The reviews for the N95 don’t stop!

Mark over at Gizmodo made a nice round up of 5 reviews. Some I linked to, some I haven’t. I found these today:

C|Net’s Bonnie Cha:

Likes:

  • Beautiful screen
  • Large keys
  • Love the 5 MP camera
  • GPS is great, but it took a while to get a lock
  • Call quality was like being on a landline

Dislikes:

  • $750
  • No USA 3G
  • Battery life
  • Phone feels cheap
  • Locking mechanism isn’t strong enough; phone opens when you put it in your pocket
  • No document editing, only viewing
  • S60 is sluggish

Lisa Gade of Mobile Tech Review:

Likes:

  • Great bundled accessories. Asia gets a nice leather case
  • Build quality
  • Large keys
  • Built in stereo speakers sound awesome
  • Call quality is outstanding
  • Browser
  • More responsive than Windows Mobile, but less responsive than Palm
  • GPS rocks, but takes a few minutes to get a satellite lock
  • Best video recorded on the market
  • Photos are great most of the time, but sometimes a dedicated camera or a Sony Cybershot will produce a better result
  • Battery will last you thru the end of the day

Dislikes:

  • Screen slides from side to side
  • No USA 3G
  • No document creation or editing, only viewing
  • $750
  • Software Bug: When selecting an address for the maps application, only the first word in the address is used
  • Noise with included earbuds
  • LED Flash

Sascha Segan of PC Magazine:

Likes:

  • S60 feels fast, very fast
  • Best music phone ever reviewed
  • Very good reception
  • Image quality is competent enough to play with dedicated cameras

Dislikes:

  • $750
  • No USA 3G
  • "Slowest autofocus ever"
  • Poor flash
  • Turn off image stabilization or your videos give you a "wave" effect
  • Hiss can be heard in the quiet parts of music
  • GPS isn’t as sensitive as dedicated units, but still a pleasure to use
