The N95 isn’t perfect

… according to Matt Miller.

The N95 has some of the best reception out of the 100+ mobile device he has tested, but the glue used to hold the two pieces of plastic between the LCD doesn’t hold. For $750 I’d be disappointed too.

2-3 minutes to lock onto a satellite isn’t very encouraging either, but a full day worth of battery power is.

After reading 10+ N95 reviews the trends are clear as glass:

  • Expensive
  • Battery life is a concern
  • No USA 3G
  • Phone feels light, a little too light
  • Camera and camcorder produce acceptable quality images

How can a phone be too light?

I held a Vertu in my hands for the first time in my life at the Evening with S60 event. I was not expecting my wrist to bend when the woman placed the device in my hand.

You can seriously use a Vertu as a blunt object to incapacitate someone with and I’m fully confident it will still work.

You actually feel where that $5,000 went.
