The N95 has built-in WiFi, with which it can access the Internet (through a [[802.11|802.11b/g]] wireless network). The N95 can also connect to the Internet through a carrier packet data network such as [[UMTS]], [[HSDPA]], or [[EDGE]]. The web browser displays full web pages as opposed to simplified pages as on most other phones. Web pages may be viewed in portrait or landscape mode and automatic zooming is supported. The N95 also has Bluetooth built in and works with wireless earpieces that use Bluetooth 2.0 technology and for file transfer. It should be noted that the N95 does not support US based versions of UMTS/HSDPA; UMTS features in the US versions of this phone are disabled by default (but can be reactivated if needed). The phone can also act a WAN access point allowing a tethered PC access to a carrier's packet data network. VoIP software and functionality is also included with the phone (though some carriers have opted to remove this feature). |

The Nokia N95 is a smartphone produced by Nokia. It is part of the company's Nseries line of smartphones. The N95's features include standard features of s60 3rd edition platform with feature pack 1. The phone utilizes a two-way slider allowing access to media playback buttons or a keypad, but not both simultaneously.
History
It was unveiled in September 2006 and was released in mid-March 2007. It is based on S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 software on the Symbian OS (v9.2).
Nokia has heavily promoted this phone as "It's what computers have become."
On March 22, 2007 Nokia announced that the N95 had started shipping in key European, Asian and Middle Eastern markets. [1].
On April 7, 2007, the N95 went on sale in the United States through Nokia's Flagship stores in New York and Chicago and through Nokia's nseries.com website. No US carriers are expected to offer this phone.
Nokia N95 handsets supplied by Orange and Vodafone in the UK have the VoIP facility missing from the phone to the annoyance of many users. Vodafone's reason for removing the facility was that it "doesn't believe it's a mature technology".[2]
Features
Integrated GPS system
The N95 contains an integrated GPS receiver which is located below the 0 key on the keypad. The phone ships with navigation software. Maps are free and can be downloaded either over the air (via a carrier's data packet network) or through the phone's built-in Wifi. Maps can also be downloaded via a PC using the Nokia MapLoader application. Individual city guides and voice navigation are also available, but require a fee.
Imaging abilities
The N95 is particularly notable for its built-in 5 Megapixel (2592 x 1944) digital camera with Carl Zeiss Optics, autofocus and digital zoom. The camera can also be used to record video at 480p30 (640 x 480 at 30 FPS) near DVD quality.
The N95 also contains a frontal CIF camera for video calls. On April 24 2007, the N95 won the prestigious 'Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe 2007' award by TIPA (Technical Image Press Association), the largest photo and imaging press association in Europe.
Multimedia abilities
The N95 is a full fledged music player. It supports MP3, WMA, RealAudio, SP-MIDI, AAC+, eAAC+, MIDI, AMR, M4A, True Tones. Its two-way slider, when slid towards the keypad, allows access to its media playback buttons. A standard 3.5mm jack is located on the left side of the phone and allows the user to connect any standard headphones to the unit; a user can also use Bluetooth for audio output. Capable built-in stereo speakers allow the user to forgo any headphones. The N95 is also capable of playing videos through the included Realplayer application. Video can be output to a TV (or similar device) via a composite cable.
Internet
The N95 has built-in WiFi, with which it can access the Internet (through a 802.11b/g wireless network). The N95 can also connect to the Internet through a carrier packet data network such as UMTS, HSDPA, or EDGE. The web browser displays full web pages as opposed to simplified pages as on most other phones. Web pages may be viewed in portrait or landscape mode and automatic zooming is supported. The N95 also has Bluetooth built in and works with wireless earpieces that use Bluetooth 2.0 technology and for file transfer. It should be noted that the N95 does not support US based versions of UMTS/HSDPA; UMTS features in the US versions of this phone are disabled by default (but can be reactivated if needed). The phone can also act a WAN access point allowing a tethered PC access to a carrier's packet data network. VoIP software and functionality is also included with the phone (though some carriers have opted to remove this feature).
