Tech / Memory
The CPU has actually been upgraded from 220 mhz to 330 mhz. The N95 runs on Symbian OS 9.2 so that makes it a S60 3rd Edition with Feature Pack 1. And this baby is really wired for all kinds of connectivity.
This is the first of Nokia’s smartphones that has HSDPA (3.5G) for quicker-than-normal downloads. Not that it (or even 3G) matters here, but it's provided anyways. For the less privileged, the N95 does have EDGE, so no worries there. Connectivity is quick and smooth with not many hang-ups. The N95 also has an RSS reader to keep you updated on the latest of news and things and the phone also supports push email.
With regards to the internet you have your choice of either using EDGE or Wi-Fi. And of course you have a set up wizard to help you out with the connections. But I did have a few problems setting up the connections in certain places. It refused to connect and kept giving me errors like 'Invalid access point' or 'No connection available' even though it showed me that it had a found a point. Now this could be just a problem with my service provider but it could frustrate someone who really needs it and is unable to use it. SO if you know what you're doing when it comes to settings and connectivity, good! If not, this may not necessarily be the phone for you. But then again, the phone isn’t only about internet connectivity is it?
And just to make things really interesting for users, this technological marvel also has a built-in VOIP client (a service that allows you to make calls over the internet) and it has a dedicated function for the same. Again its not rocket science to get that hooked up as well. All you need do is select a provider. The phone can be switched onto dual mode and it can auto select the service if available. So like I said it does it everything. Super!
The N95 has Bluetooth but with A2DP compatibility. Now not only can you connect a Bluetooth headset but it also has a separate function for connecting a wireless keyboard. Nice! The phone is also equipped with infrared, not that too many people have a use for it but it’s there again i guess for posterity. So as you can see nothing has been left to chance.
The N95 is equipped with a GPS receiver as well so you can find your way around. All you need to do again is simply open the software and there you go. You have the option of simply entering an address and getting the directions to that location. But you will have to download the maps though. Tried and tested with no problems and connectivity to the satellites is a cinch.
The phone has a whooping 120MB of internal memory and comes with a 1GB card as well so there’s plenty of space for your music, videos, and maps. Fully Loaded!
