Handphone Nokia N95 8GB , Nokia N95 Greats

Review by Spiridonov Anton

Let's clear up some facts concerning the naming of the device. Why should it be Nokia N95 8Gb and not Nokia N95i or N96? The answer is quite simple, the magic sound of N95 is something very familiar to a consumer even faintly acquainted with the mobile telecoms market, it's clearly associated with something that has existed for a certain period of time and is quite successful, so the name is part of the franchise's goodwill and indirectly imposes the idea that the new product is just as good as its predecessor - a fact obvious to some and needing to be injected into the heads of others. The 8GB prefix only boosts the power of the N95 title, acting much more efficiently than the less meaningful "i" letter. Once you hear somebody say 8GB you understand that this stands for a large storage capacity rarely encountered on today's market.

It's too naive to think that the 8Gb of integrated flash storage is the only major improvement introduced in the new version, in fact a number of aspects have seen some serious improvements - both hardware and software related alike, as well as the exterior design has been revised. But on the whole the new model doesn't claim to be a totally independent creation, keeping much of the original essense and feel of N95. So we won't be reviewing the part of functionality that was left unchanged since N95, but the article will mainly be focused on the differences and improvements.
