N95 8GB is ‘nothing but great’

May 15th, 2008

The guys over at Swedish Tech Report have shared their unboxing pics and initial thoughts of their brand new N95 8GB.

If you’re looking at upgrading to an N95 8GB from an original N95, or buying one straight out, this is a good place to have a look at the updated features and get started on what the device can really do. Coming from a QWERTY keyboard, T9 was ‘really fun to use’, and the screen gets a mention for ‘working great’ both indoors and out. What gets the most praise, though, is the 5MP camera (the one with the Carl Zeiss optics). The Swedish Tech Report verdict? ‘Nothing but amazing’. High commendation indeed, and it doesn’t stop there with the review going on to say that the camera takes good pictures both inside and out.

All round good news for the N95 8GB then, but is there anything you can add? What would you like to see explored in the next update? Jump over to their site and let the guys know.

  While I agree that the Nokia N95 is a great product — perhaps the only real pro-quality, all-in-one tool for mobile reporting and blogging — in the US, Nokia’s service is so bad as to be a dealbreaker for many US consumers.

  The main problems are:

  - Any service (even under warranty) requires shipping your phone back to Nokia at your own expense and waiting a month (some people report longer) for repair or replacement.

  - A clunky, onerous, confusing PC-only firmware update process that Nokia has acknowledged has been damaging some phones (it bricked my N95-3 in April).

  - New units being shipped with old firmware.

  Fortunately, Nokia is engaging its US customers in a public conversation about these and other US service problems. That’s happening right now in a series of service-related posts on Nokia’s blog: conversations.nokia.com

  If you’re in the US and have concerns or questions about Nokia’s US service, now would be a good time to chime in on the comments of those posts.

  I just posted an overview of the discussion so far, with links to Nokia’s posts and discussions elsewhere: http://urltea.com/37r2 (Video version: http://seesmic.com/v/JzrmBidZ7d)

  The N95 is indeed a great product. Now, US users are hoping that Nokia will start caring about their experience *after* the sale.
