Nokia has started selling its N95 two-way slide phone to U.S. customers in Nokia Flagship stores, through selected retailers, and on the company's Web site. The N95 includes a 5-megapixel camera that uses the same 1/2.5-inch sensor size as many ultracompact cameras, paired with a four-element Carl Zeiss-branded lens that is protected by a built-in cover. The f/2.9-5.5 autofocus lens provides an angle of view that's about the same as that of a 35mm lens on a 35mm film camera. The N95 also incorporates an LED flash, a 2.6-inch LCD, and a microSD memory card slot.
The N95's camera functions include eight automatic JPEG shooting modes, exposure compensation, white balance and color selections, and numerous effects and editing tools available in review mode. There's also an MPEG-4 video mode that captures digitally stabilized VGA images at 30fps with stereo sound. The N95 comes loaded with photo blogging software and uses the Symbian S60 operating system, which supports many third-party imaging and other mobile software applications.
Aside from its imaging capabilities, the phone runs on EDGE/GSM 850/900/1800/2100, WCDMA/HSDPA 2100, and WLAN networks. Its extensive list of features includes integrated GPS, FM radio, video and music players, Web and e-mail functions, and a secondary camera for making video calls.
The N95 carries a $749 retail price and comes with a 1GB microSD card and a TV-out cable, along with other accessories. Further information is available at Nokia's microsite for N Series phones, www.nseries.com.
