Nokia N95

I am now certain that I have understood what Nokia are striving to achieve but it won't be easy. Nokia want to build a device that functions chiefly and excellently as a phone and secondarily as a multimedla device to a REASONABLE standard. One should not expect too much from the N95. It will never be as good as the specialized devices. Take the camera section. Yes 5MP is an improvement (over the N93; a great phone) but image quality will not compare to digital compact cameras such as Nikon Coolpix P1; Sony T30; Casio Exilim Z1000. All of which are 7MP or higher. Look, the N95 doesn't even have a xenon flash (its flash is the LED type and is not as good) which tells you that Nokia have to make compromises to keep the cost and size of the device down. I'll bet that if money was no object Nokia would build a far better device. Look at the camcording: 640*480(VGA) pixels at 30fps is a fine effort but it does not compare with Canon's HV10 very portable camcorder(1920*1080 pixels resolution). In conclusion I must state that multimedia mobile phones will never replace the specialized products, so nobody should delude themselves. What Nokia has achieved is a raising of standards and that is laudable. I will buy the N95 but I will use it as an adjunct (helper) to the specialized devices.

I have a Nokia N95..it is the best for me...
