Is the Nokia N95-8gb King of the Mobile Phones?

These days technology is everywhere, with many of us carting multiple gadgets around with us from mobile phones to digital cameras, MP3 players to GPS devices in our cars. For a while now our pockets have been overflowing with all this portable tech, that is up until now the Nokia N95 has surfaced.

The Nokia N95 is less a mobile phone and more of a portable office in the palm of your hand. The N95 could quite capably replace all the devices mentioned above, with it’s inclusion of it’s own GPS and ability to install other software on it this mobile phone has finally become the “all-in-one†device we’ve been waiting for.

The problem with some devices similar to this is that it becomes a jack of all trades and master of none, this could have been said about the initial release of the N95, with a silver colour-way and the need of external memory cards it was impressive, there were teething problems though, the battery life for this device was shockingly poor especially if you planned on making good use of all the features like video playback, camera and GPS.

The ability to run applications was stunted too; with not enough memory dedicated to 3rd party applications the phone was prone to crashing or freezing. Nokia looked like it had bitten off more than it could chew with the N95 and the Mobile Phones market moved on. A few months later in late 2007 Nokia decided to give the N95 the remix treatment; a new colour, bigger screen, more memory, internal hard drive and best of all: increased battery life.

The Nokia N95-8GB instantly became the most wanted toy in technology, released at the same time as Apple’s iPhone and similarly spec’ed SonyEricsson K850 it was up against stiff competition, but with it being offered for free with some cheap Mobile Phones contracts it fast became a bestseller and the flagship of Nokia’s new multimedia devices.

At the moment the new black N95 sits at the top of the Mobile Phones mountain, now that Nokia have recognised the problems with its initial release the N95 has now ironed out all the creases and will take some beating to steal its crown.
