Nokia N95, featuring an innovative double slide
design with multimedia controls and a keypad on opposite end of the phones. The N95 is Nokia's first HSDPA (3.5G) device, but also boasts Wi-Fi, WCDMA, quad-band GSM, Bluetooth (including A2DP), IrDA and USB 2.0 connectivity (via mini USB connector). Other hardware features include a 5 megapixel camera, a built in GPS, TV-Out, 3.5mm audio jack, FM Radio, a MicroSD memory card slot and 150MB of internal memory. Read on for full details, pictures and the full press release.

In the hand the most impressive aspect of the device, given its feature set, is its size.
At 99mm x 20mm x 53mm (90cc), the N93 packs an impressively amount into a small space. Nokia have managed to add two major technologies to the Nseries line (GPS and HSDPA) while significantly reducing the volume of the device. In length and width dimensions it is larger that the other Nseries slider - the N80, but it is considerably thinner.




HSPDA is the next generationin cellular connectivity. The N95 is a category 6 HSPDA device which means it is up to 10 times faster that WCDMA (3G). Clearly HSDPA support is required at a network level, but many networks have already begun their testing or roll out periods. The faster connection speeds make downloading media (such as podcasts via the in built Podcast application) more palatable and should also improve latency/round trip times. Wi-Fi, WCDMA (3G) connectivity, together with quad band GSM and EDGE are also supported. Bluetooth 2.0, IrDA and USB make up the local connectivity options.

The 5.0 megapixel camera uses Carl Zeiss Optics with autofocus and digital zoom with a dedicated 2 stage capture button on the side of the phone. Video capture at near DVD quality is also supported. On the side of the device there are several buttons dedicated to camera usage. This allows the device to be held in a similar way to a traditional camera with the screen, in landscape mode, used as the view finder and the shutter button on bottom right hand side of the device (top right when phone is held horizontally). On the rear of the device, next to the camera is the slide switch, which is used to open the lens aperture and activate camera mode. Although it is difficult to judge the image quality at this stage the evidence we saw suggest that the N95 will be on of the most capable camera phones available.

A GPS is integrated into the device with anticipated accuracy of around 10m (satellite signal permitting). The devices will ship with an application called Maps which has global overview maps built in. More detailed maps (with coverage over more than 100 different countries available) can be downloaded for free from an online server. The detail available varies from country to country, but in many cases it is available down to street level. A point of interest (POI) database is also included. All the maps are available for free, as is basic route planning, but navigation functionality (with voice and on screen prompts) will be available as a pay-for add on. City Guides will also be available for purchase and other services are likely to be made available in the future. The mapping software and services is likely to based on technology from gate5, a company which Nokia recently announced it was acquiring.

Music playback is also a major focus of the device. The dedicated multimedia keys on the top flip of the device are primarily designed for music playback (although can also be used in other multimedia contexts). Wireless stereo sound output (via the A2DP Bluetooth profile) is also supported, and stereo audio output is also supported by the TV output feature and the on board stereo speakers. The music formats supported include MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA. Video playback on the QVGA screen is excellent and supported video formats include 3GP, Real Video and MP4 with support for the latest AVC codec.

The multimedia key now leads to a revamped application and multimedia shorcut view which now supports both a greater number of shortcuts (applications, multimedia files and bookmarks) and more flexible personalisation. As a result it is now a more generic shortcut key mechansim and offers an alternative to the standard application launcher.

The N95 uses S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (Symbian 9.3) and as such includes version 2.0 of the open source Nokia web browser (supporting WML, XHTML and HTML in one browser), Flash Lite 2.0, FOTA (firmware over the air updates) and more.

The N95 uses the same small power port as other S60 3rd Edition devices, but the in-box charger is considerably smaller than the existing models (up to 60% smaller). The N95 has a 950 mAh battery, it is likely that the N95 will require a daily charge with moderate to heavy use, although 3-6 days may be possible with lighter use (dependent on network strength, type and other factors).

Widgets For Your Nokia N95 (by Nokia)
======Shout Out to smashpOp!====
How often do you wish you had access to your favorite web communities straight from your cell phone?
Wouldn't you like to stay on top of things all the time and know what your friends are up to?
Wouldn't it be great to communicate with them and stay in touch just as if they were right next to you?

Well, now it's possible

With WidSets you can do all that - and more.

