When I bought the N95(basic, gold), it was really expensive, - A Top of the Line Phone.
But even now, almost 2 years later, the phone compares with the best of the them.
**5 Reasons the N95 is VFM even today**
1. The 5 MP Camera.
Very few phones even today have the fantastic 5 MP, high quality with flash Camera. The N95s has excellent capturing software and hardware that makes Day-time pics look great. There too much noise in the night, but there are ways of working around it.
2. The Powerful Hardware
This thing was a beast. With tons of Open source Symbian software, the n95 is a modifiers dream. The most important thing though, is that its hardware is more than upto the task of handling heavy software requirements. Go ahead, try it out.
3. The Music
The only Phone on the Planet to beat the iPhone in Music quality! And it comes with a Standard headphone jack.
Now, I have an iPhone too, and I can tell you, the n95 quality is superior. Yeh. thats right.
Sure the iPhone is awesome and the touchscreen flipping tracks is fun, but when is comes to clarity and volume, the N95 wins.
Its also got a Radio that works nicely.
4. Wi-Fi, 3g & GPS
Lots of phones have wi-fi and GPS today. But the N95 was a pioneer. Both work excellently on this, and its Large screen size makes it a good low-cost alternative to those Rs.30000 phones.
5. Silly thing doesnt break.
The problem with large bags(purses) is that sometimes. sometimes, when you take things out. other things also come out. Fall out.
My n95 has hit the floor sooo many times, its not funny. But it keeps working.
So.thats what I say. Go buy an N95. I love it.
