Nokia unveiled the successor to the N95, and that is the new 16Gb N96 phone. Yes, you read it right! 16Gb on board memory. The Nokia N96 is the latest in Nokia’s Nseries line up and although the N95 is it predecessor, it is not a replacement for the N95.
The N95 and N96 does share many of their attributes and features, but the N96 has a better processor, and maybe a bit more RAM, but the changes on the N96 goes a lot deeper than that.
The N96 also has followed on in the design from the N81. With the dark gloss front face and aluminum side panels, it does indeed look rather nice. It has the two-way slide just like the N95, the multimedia controls easy to use via the downwards slide, and the expected T9 style keypad from the upwards slide.
I must say, I’m not overly keen on the amount of buttons placed around the dial pad, because this usually means lots of erroneous key presses like on the N81. However because the N96 is a physically bigger device, the keypad has enough space, making no room for error. Notice the 16Gb on board memory of the N96, that memory is enough to store 40 hours of video. WOW! That’s long! Beside that is the option of adding 8Gb memory cards or higher as well. Another lead feature for the N96 is the inclusion of DVB-H for receiving mobile TV. DVB-H is the specification for bringing broadcast services to battery-powered handheld receivers, was formally adopted as an ETSI standard in November 2004. A mobile TV on the N96 is an advantage designed for those people on the go, while sitting on the train, waiting for a colleague, at a bus stop or in a traffic jam, and the list is endless.
Now let us take a quick browse through the specifications list:

* 3G, HSDPA
* Symbian OS 9.3 S60 v3 Feature Pack 2
* 103mm x 55mm x 18mm
* 125g in weight
* 2.8 inch QVGA screen (240 x 320 resolution)
* BL-5F (950mAh) battery
* 16Gb on board memory, plus microSD memory card slot for expandability and flexibility
* 5MP Carl Zeiss Optics Camera with Dual LED Flash and with secondary VGA videocall camera
* VGA Video recording at 30FPS
* WiFi
* USB 2.0
* DVB-H (Mobile TV)
* 3.5mm headphone jack/TV out
* Bluetooth
* GPS

I tell you, this Nokia N96 16Gb really rock!

With the released of the new Nokia N95 8GB, one question come to everybodies mind. What’s the changes Nokia made between the two N95 beside the 8GB memory?

We will be discussing those changes one by one so I won’t be quick, so please bear with me on this one.

The first issues I would like to discuss is the MicroSD Slot. The Nokia N95 8Gb has no microSD slot, but rather, has been replaced by a fixed 8GB internal flash drive. Just imagine how many games, musics, mp3 ringtones and wallpapers you can download on this phone. The original has microSD slots for expandable memory.

One of the most obvious change is the matt black color of the phone, for now, this is the only color it is available with.

The N95 8Gb now has larger 128mb RAM – double the original which is 64mb RAM. It also uses ‘demand paging’ using the hard drive as extra memory so you will never run out of RAM no matter how many programs you run.

The N95 8GB uses an improved Nokia’s Assisted GPS technology, which sends the handset location hints over the network to compensate for weak satellite signals resulting to faster GPS positioning. So if your that person who is always on the road, this is a lot of help for you guys.

Longer battery life, thanks to the new BL-6F battery. The battery life of the phone is increased by 25-50%. Which is one of the main weaknesses of the original N95.

You will also notice that the N95 8Gb is slightly thicker than the original. This is to accommodate the new larger BL-6F battery the phone is now an extra millimetre thicker than the original N95, thus, making it also heavier by 8 grams compare to the 120 grams of the original.

The shutter also has been replaced with a simple recessed lens to accommodate the new larger BL-6F battery. See the difference in the picture below. To activate the camera, you now have to hold the shoot button.

The screen has better protection with a hard top layer that’s flush with the front of the phone. The original N95 had a soft touch screen which had a slight recess allowing dust and dirt to gather easily.

You can also notice that the N95 8GB also has a larger 2.8” screen compared to the original 2.6” with a clearer and brighter display. The larger screen has meant that the dial pad and main buttons have been moved down and made smaller.

The Multimedia controls are also raised and dimpled making them easier to find by touch alone.

Their are also some interface and software changes made on the new N95 8GB. The standby screen shows 7 quick launch icons as oppose to 6 on the original N95. The N95 8GB also has a new icon for Nokia’s upcoming N-Gage gaming platform and comes with 2 demo games - FIFA 07 and Asphalt 3.

The N95 8GB features a search option shortcut on the standby screen utilizing Nokia’s new Mobile Search utility and the annoying multimedia menu from the original N95 has been replaced with a more useful rotating menu.

Even with that changes, the new Nokia N95 8GB still keep several features that its predecessor has like the Carl Zeiss optics 5 megapixel camera, TV out, Stereo FM radio, Organizer, 3G video calling, WAP 2.0, Symbian OS S60, video dial/memo and so on.

For my first article on this blog site, will be tackling the Nokia N-Series phone that has created quite a craze among tech savvies, the Nokia N95. Nokia N95 is highly 3G good-looking smart phone built on the Series 60 Symbian interface and is a two way slider opening mechanism phone with a plum-and-silver color casing.
The N95 Nokia measures a compact 3.8 inches long by 2.1 inches wide by 0.8 inch thick (99 x 53 x 21 mm) and weighs only 4.2 ounces(120 gram). The screen of Nokia N95 is 2.6 Inches in size & provides a 240 x 320 pixel screen resolution with 16 million colour and TFT display. The Nokia N95 is equipped with an impressive 5-megapixel camera. The camera optic used a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar optic that enhances your imaging experience.
The N95 phone comes with 160 Mb of internal memory and users can expand the phones memory by a microSD memory card up to 8Gb. Battery life is up to 6 hours and 30 mins for talk-time and up to 220 hours on stanby mode. Has infrared, bluetooth, USB port, internal speaker that produce quality sounds, stereo FM radio, TV-out, music player, Java Technology, wallpapers and ringtones : polyphonic(64 channels), monophonic , MP3 ringtones.
Nokia N95 also packed with a integrated GPS mapping application user can get color map route and get the turn by turn directions and give accurate route calculations. It GPS navigation support over hundred of countries and perform a good job. Nokia n95 support quadband networks GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G HSDPA 2100 HSDPA 850 / 1900 - US version
I won’t mention any of the shortcoming about this device, this will be reserve for you. So any violent reactions(lol…) and comments about this phone are very much welcome.
