Conclusion
The Nokia N95 is an excellent choice for avid cell phone users who don't necessarily need to have the office with them at all times. I found the phone to interact on par with both Cingular cell phone service and
T-Mobile. The lack of an Exchange Server program did surprise me, but the phone as a whole entity was more than a medium level user could want, need, or ask for. The camera needs some tweaking, but still offers some of the best pictures available on a cellular device, while the Quad Band GSM feature allows GSM users to take the phone with them wherever they go. The unlocked version I was using allowed for easy internet connectivity, while the GPS left something to be desired (although it worked better with the slider in the open position as Nokia suggests).
Overall the Nokia N95 is worth the high buy cost, even if it is a bit sluggish, because the real added value comes in the form of additions to the phones software, and the use of third party GPS receivers and up close and regular length picture taking (Which was clear with deep rich colors). The Nokia N95 proves that synergy between devices is not only possible, but more importantly can be cost effective, the combination of devices within this single unit could cost hundreds of dollars more if purchased separately.
