No one to my knowledge has claimed there were no problems at any time but when you consider this device has sold over 1.5 million the number that have less than perfect devices or problems is actually very small. Although in a perfect world they should all be perfect unfortunately life just isn't that simple.
I have just sold my N95 to Mutleboy and mine has a perfect slider screen and over all construction, it also never suffered from one crash or freeze either. If you doubt my word PM him and he will confirm that even though mine was two months it is indeed perfect.
But then i installed only the apps that i needed to the phone not the memory card and didn't install loads of themes some of which may look nice but may not of been written that well. A lot of problems faced by some users dare i say it are actually the users fault.
In general the N95 is simply the most powerful and advanced Multimedia smart phone available there is nothing out there from any other manufacturer that comes close and if any one knows any different please enlighten me.
On Friday i tried a Z8 which is billed as a Multimedia smart phone and although it has 16million colour screen and the same chip as the N95 couldn't even play the included Bourne Ultimatum Film it's playback was inferior in both quality nad sound to my much older and less powerful E61 which is a business smart phone not Multimedia. The poor salesman in the 02 was stunned and didn't know what to say on comparing the two as the E61 just owned it.

Agreed, my friend also complaint about N95 sub standard slider mechanism. The device costs 700$ and there shouldn't be an excuse. Though there are ones which are perfect, there are too many which arnt. If they can make E65 and 5300 perfect, why not a device which costs 2 times and 4 times more respectively?

because all the money you pay go for the big number of extras inside, come to think of it, imagine N95 had had better materials too, it would cost even more than it is now!  |

No, not really, N95 really costs a lot more than your conventional high-end phone. N93 has exceptional built quality and has nearly the same amount of goodies. Nokia cant make a slider worth a damn and they know it, 6280 and 6270 were terrible phones construction wise. They should really learn something from samsung.

Thats what makes it more inexcusable, if N95 was perfect and the ones you mentioned werent, i could have lived with that. Its their top offering with a below par construction. I just hope the new batches have this problem fixed.

N95- great choics (though still no N80)
Samsung- very poor choice. Chose it on data speed and style only, two things that nobody cares about.

yeah the poor build quality is what lets the N95 and N80 down.

awards such as these should be taken with a pinch of salt anyway. it's just a marketing thing and they don't mean anything.

I dont think EISA is part of Nokia/Samsung marketing department.
