Gizmodo got a hold of a Nokia N95 phone/GPS/computer/etc and was kind enough to review it for us…
The Gizmodo reviewer starts off with a significant negative of the device, namely complexity. The converged functionality of a device that combines — GPS, a music player, 160MB of memory & a microSD slot, 5MB camera & a 2nd CIF camera, video recording/editing, radio, stereo speakers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, office document viewer, HSDPA and telephony all in a 120g package — is both inspiring & intimidating. The commentator suggests that it would take days to understand the device, not to mention reading through the 140-page Nokia N95 User Guide.
Among other things, Gizmodo liked the GPS functionality of the N95 and the camera – they weren’t thrilled with the battery life, the price and the euro-centric HSDPA. Would they buy the N95?…in a word, no.

“Inspiring and intimidating”–that’s how I’ve felt about so many smartphones for a long time now!
They’re even more intimidating now with location-based apps.