You can get traffic alerts, news, blogs, gossip, restaurant reviews, weather reports and loads of other stuff that you would normally get through a web service, without having to wade through hundreds of websites.

In fact, WidSets is so hassle free that there is no need for you to click from site to site, refresh, or browse for what you want - the information is updated to your cell phone automatically. Our goal is to make this service available to everyone, and make it as simple and as effortless as possible.

The service is very affordable, considering it's totally FREE. You can use it as much as you want, create as much as you want, and share with others to the point that you can't share anymore.

Nokia Video Manager
========Contributed by smashpOp========
Get the Nokia Video Manager here!

Nokia Video Manager scans and converts any selected video file on your computer to mp4 format. Conversion types include avi, mpeg, wmv and mov (DivX, XVid, MPEG-2 and Quicktime codecs).

According to AllAboutSymbian, the current S60 devices that are capable of playing mp4 (H.264) are the N71, N73, N75, N76, N80, N91, N92, N93 and all S60 3rd Edition FP1 devices including the N95, 6290, 6110 and 5700.

As I'm writing this I'm also scanning my laptop for files to convert to the N95. One thing I can tell you is that it does take a long long time and makes other running application perform very slow. But then again I guess this depends on how much you have stored.

How to use the GPS?
========Thx to Fair-pley==========
a. Run the Map application
b. After that click option, click view, choose Satellite info
c. Wait until u see some coordinate (numbers) in 4 line
d. click back
e. It will zoom to ur location.
** U will see ur location in the map and it will move following ur current location.
** Its wise for u to download the map first (front page of this thread) and disable the connection to avaoid 3g usage.
*** To use Asiamaps, please do the above first and then running Asiamaps.

Added on August 15, 2007, 11:24 amProblem solved.. haha.. It is original...

This post has been edited by yeese: Aug 15 2007, 11:24 AM

does anyone here experiencing this:

my phone restart when i was listening to MP3... dont know how, it restarted suddenly...

no other apps running at the background...

hey ppl...do u know wat keys to press to check the IMEI ?

Press *#0#

should *#06# isn't it??

Never experienced that before... though I know of some people who faced a problem of the Music Player suddenly exiting while we're doing multitasking such as viewing a web page, etc. Memory problem i guess
*#06#

memory problem.... hmmm... but i didnt do multi-tasking though... darn... think need to recheck with nokia i guess...

btw, what will happen if we use third party software to change the code so that we can install the new firmware?? does the warranty void??

Ahh.. yes yes.. it is..

Thousand apologies

Wow.. We Have Reached V3 Already..
The Other Day I Went To Nokia Care Center At Sunway Pyramid And Asked Regarding The Slider Issues... I Was Just Trying My Luck If I Can Get The New Slider Replacement For Free.. Suprisingly, The Technician Guy Who Inspected My Phone Said That My N95 Is Qualified For A New Slider FOC.. (The Slider Is Not Very Loose, But There Is A Gap When The Phone Is Slided Up And The "C" Key Is Pressed...).. Unfortunately, The Nokia Care Center At Sunway Pyramid Has Run Out Of Stock Of The Sliders.. He Asked Me To Go To Their HQ At Berjaya Times Square For Replacement.. BTW, My N95 Is Ori Zitron Set... So Should I Change The Slider? Anyone Has Changed Their Sliders?

I done it myself.. 10minutes job..

Not really... if u wanna send it back to Nokia for warranty claims, service support, etc just change it back to the original product code, simple as that

This post has been edited by liquid_ooze: Aug 15 2007, 06:15 PM

I am experienced this case when Im using old firmware v11 ++, but now Im using v12++.So no more restart.

i m a poor chap here wish to own a N95

does the AP set work on GPS? or new AGPS?

wat to watch out?

current thinking to sell off my dopod838pro to cash sum fund to N95..

TQ TQ

I currently using Ap set of Nokia N95, All function work but I didn't try AGPS yet.

so mean AP set also can work with GPS?


can upgrade to new firmware?? chinese support?

wat should i check during purchasing??


sorry to ask tis lame question

just got my N95 a few days ago, upgraded from a N93

but i'm in australia though signed up a plan and got it for *somewhat* free

am loving the phone ! and still learning how to use it especially the GPS

This post has been edited by -ArChAng3L-: Aug 16 2007, 08:15 AM

Yes, AP sets can work with GPS, no problem at all

Can also upgrade to newer Firmwares.

