Detailed review
Though it's feature set is relatively common place now, there was nothing like the N95 when it came out, and despite being two years old, is still a rock solid smartphone that can be used daily.
I owned the N95 for two years before "upgrading" to the N95-4 (8GB US Version) in March of 2009. I got sold it recently for a Nokia E75 and still regret it - it would have been a great "backup" phone for my N97
While it's a non-qwerty/non-touchscreen phone, the N95 does a lot of things well (though not great), but that's kind of the point of the phone. It's been called a "swiss army knife" for it's ability to act well as a phone, a still/video camera, messaging device, web browser. It's also reliable and proven (two years worth of firmware improvements have ensured this, though US/NAM versions are still behind), though it's size has only grown more "chunky" with smartphones getting smaller and smaller.
Anyone who's owned an N95 will likely report a thumbs-up experience. If you're looking for a similar device in 2009, check out the N86 8MP, the true successor to the N95 (skip the N85 - the hardware is lacking).
