Nokia N95 8GB ? Memory and Storage Powerhouse
As mobile phone, camera and computer technologies converge,
there are some powerful contenders vying for the number one Smartphone spot in
users hearts and minds. One of the more
notable entries in this ongoing competition is the Nokia N95 8GB.
The new N95 carries one of its biggest improvements and is
named after it ? eight gigabytes (8GB) of internal flash memory for storing
music, pictures, ring
reserved for storing videos and images as well as personal information such as
calendar entries and for other applications.
The dynamic memory is used to store up to 30 days of call information
including dialed, received and missed calls.
Although the MicroSD slot has been removed to the
frustration of some users, an enhanced USB interface should make any drawbacks
to the change unnoticeable for most users, and will actually prove to be an
added feature for many. The ongoing development
of the tools and applications for Nokia users means that the USB connection can
be used for superior synchronization between phone and computer, and the N95
8GB even supports remote over-the-air synchronization. One of the sweetest improvements we love is
the ease of drag and drop for moving information back and forth. They’ve even enhanced the ability to
synchronize with other compatible Nokia devices.
One hundred and twenty eight (128) megabytes of RAM (Random
Access Memory) gives the user an experience of ease and speed (On a side note,
in some areas a 95 MB version is available).
The 442 MGz (megahertz) CPU (Central Processing Unit) drives the phone
and goes a long way towards enhancing the usage of any multi-media as well as
the camera phone itself.
Leveraging the expanded storage is made easier with the
ability to download Java applications over the air. Data is useless without the needed tools to use it, and this
small tweak by Nokia made customizing the N95 with the tools we needed almost
effortless and greatly improved our ability to make use of it.
As power users, we do typically prefer using a keyboard, and
the N95 does support use of a wireless keyboard, sold separately ? of
course. Although using the wireless
keyboard proved cumbersome in some of the situations that we found ourselves in
on the go, it did greatly improve overall performance and productivity for us.
The user interface that lays over the applications and data
is easy to use, fast, sleek and efficient and offers superior touch screen
technology. In contrast, other phones
that we’ve reviewed offered a frustrating lack of sophistication in their touch
screens and we often found ourselves backtracking to the right menu selection
when the touch screen was unable to accurately track our selections. There are dedicated media keys and a
multimedia menu, helping to separate out some of the functionality from the
productivity tools that we tend to use more often.
The N95 8GB by Nokia is already proving it’s value in the
marketplace , and as more and more users try it is building a reputation for
power.
