Using The Nokia N95 In 2021? - Nostalgia Overload

[@perfectlyroundcircle]

I just love how phones looked so different from each other before. Now they all look the same...

[@samlung2724]

Not much you can do when the whole front of the phone is screen.

[@samadwilles.w.a.g9820]

Also cars kinda look the same

[@iAmDislikingEveryShort]

And how unusable they were 😢

[@abozbaboz]

@@samadwilles.w.a.g9820 no.

[@FahimHoq]

Customers are also at fault for this as well. Since when they do make something different, such as folding phones, people often don't purchase them. They also don't demand something different either. For instance, people are happy with the same design from iphones year after year and keep buying them.

[@brianpritchard2408]

I am using the N95 as a daily second phone on a different network as signals are quite flakey where I live. Plus I find using it just as a phone very easy as it fits in my pocket. Also, I like the use of all the buttons and slide mechanism more tactile than boring flatscreens. Modern phones are boring slabs all looking the same plus they are huge causing them to fall out of pockets resulting in costly replacement glass.

[@عمرالهاشمي1985]

I bought a similar Nokia N95 a week ago in a mobile store specialized in selling old Nokia phones. I bought it with all its contents in an original carton, made in Finland, at a price of 270 Saudi riyals. I want to go back to the past, and I left smart phones only to browse KZbin and Facebook

[@inosukehashibara5930]

That's nice your country still sells original ones but here in my country sells fake made in china

[@beingmilo1]

Same here

[@itxofficial8281]

Thanks for this elaborate review!! As you know, I've had the N95 8GB as my daily driver back in 2007, and like you mentioned, the camera was incredibly professional and superior for its time. It was the first time I confidently used my phone as my main camera during holidays, without even bringing a seperate digicam with me like I used to do before. I still got some photos and videos of that time on my old HDD, maybe I will post them in our sub at one point.

[@Techformative557]

Hey Man! Glad you liked it! ..oh thats cool, I yet have to get my hands on an 8gb N95..will do a video on that as well..and yeah the camera on this is just amazing..it still can take amazing pics given the right conditions

[@dreamingtv.visayas9007]

i want to buy 1

[@aaronsmith8439]

I had this and the 8gb version, probably my fav phone of all time

[@05Arf]

Amazing retro lookback

[@Techformative557]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@micahjoelgeimer4215]

I have one coming in the mail this week. Gonna try to limit my social media use as much as possible

[@LouisPeppie]

I watched this because I’m thinking of getting this phone as my every day use phone. Thank you.

[@cfjermedal1]

I wanted one of these so bad back in the day, but I was a poor 23 year old and I rocked the pink razr

[@skyline_supra_guy3756]

That was my first ever phone which I got at the age of 11 in 2009

[@snowcold903]

you spoiled brat. just kidding. Bought this phone today and it is still possible to use it as a main phone

[@kgb1982]

I had both N95 and N95 8g both were great phones

[@moodyyuhoody]

Just booted mine up ,1st time since 2011. Still great

[@pappo666]

i still have this in a box in the storage man loved that when it came out i still do it felt so good in my hands

[@vlahostrazicic861]

Had one in 2007. Nice gadget. But, battery life was very short, even back in that days, 1-2 days of moderate use was mediocre. Strange, never bought one again (had N95 8GB). Mine also had loose display part. And, yes, for some reason I had to send in service because it was not charging battery. Nice review. Best regards from Dubrovnik/CRO!

[@Techformative557]

Oh yeah the 8gb model was a huge downgrade..the battery life was bad and it was prone to issues..the 1st gen was far superior and just an overall amazing phone

[@Petar321_GT]

@@Techformative557 maybe battery life yeah. But it wasnt a huge downgrade, and it was well worth the sacrifice

[@MissSixtiesPennyLane]

​,

[@MissSixtiesPennyLane]

​I had the 8gb and the battery life was great for the time. I never 3ver had any problems with it! The best phone I've ever owned

[@emrandafadar4445]

I am so wanting to use this phone in today's world instead of those bigger 6-7 inch displays I wish nokia will release this iconic legendary looking device with modern technology

[@edbo10]

i still use one as my personal phone, it's well worn but still trucking along. had to replace the battery due to swelling though. most of the apps no longer work, or aren't fully functional, but just as a phone it's pretty great. It rarely gets a GPS signal though, however I've read about people who opened their phones and used a bit of wire to basically create a bigger antenna.

[@pinkylover1968]

Hello very good memories with my Nokia N95 I miss it very much. So much I could of done with the phone. One day i would very much like to get back one again . Two thumbs up!

[@NikkiKuehnemund]

Can't believe I still have this in a drawer somewhere 😊

[@nostalgiainjection8867]

Me 2😍

[@keyblade5916]

Love the Nokia Click Slide sound. So satisfying!