Yeah. I was told that they will change my whole top panel for free. I was suprised and happy at the same time.

However, they said that it is wise you change it when your warranty is going to end, say 2~3 months before it expires, which I think it is good idea too.

Thanks BRO !

me using new firmware, always restart... is it because i wrongly install the firmware??

If you 'wrongly' installed the firmware, your N95 would be a nice looking brick already

Maybe you've installed a 3rd party software that's not compatible with the N95 perhaps?

i think is ur 3rd party software make u always restart ur phone..
i have already upgraded to v12 1month ago..
nvface any problem

some kamasutra third party software make the phone hang??

or physically use the phone wrongly??

Yeah V3 reporting in.

Any more news regarding the new N95?

Physically used the phone wrongly in Kamasutra position

If only there are any third parties who sell the N95 housing made from aluminum or stainless steel....current N95 housing is too plastic like...

y i cant install the map into my hp?

Guys this time i was facing a big problem.Today i put my phone in the toilet and i didnt notice that there is some water at there,and the water already go inside my screen.My phone still work just the screen inside got water and blinking sometime.Guys can anyone teach me how ,i am going to be crazy.Should i put it under the sun ?Or should i send it to factory?.Can it be warranty?.If need repair need how much to fix it?

Yes it can....

mine is a T-Mobile set and unlocked. Using my Maxis no. with no problem. (But of course, it was already unlocked when I purchased it)

ic... coz i've installed media safe in my N95 to protect my "precious video" () from parents and lil bro... hahaha... maybe thats why it restarts... (got dirty content... )

wow! share share le bradder!

free hehe.,

I need some experts and taiko taiko advice of buying my new baby since i lost my N91 in monorail.

I want to buy N95 but should i get AP or Avaxx/Zitron? What do you think? AP RM2100 / original RM2399(from maxis)?


1) The seller told me the difference battery is better and warranty can claim international? Is that true or any difference?

2) If i go to the Maxis center and get the phone from them (myMaxis phone?), i assume they are selling Avaxx/Zitron right?


thanks a lot! please guide me

Sure get ori set but ap n zitron also same warranty if i hv not mistaken.cos zitron warranty battery n changer 3month, phone n lcd is 1year correct me o not?our phone hv not internation at all.if got international warranty v all better take from singapore o other country.

thanks for your explanation, do you mean that if i take zitron/avaxx set would be better than AP? mind to tell me what is the advantages of it since it cost extra RM458+.

zitron warranty battery n changer 3month, phone n lcd is 1year correct me o not? <- yes that is true from what i heard, but does AP cover everything for 1 year?

thanks again!

AP don't cover some parts at all. E.G the on/off button & etc.
Some AP don't even cover LCD, accesories etc

It depends on what AP company

thanks for the help, going to consider zitron set.

who-hoo! The agps is SWEET! My my, this is gd! Lests c, the galleries after shooting pic's load time is faster, And this time, you can zoom 100% compared to the usual 50% on the v11 software( maybe this was just my settings, but i was unable to zoom any further than 50% when viewing pics). I'll play around with it more and c is there any diff. I'll notify you guys if there is any difference.

Just check with nokia europe using the product code.

Nokia Product Code

To find the latest available software updates, you need to enter your phone's product code into the field below. Your product code is found inside your phone, on the white label beneath the battery. The product code will look similar to this:

If you N95 is 0534841 ver 12.0.013 is available and if your N95 is 0536085 12.0.014 avaiable

This post has been edited by MX510: Aug 18 2007, 03:34 PM

can zoom in 800% ..... not 100% only...

sorry but how you guys change the nokia product code? thanks.

just seach it...no product code for my phone.
im zitron set le..dunno wat happen

if looking for a good warranty "AP" set.. go for CSL.. .. 15 months warranty...

yups...

really?then next time i rather get ap CSL more than zintron

Can AP set use Asia map now? Coz last time heard it don't have the map. thx

u can always get the maps via maploader

CSL set.... GPS work like charm.. Navphone with voice assistant...

anywhere i can get NAVphone software??

NAVphone come together with Ori/CSL N95.. which is the Asia Maps...

So it mean can use asia map in AP phone.. thx for ur info

May i ask which part of CSL that didn't cover? like switch off button or LCD ? 15 months of warranty is very tempting

Thanks for the help.
