Gadget Review: Nokia N95

Yup, it's that Carl Zeiss guy again, and this time with a 5 megapixel camera lens.

The N95 is a big boy. He's a media player, a five MP camera and an excellent browser.

But the special feature in this phone is GPS( Global Positioning System).
Should you lose your way, you can use the GPS on your N95! You can find the nearest shopping mall, park, etc. in Google Earth style if you have an active internet connection.

The phone is a two way slider, move the slider up and there is an beautiful keypad.
Move the slider down, and there are dedicated music controls. Quite innovative, indeed.

There are camera buttons, a memory card slot, a 3.5mm earphone jack and a couple of speakers on the sides.

It runs on Symbian 60 series software, and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and the features of any current N series phone.
The only feature I would have liked to see was a touch screen.

On the other side, the music controls are quite hard to push. The performance is sluggish sometimes especially when switching between apps.

Pros --> GPS, Music Player, 5 MP Camera, Two way slider, Wi-Fi

Cons --> A bit to much on the pricey side, sometimes sluggish performance.

A brilliant addition to the N series.

Could burn a hole in your wallet!

Gadget Review: Nokia N73

Beautiful, sleek and featureful at the same time!


The quality of camera phones has hit a new high, with the N73. I know there is a 5 megapixel phone in the form of the N95, and I know that the N73 is old. Anyways, it's still a fine addition to the Nokia N series.

It is available in normal and music editions, which are silver and black respectively.
I will be reviewing the Music edition of N73.
First off, the exterior.

It's a nice smartphone design, hefty but comfortable to hold.
It's got a Carl Zeiss camera lens, a beautiful,clear and vibrant screen and camera controls on the side.
The bad thing I noticed in the exterior was the cramped keypad.
Some people have big fingers, so it will be hard for them to dial numbers or text messages. There is a micro SD at the bottom of the phone, and you will need some big nails to open that!

Next is it's features.

It's not a featureless phone. It runs on Symbian 60 series software, has an amazing Music player and a camera which takes high quality pictures. It's 3G and has all the usual features an N series phone would have. It also has excellent voice recognition.
Now, the thing missing in this phone is Wi-Fi. It's disappointing the N73 doesn't have Wi-Fi, as all new smartphones have it.

It is a very sluggish performer when it comes to switching between apps or performing multimedia functions. The N73 has a good battery life and a decent call quality.

Pros --> 3.2 megapixel camera, music player, vibrant screen, amazing battery life, decent call quality.

Cons --> Cramped Keyboard, no Wi-Fi, sluggish performance when switching between apps or performing multimedia functions, inconvenient spot for Micro SD Card.

All in All, a very good phone with an excellent set of features.

TOTALLY recommended by me.
