I’ve been looking for good N95 reviews, to see if my $749 worth it.

I found this and I do agree that this is a senseless review.

You talked about the great features that the N95 has and you still didn’t like it because there’s no QWERTY or pokey ??? Well this is a matter of preference. QWERTY or pokey doesn’t matter. And what the hell about Tomtom ? Can you carry it in your pocket???

Do you really own the N95 to do a hands-on review???????

I think this is senseless review.First Iphone is not yet out you need to compare after using it in real life not based on fancy presentation .Even in that case as earlier comments has already suggested the iphone feature is no match to N95 .Regarding usage of N95 it is for people who want to have one device serving many purpose and not for people who define smartphone as the one with qwerty keyboard .so basically you can’t compare phones on narrow individualistic taste .It may be it is adapted more in europe than in US becuase of simple reason europe and rest of world is very much advanced in terms of feature usage and adaption in wireless domain than US .
But again please try to review it more objectively like done by gizmado and other site .

Why wouldn’t a carrier pick it up? I’m not European, but the combo of phone + real camera (i.e. not just 1.3 megapixels or flashless) + music player (that with the right SD card, has real capacity) appeals to me. I’m also weird in that I use an SDA but don’t pay for a data plan – I like the Outlook synch but don’t want to pay for data. So even though the lack of full keypad and Symbian OS makes this a smartphone “light,” it still seems like a solid convergence device.

The camera is what really does it, I think. Besides all the other things about the iPhone that might suck (and really, no one should say what Apple “did right” or “did wrong” with the iPhone until it’s actually in the hands of a couple reviewers), a phone that comes with a 2.0mp camera is just in a different category than a phone that comes with a 5.mp camera. The first is a phone with a camera, the second is a convergence phone + camera. Or at least it can be.

Zark,

Yes, I realize that, but in the US that’s the price we’re going to pay unless – and it’s doubtful – someone picks it up.

Phone prices seem to drop faster than the resale value on US cars. I’m glad that Nokia didn’t give it some whitty name like the Razor, Krazor or FlyingMonkey – N95 is just fine.

You do realize that the $750 is unsubsidized price? Here in Europe I can get the N95 starting from 28 euros / month (a two year carrier contract, but no SIM lock). No other payments needed.

E.g. iPhone costs $600 subsidized. So you have pay $600 _and_ a separate monthly contract.

Without carrier subsidy all the smartphones are expensive.
