So I decided on the Nokia N95-3 after using Sony Ericsson models exclusively since 2001. My SE S700i was on its last legs, but has served me well since Dec 2004. After reading many opinions, and reviews, I thought I would add my 2 cents after playing with the phone for about one week. Like many reviewers have said, this could perhaps be one of the best phones of the year, or perhaps, ever.
Pros:
- Camera: 5 MP pictures are great, lots of manual options, great in low light
- Screen: Large and very bright
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, infrared, HSDPA, EDGE, Wi-Fi are great
- Speaker: Great stereo speakers for speaker phone, and MP3 use
- Build: Very nice, solid and satisfying clicking when sliding screen, keys are good. Rubberized backing is great
- OS: Symbian S60 is quite fast. Really easy to navigate, and multi-task multiple programs. Capable of downloading many S60 applications
- Synchronization: Syncs easily with Outlook via bluetooth 2.0, infrared, or USB
- GPS: Cold fix only takes about 40-60 seconds, normal like other GPS devices
- Voice Dialing: Don't need to record your voice, it simply knows based on how it is named in your phone book
- Stand by: Clock, date, and current profile was something that I missed on the S700i during the dimmed stand by screen
Cons:
- Alarm: Can't use the radio as an option for the alarm
- Texting: I like SE's T9 more, where it's much easier to add in a comma or pick the correct predictive word from a mini list that pops out, rather than pressing * to cycle through them
- Battery Life: About 1.5 days with Wi-Fi, GPS, and 3G use, but was expected with all of the power hungry applications. Battery area is quite warm after a while
- Ear Piece: Most N95's (Google search it) have a slight buzz or humming emanating from around the ear piece when the LCD is on. Also sounds slightly hollow during calls
- Head Phones: There is some static from the head phones when listening to music on quiet songs, but not to the extent like the W810i