[@geraldmcmullon2465]

The plastic clip on the battery compartment break easily. I have had several replacements even with it always in a flip open case. The power chord has lost the covering plastic but still works. The plug slips out so has to be charged held vertically to use the weight to hold the plug in place. Battery can be replaced. The excellent maps no longer work, even with the local maps on the microSD card. GPS works but was always slow in finding the signal. In built up cities with many high buildings the battery would drain before you got a GPS signal. Unless you had spare batteries a day's sight seeing taking photos and using the street maps drained the battery before mid-day. In normal use it would last a week between charges. Internet service from most carriers and at home from wi-fi. The web browser still works - depending on web site but the screen is a window onto the page needing a lot of scrolling around to use. Without a touch screen almost un-usable. The stereo speakers are good and FM radio adequate via the wired earphones when out and about. I bought mine second hand in 2009, upgraded from the Sony K800 and still used it in 2021, although after 2018 only to use up credit on the SIM having got my first Android phone for its 23Mp camera, dashcam, workable internet and maps. The internal clock fails when the battery drains. I presume it has a separate battery backup for the clock and that is dead.

[@Suguru_Getoooooo]

The 8GB version moved the SD card spot to behind the battery

[@garethsmyth6593]

I have one of these forms back in around 2008. A nice looking phone but boy did it crash something terrible rebooting itself from time to time. Also the battery cover was very flimsy and could easily break but with a good protective case it wasn’t such an issue. Thanks for the trip down memory lane though and for the review.

[@dooogides9176]

U can access to KZbin I found video about how open on n95

[@wandaa7866]

Still have one: the Black N95, complete with earphone, loader, usb data cable 2008 had a great sound

[@KoQuitlam88]

This was my first Smartphone back in 2007.

[@caliban8960]

The Nokia N95 looks like really nice phone for smartphone/internet detox. I was wondering if the maps app still works even while its probably horribly out of date it would be pretty usefull especially in citys and if there is an e-mail client for this phone?

[@Techformative557]

even if there was..the app signing issue will have to be bypassed before installing it..the built in email app doesnt really work well

[@caliban8960]

@@Techformative557 That’s unfortunate! Otherwise this would be a really nice phone … even today. Anyway thank you!

[@geraldmcmullon2465]

For awhile I was able to use the maps already downloaded, but could not access updates or maps for regions I had not already connected to. That too stopped working. I still get the pointer to show where I am but the map has no detail. Camera is excellent, even at only 5Mp, stereo built in speakers or connect to powered speakers still useful for its FM radio and playing music or podcasts. With a new (recent) battery is able to run for a week between charges.

[@conlomerate4841]

Sad thing is currently in IOS you cannot get Clock and date properly showing as a widget as something you take it granted for N95

[@pumpedupbro4200]

I ordered two n95, one regular 4gb and other 8gb from ebay just to mess with them. I always wanted one when I was younger but couldn't afford back then

[@jasonmurdoch9936]

At 2.37 that is the euro version.n95-2 n95-3 American with att 3g and 3.5g bands 850 mhz 1900 plus 2g edge for mobile only. I actually still have this phone the only reason why I quit using it way back when was because I dropped it in a bucket of Grease and the display got ruined but the phone actually still works

I bought this phone today and even works ok with a sim in it lol

[@jonathanmoore8023]

I still use this for traveling when I don't want (or need) data .. (if I do I take my Punkt so I can hotspot). Grabbing a USB charging cable has brought new life and longevity to relying on this device! Love using it with my OG headphones

Of what you mentioned about the "dual-cpus" in that phone reminds me of the Pentium 4 processor with Hyper Threading. It even works the same way as the Pentium 4 I bet...

[@Techformative557]

Probably yess..Ive forgotten much of my P4 knowledge tho haha..even the Nokia N91 used a dual cpu system

Buy a second hand recently. It kinda have a lot of memories to me when I'm still a student. I would try to install emulator in and play game in class while teacher don't know. Now buying another one, I try to accept that a lot of thing this device no longer able to do. My main reason to get it is to use as backup to make a phone call to family or a multimedia device. The modern smartphone battery gone too fast and so annoying.

[@plutoniumnitrate1201]

when downloading you have to say yes as i did it with no issues

[@BubBledsBlue]

Hi! My school does not allow the use of smartphones with the sole exception of using these "cellphones" or whatever these Symbian phone types were called. I'm looking for a usable one that can do calling (to communicate with my parents at school) while also having awesome games to play during lunch breaks, specifically asphalt games. Is the Nokia n95 still a viable and usable choice? Given the fact that I cannot use smartphones, will that make this phone alot more valuable nowadays? I need help! If I get the n95, do I have to replace the battery and how much do they cost? Do I have to buy anything else for it? And is it ready to use out of the box?

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

I miss buttons, buttons are good and you don't have to look to know what you're pressing. If they brought back this design with a normal touch screen but with a slide out keyboard and media controls then i'd buy it

[@lenOwOo]

how far the speaker thecnology have come?. . also it has gps right? do it still works?

[@pijushmondal7212]

Bro I wanna buy this one, can this be used as a mp3 player only? Will i have any software issue? or battery issue?

[@geraldmcmullon2465]

It takes 16Gb microSD and so stores a lot of MP3 music/podcasts. Plug into earphones or powered speakers is still a neat portable media player - if you get on with the media player supplied. It works but not the best interface media player. Batteries can be purchased new. Battery cover has tags that easily break and I have had several over the years. For phone calls, text messages, FM radio and MP3 player still adequate. GPS works. Web browsing always poor and the maps don't display streets now.

Just bought this phone lol. put a sim through it and it is able to send and receive mms messages but those take a little time before it completes them. other than that it still works nicely for calling and sending sms. Wish they never took down the 3g network tho. And this important tip is very late but never flip it to the side of the mp3 player buttons as it will tear the screen cable
