Advantages: Good features

Disadvantages: Battery life

I got this for a upgrade. When I was working as a sales consultant for a phone company the most popular phone was the N95. The phone has so many features packed inside of it, I dont think people realise how useful phone is. The phone is a little on the large side but is isnt too thick neither. This multimedia player has a 5 megapixel camera which does the job, although as time passes you can notice the camera quality does get worse but not considerablely I also took my profile picture with the n95. The thing that I was amazed with is the videos you can take with it, it comes out just like a stand alone camcorder, I cant tell the amount of times where I have used this, from filming the family on holiday in Egypt, On top of the empire state building in New York, my friends when they have had one drink too many and five a side matches down the park. All of these will take up memory and if you take as much pictures as me then you may need a bigger memory, the 1gb is alright at first. I manged to get a 2gb for it for under £10. Many articles say the N95 can take upto 8gb, but I havent attempted to put a 8gb in it yet. A feature which is also useful as well is A-GPS. This GPS can be used on foot or in cars, countless times this phone stopped me from getting lost, or if i wanted to know where the nearest cashpoint was then it would direct me to it. The internet on it is superfast as well, it shows webpages in full colour. There are add-on that goes onto the phones such as oxford dictionary and yellow pages.
There is something that you can do with N95 and that is you can use it with a laptop and use it for the internet. But be warned only use this for emergency use only and do not use this as normal connection, as you will get a large and eye watering bill. Also if you are going to be using the internet or GPS then it is worth getting a web bundle from your service provider so you can avoid the large bills.
It is worth noting that all these things are handy to have on your phone this will drain your battery life. Buying an extra battery is adviseable but you do not want to do so then there are a few tricks you can learn such as turning off the 3G signal and sticking to GSM mode, this will keep your battery running for longer.
The phone if a lot of things are on it such as application then it will be running a little slower.
If you are lucky to get hold of one of these then you will wonder why you didnt get yourself on these a long time ago.
