Has Nokia Raised the Smartphone Benchmark with its N95?
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.
