new model's existence! This is the single coolest factor of the phone, but an expandable memory slot would have been even more brilliant.
The 8GB offers the same functionalities as the N95, and then some. While the old phone was equipped with Wi-Fi, GPRS and EDGE too, the 8GB's GPRS transfer rates are a bit faster. It makes use of Class 32, 107 / 64.2 Kbps. It's equipped with Bluetooth and Infrared.
The phone makes use of the Symbian Series 60 9.2 with feature pack 3.1, and although the UI is one of the best in the market, it takes a beating due to the sluggish processor. True, the phone only takes under a second to respond, but the third-party applications take a helluva time to open.
The N95 8GB has all the traits to make it a smartphone. The regular features are intact, including Office applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. You can also view PDF files. Newer apps like the search-based T9 Nav can be easily installed. It's quite useful to drag information out, just like Avafind on the desktop. Only, it's paid!
