Yippeeee! My new N95 is here!

Thursday 19 April , 2007

After the delay from the supposed launch date of March ‘07 to actually come out in April, and waiting soo patiently for it, I am allowed to be a little over excited? ;-)

So anyway, my N95 got delivered this morning and woooow!

Nokia N95

There are many reviews of the phone and also great ‘unboxing’ videos and pics out there, so I am not going to do the same… To be honest, there wasnt much of a wow-factor with the box and packaging. I’ve seen better. (Apple iPod packaging takes over in that regards.) – The insides of the box however, have plenty to be wow-ed with! From Tv-Out cable to headphones that contain a media controller, there is much to be thankful for.

With the phone itself, I really do think that Nokia have really excelled themselves. There is this industry accepted idea that manufacturers dont really create the ‘perfect’ fone as then how would they replace it with the subsequent N96, N97 and N98’s and so on… But I think they really have tried to do so this time with the N95!

After my brief time questioning the Nokia brand with my experience with the 6280, I think I may have been won round again to my belief in the quality of Nokia. Its the little, unmentioned features that impress me.

As soon as I switched the fone on, I was greeted by a Welcome-Slideshow-type Application that went on to set up the phone, prompting me for information such as the Time Zone, Country etc. So what did it do next?

It asks me if I have an older Nokia fone and if I would like to synchronise the details…
It read my mind! :-) I was really thinking how I am going to move my tons of Calendar entries and contact details from this fone to the other. It could not have been done in a more painless way! Asked to switch on bluetooth, both the phones get paired up, and before you know it, everything has been copied over! Problem solved!

This is just one example however. It has always been great Nokia software that distinguishes it from the rest. Within seconds of everything loading up, the fone has detected my wireless network. Tap in the WEP Key and I am connected to the web. Simple.
