Gsmarena has reviewed the Nokia E61i cell phone and they write, “Well, as our opinion goes, the camera doesn’t really throw the E61i into a different market niche – it can surely earn it some new rivals, but in the end, it remains the second attempt of Nokia at the messenger form factor. It’s always been an increasingly competitive market and Nokia have done their best to make it tougher for the competition.

So getting back to that itching question of all you E61 owners – should I swap mine of E61i or not, we guess that you’ve already found your answer when you bought your Nokia messenger without a camera. The E61i surely offers some really nice upgrades over E61, but considering the probable cost of dumping your used E61 and getting the E61i really doesn’t makes sense.”

InfoSync has reviewed the Nokia N75 multimedia phone and they write, “Had Nokia originally positioned this phone as the low-end N-series model, we wouldn’t have been so inclined to compare it to the N95, a phone that recently impressed us a great deal. It has some good calling and messaging features, and the Symbian OS has a wide range of available apps, but the phone disappoints in areas where N-series phones usually shine, especially with its camera. The phone has some nice smartphone features built in, but at $200 on AT&T, we can’t see this phone as a competitor on AT&T’s 3G lineup. The BlackJack is $50 less, and the RAZR V3xx is a quarter of the price. Hopefully, AT&T will start selling (and subsidizing) the N95, and maybe add a local 3G band for good measure.”

3G reviews the Nokia N93 and writes, “Whatever Nokia call the N93i, I call the 2006 version the N93 and the 2007 version the N93i. The sheer bulk of these will limit their appeal to mainstream buyers. Ultimately, I feel Nokia has designed the N93i to look more like a camera / camcorder and I see Nokia using the N93i experience as a stepping stone to move nearer to this goal in the future. It’s probably in the final stages of design at Nokia’s design HQ, as I write.

The N93i has plus and negative points over the N93. The one clear factor which would trigger a buying decision for either N93s is its video recording ability.

The N93i looks and feels better but maybe not like a mobile phone. But hey, that’s the whole point of the NSeries - to pack as many features as possible into one device and for Nokia to show off / trailblaze. We found the photo taking and video taking capability of the N93i slightly downgraded when compared to the N93. Of course, in the mobile phone arena, no other mobile phone can challenge it’s video capabilities, but in the photo stakes there are quite a few which will overrun it.

The N93i had more appeal prior to the arrival of the N95 which has caused a stampede of excitement.”

DigitalLifestyles has produced a 3 part review of the Nokia N95 and writes, “First impressions are those borne of frustration. Yes the N95 looks pretty, yes the sliding facia works nicely to expose either the numeric keypad or the media keys depending on if you slide it up or down, but: Everything Is Slow. Slow to open the funky animated menu, slow to access contacts, slow to access the Internet.”

RegHardware has reviewed the Nokia N95 and writes, “It’s the gadget fan’s ultimate phone: it does absolutely everything and does it well. It’s not as good as standalone devices, but at least it saves you carrying five bits of kit around. Nokia has produced a handset that doesn’t compromise on size or functionality, and for once avoids the unnecessary irritations that have spoiled past N series phones. Only the price - high - and the battery life - low - are bothersome.”

Xyzcomputing has reviewed the Nokia N80 and they write, “With a laundry list of features it would have been understandable if a few items performed in a really sub-par way. Just about every feature performs at or above expectations, making the N80 a powerhouse of multimedia features.

To me the N80 is a great example of what could have been. It has an impressive set of multimedia features from WiFi to the 3MP camera, what it lacks though is a sleek and appealing form factor. I’d almost go so far as to say it lacks an effective and functional form factor, but I’m having a good day…

So if you’re someone that who’s naïve enough to believe “it’s what on the inside that counts” the N80 is perfect the phone for you.”

Gsmarena reviews the Nokia E65 and writes, “Were you looking forward to purchasing the new Nokia E65 as soon as it appeared in the Internet stores? Poor you … The phone doesn’t differ much from its forerunners, and especially from Nokia E60. It is not even worth mentioning that newly implemented applications can easily be installed in older Nokia models thanks to Nokia’s liberal approach. All in all, our expectations of more innovations have not been met. What might make Nokia E65 a successfully selling phone is its solid construction, elegant design and the slider form factor.

In any case one thing is for sure: by choosing Nokia E65 you get a high-class elegant office helper together with all pros and cons of a Nokia – Symbian cooperation. “

TrustedReviews has reviewed the Nokia N95 and writes, “The N95 is certainly packed with features, but more isn’t necessarily better. The phone is large, its software seemed to run a bit slow at times, the build quality is not that good, battery life is poor and the GPS antenna was not as efficient as some. On contract it might be attractive, but SIM free it’s vastly overpriced.”

RegHardware reviews the Nokia N93 and conclude - “The N93i seems to have a bit of an identity crisis - it’s a bit on the big side for a phone and as camcorder it’s adequate but no replacement for a dedicated model. It’s also a bit awkward to use at times, and the twisting, turning design feels a little over complicated. It’s pricey - £200 with a contract, £550 without - but it’s packed to rafters with features. But turn too many on at any one time and the battery life will suffer.”

Pocket-lint has reviewed the Nokia N95 and writes, “So should you embrace convergence? The Nokia N95 is a very nice if not muddled at times piece of kit, still bar the lack of a QWERTY keyboard this is still one of the best smartphones available today.”
