The plastic on the N95 feels cheap?

I’ve played with an N95 before and while it doesn’t seem to have that solid metal feel of my E61, it’s far from what I would call "cheap."
What about the rest of you N95 owners out there?


The device is rather light for its size. Between the E65 and the N95 the E65 does feel more solid possibly due to the rubbery textured plastic back and bezel as well as the completely different slide mechanism. Lets keep in mind though that there are complaints about the E65’s durability although I have not experienced them myself. All this being said, I can see some people making the statement that it feels cheap. For those of you familiar with DSLR camera’s its like comparing a Nikion D70 and a Canon Rebel. Some make pickup the Rebel and say it feels cheap after they held the Nikon when the truth is they both are fantastic cameras and under the proper care should last equally as long.
nokia phone material is never “cheap”. the N95 feels awesome!

If it’s anything like the covers in N73, it is practically scratch free! I have used my about 5 months and your are hard pressed to find any signs of that. Only the camera covers silverish paint in the top shows that I don’t mind tossing my phone around a bit.
It does feel cheap compared to the feel of the n95 8gb.
