The tremendous buzz captured all our attention, and as days neared by, the market waited anxiously for the launch of the PC Killer - Nokia N95. But when the mobile ultimately made its debut, a shade of disappointment adulterated the excitement, and many were found to thinking (sarcastically) O is that what computers have been made into!? Indeed, Nokia N95 is enabled with good designing sense and ergonomics, but there is nothing extraordinary in the device that could compel you to forget your computer. After all have we not seen Blackberry and iMate try the trick before?

It would be more apt to call the Nokia N95 a contemporary lifestyle accessory, rather than a replacement for a computer. To begin with, unlike the computers, the Nokia N95 lacks a full fledged QWERTY keypad. This absence kills the feel and convenience of a PC at one go, and already makes many frown. Next in the line, is the disappointment of the much hyped GPS or global positioning system. In some of the crowded cities, the device took many minutes to pinpoint its location, by which time one would rather prefer to pull out a map. Then, there were also complaints of trouble picking up a signal in cities where buildings often get in the way. While in the rural areas, the GPS became sluggish, because it could not find a network.

Nokia N95 comes with a bad battery life. Now considering the fact that one equates the device with the energy and prowess of computers, it is rather disappointing to know that the Nokia N95 starts crying after 18 hours of use. The phone also experiences slight delay in picking up commands, and is a bulky in size. So, while browsing your pleasure definitely gets marred. And yes, the Nokia N95comes with a high price.

Thus, as far as you do not expect the Nokia N95 to act like your computer, the device does a fairly impressive job. The marketeers of Nokia should realise that the target audience for such a high-end device, is also mature enough. And marketing gimmicks would only mar the image of a good phone.
