Nokia N95 8GB MP3 player

The MP3 player is comprehensive and easy to operate thanks to the multimedia keys. Even a newbie will quickly find out how to use the MP3 player of the Nokia N95 8GB. The speakers are of excellent quality and listening to music or the sound of a movie playing is a true joy. The very low tones might cause the speakers to make a slight humming. However; this humming sound coming from the speaker is not disturbing. The music player can be set through an 8 band equalizer.

The battery of the N95 8GB is a 1200mAh Nokia BL-6F battery. According to the specifications the battery offers a standby time of 28 hours and a talk-time of approximately five hours. If you don't do anything else but making calls, these times are correct. If however, you use multimedia functions on a frequent base these times will decrease drastically.
