Nokia N95: El Presidente December 4, 2006
Posted by Mads Foli Bjerre in : Mobile, Gadgets , trackbackOr: This Time I Really Think They Got It Right
I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am by Nokias newest phone — or, as Nokia would like to call it, multimedia mobile: the N95. The reason for my excitement is this:
Everytime Nokia or any other phone manufacturer comes out with a new product, something is always missing. Take the Nokia N73 for example. This is the phone I’m using at the moment. Fantastic device. Does almost everything I want it to do. Almost. I’d like WiFi, GPS and an even better camera. There is always something missing, right? Well… not anymore.
Somehow Nokia has managed to squeeze multiple mucho-desirable features into a device that’s actually smaller than my N73 (how do they do it?):
- They’ve upgraded the camera to 5 Megapixels.
- There’s built-in GPS. Bye-bye old trusty TomTom Go.
- WiFi. Finally I can upload hi-res pictures and video to my moblog at Albino Gorilla without having to pay obscenely expensive data traffic charges.
- There’s 150 Mb of internal memory.
- There’s a gorgeous 2.6 inch QVGA LCD supporting 16 million colors.
- There are dedicated music keys in an ingenious cover sliding design.
- There’s even an ATI gaming chip for smooth 3D gaming graphics
Priced at €550 the N95 will be available in January 2007 in two colors, plum and sand. It isn’t cheap, but rest assured I will get my hands on the N95 when it hits the shelves. And I promise I’ll post my thoughts when I have had some time to play with… err, I mean, use it.
In the meantime, do as I did: Check out some N95 videos on YouTube.
Here’s one more clip with a dude demonstrating the phone (in French, but you get the drift):
