Nokia N95 review: The 2007 two-way-slider Symbian powerhouse that did everything before the iPhone.
The do-everything phone before the iPhone.
The N95 was the high-water mark of pre-iPhone Nokia — GPS, Wi-Fi, a 5 MP Carl Zeiss camera and stereo speakers in a two-way slider. It crammed in every feature imaginable, and for a moment it was the most capable phone on earth.
