Nokia N95 8GB

25 Feb, 2008, 2:08 pm IST | Laiq Qureshi | Mobile phones

The music is good enough. The phone plays MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+ and WMA, and though I expected it to be loud, it barely lives up to this expectation. Sound quality is good, nevertheless, and manual EQ settings are offered in addition to presets. The video player supports MP4 and 3GP formats. The phone comes with a 3.5mm jack so that you can use your own headphones.

While we're at it, I'd like to express my dislike for the placement of the earphone jack. If you want to keep the phone propped up on any surface to watch a movie etc, you simply cannot do this while the earphones are connected. Since you can’t turn the screen upside down in landscape mode, this is a serious disadvantage.

The N95 8GB has a better battery life than its predecessor and even heavy usage won't leave you high and dry. The phone costs Rs 28,000 which is about 6K more than the N95 classic, mostly because of the increased storage space and additional RAM. Most other things remain the same, so there's no reason not to pick this up. You'll need to accept that the phone can be a bit sluggish though.
