Integrated GPS system

The N95 contains an integrated GPS receiver which is located below the 0 key on the keypad. The phone ships with navigation software. Maps are free and can be downloaded either over the air (via a carrier's data packet network) or through the phone's built-in Wifi. Maps can also be downloaded via a PC using the Nokia MapLoader application. Individual city guides and voice navigation are also available, but require a fee. A-GPS was added later, which greatly improved the performance of the GPS. Major GPS Software, TomTom Navigator 6, does not support use of the N95s internal GPS currently.

Imaging abilities

The N95 is particularly notable for its built-in 5 Megapixel (2592 x 1944) digital camera with Carl Zeiss Optics, autofocus and digital zoom. The camera can also be used to record video at 480p30 (640 x 480 at 30 FPS), nearly NTSC DVD resolution.

The N95 also contains a frontal CIF camera for video calls. On April 24 2007, the N95 won the prestigious 'Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe 2007' award by TIPA (Technical Image Press Association), the largest photo and imaging press association in Europe.

Multimedia abilities

The N95 is a full fledged music player. It supports MP3, WMA, RealAudio, SP-MIDI, AAC+, eAAC+, MIDI, AMR, M4A, True Tones. Its two-way slider, when slid towards the keypad, allows access to its media playback buttons. A standard 3.5mm jack is located on the left side of the phone and allows the user to connect any standard headphones to the unit; a user can also use Bluetooth for audio output using A2DP. Capable built-in stereo speakers allow the user to forgo any headphones. The N95 is also capable of playing videos through the included RealPlayer application. Video can be output to a TV (or similar device) via a composite cable.

Internet

The N95 has built-in WiFi, with which it can access the Internet (through a 802.11b/g wireless network). The N95 can also connect to the Internet through a carrier packet data network such as UMTS, HSDPA, or EDGE. The web browser displays full web pages as opposed to simplified pages as on most other phones. Web pages may be viewed in portrait or landscape mode and automatic zooming is supported. The N95 also has Bluetooth built in and works with wireless earpieces that use Bluetooth 2.0 technology and for file transfer. It should be noted that the N95 does not support US based versions of UMTS/HSDPA; UMTS features in the US versions of this phone are disabled by default (but can be reactivated if needed). The phone can also act as a WAN access point allowing a tethered PC access to a carrier's packet data network. VoIP software and functionality is also included with the phone (though some carriers have opted to remove this feature).
