The Internet is abuzz with the launch of the
Nokia N95. It is being touted as the "super phone." Has Nokia really created a new category? It definitely has a whole bunch of features that I wish were available in my Windows Mobile smart phone. For starters it has GPS sensor. How long do we have to wait to see that as a standard Windows Mobile smart phone feature. The N95 has a generous 2.6” screen. It has a 5 Mega-pixel, yes a 5 Mega-pixel camera. The amazing thing about the camera is that it features Carl Zeiss lens with
auto-focus. It has TV-out capability to play back the videos directly from the device.
The N95 has Wi-Fi and supports a network protocol called
Mini Map, a feature which is standard on a bunch of Nokia phones
already, but is only available as a Beta in the Windows Mobile world. While many people feel that Apple’s iPhone will offer a big threat to the Windows Mobile world, I feel that it is Nokia that can derail Microsoft’s Windows Mobile. It has the momentum and the ability to innovate. What do you think? Share your thoughts with us.
