Best Cell Phone with Radio

Nokia's N95, the subject of this review, takes the capabilities of a mobile phone to a new level. The N95 has a beautiful physical design that is rock solid in construction. The music player application is very fully featured and is compatible with most major music file formats. The keys are very stiff and located even lower on the slider than on the N80, which makes them a bit of a tough reach for somebody with large hands. The version of the Nokia S60 user interface on the N95 is very matu... *

The bottom line:
The North American Edition of the Nokia N95 brings some notable additions, including 3G support and better performance, to make this powerful smart phone even better. However, it'll still leave a deep gouge in your wallet.

Sure, the N95 is a perfectly fine phone, but that's not why it's so expensive. For such a groundbreaking device, the N95's looks, at first glance, are that of an ordinary Nokia slider phone. Voice quality was good through both an HSDPA-capable AT&T SIM card and a T-Mobile SIM. The quad-band N95 gets very good reception on both Cingular's and T-Mobile's networks. *

Nokia N95's glamorous presence along with the latest bunch of cameraphones marks the beginning of difficult times for common small compact cameras. N82 is a highly sought after device, and we are more than happy to have finally laid our greasy hands on it. Picture quality is very good. Videos maximum length only depends on the available free memory. Videos look brilliant both on the phone display and on a TV screen. *

If you have ever read a phone review and thought: "That phone would be perfect if it only had . . . ," the N95 is the phone for you. It does everything, and nothing poorly. It is a top-notch GPS phone, camera phone, media phone and just plain phone. It has a fantastic screen, and if its processor is sluggish opening and closing apps, its graphical power makes up for the lag with a classy, modern interface. Nice touches, like a 3.5mm headphone jack and very loud stereo speakers, are more than ...

The Symbian smart phone also features integrated GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and an innovative two-way slider design. Nokia N95 is a compact and an attractive phone. It feels comfortable to hold, and the soft-touch finish on the back of the device makes it easier to grip. The 8GB Nokia N95-4 boasts a larger 2.8-inch display that's great for viewing photos and Web pages. Below the display, you will find a navigation array of two soft keys, Talk and End buttons, shortcuts to the main menu and t... *

It has been quite some time since the Nokia N95 mobile phone was put on the market. During the Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona the successor was already announced: the Nokia N96. In the meantime Nokia have put an 8GB version of the Nokia N95 on the market. After its appearance it turned out that the N95 had some minus points. The battery ran out too quickly, the RAM memory was full in no-time and the GPS navigation wasn't always too precise. . Read our full Nokia N95 8GB review!

Voice quality was pretty good too, and the earpiece volume was adequate. The sound was crisp and bass was more than adequate. This is useful for those who don't want to forget to turn their ringer back on after a meeting or movie. The numerical keypad is set flush with the phones fascia, but each key is slightly convex, giving good feel and separation between keys to allow faster typing. The screen is a really nice QVGA (240 x 320) display, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors. Font... *

The race is on for making cellular telephones as small as possible, and
the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is sprinting towards the finish line. The Nokia 5310's various buttons are arranged in a fashion exceptionally
convenient for one-handed phone-operation. *

The calls are loud and clear on both ends and you will have no problems communicating with this phone. *

The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is a music phone that makes us happy for a number of reasons. This isn't an iPhone competitor, which makes sense, considering the low, $50 price tag. But it is far better than most other on the market, and includes many features that should set the standard. We like the 3.5mm headphone jack, the included 1GB memory card, and the two-stage stereo headphones a microphone. We also liked this phone for regular calling, and found call quality and even its messaging capab...

At the Nokia press conference held in London, alongside the introduction of Ovi, the door to Nokia's new Internet services, Nokia unveiled the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic mobile phone specifically optimized for entertainment, music and games. The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic device offers dedicated music or gaming keys, expanded memory, large LCD screen and extended battery performance to provide quick and easy access to entertainment content.

The voice quality is very good on both incoming and outgoing ends, and the volume is very loud through the earpiece and the excellent loudspeaker. The sound quality is very good through the headset and the FM radio application will automatically find your local stations, save your favorite stations and provide visual radio services. Phone calls are very clear and loud and listening to music is a joy. The 2 megapixel camera on the Nokia 5310 takes good photos with proper color balance and goo... *

The only downside of the camera is the blue haze that many pictures seem to suffer from, which has the effect of greatly lowering visible contrast in many situations. The auto-focus system in the camera is reasonably quick, and it supports a macro mode that allows for true close-up photography. The keypad on the N73 is rather small, and one of the things I like least about the device. The C key's lower right hand corner placement makes it very hard for me to use, as a right handed person. Wh... *

Battery life, at more than 8 hours of talk time, was good for this powerful a phone. Sound through the earpiece is loud and sharp, and the speakerphone is precise and projects well. Images were somewhat underexposed, but more worryingly, we saw a color shift in some of our shots--the colors weren't consistent from shot to shot. The N73's camcorder mode is very good for a cameraphone, but definitely within the category's limited range: It takes 352-by-288 videos at 15 frames per second. The b... *

Falling only marginally short of the image quality produced by its gargantuan N93 sibling, Nokia's N73 is a superb choice for shutterbugs with its excellent picture taking skills, a multitude of sharing options and compact size - but for some strange reason it skimps on memory. The basics have also been looked well after with first-rate calling and solid messaging capabilities under the hood alongside a raft of multimedia and productivity options; whether for pleasure or business, this one's ...

The Nokia N73 offers a high-quality camera phone plus some nice extras in a stylish package, but its sluggish performance keeps us from giving it higher praises.

The bottom line: The Samsung Mythic is an admirable multimedia phone with the added bonus of AT&T Mobile TV.

The Mythic is pretty sharp looking, with a black front panel, a deep ruby-colored back cover with a wave pattern, and plenty of chrome accents all around. Call quality was good overall, with a touch of static in spots and one dropped call during the review period—typical for AT&T where I live. It was easy to follow the movements of individual football players on ESPN, while talking heads in news programs looked natural, and audio was properly in sync. Test photos were sharp, but colors were ... *

The Mythic SGH-A897 is a good choice for those who want all the conveniences of home entertainment available on the go. The music player is easy to use and lets you create playlists, listen in shuffle and repeat modes, and view album art. The display produces excellent color and graphics and is great for viewing multimedia. The touch-screen is very responsive; you can also customize the amount of feedback it gives when you press it. *

Mythic is sleek and weighs around 3.8oz with 4.49in long, 0.5in thick and 2.06in wide. Charger and 3.5mm headset jacks are present at the top of the phone. Even calls over speaker phone were decent itself but with some echoes. Menu pages which are offered are surprising and can be customized. The colors are lively and vivid with sharp graphics. Shortcuts for main menu, phonebook and phone dialer are present at the foot of each home screen. Menu pages are multiple in Mythic where navigation b... *

The 3G action is rattling delightful in the Mythic. The Mythic is smooth and weighs around 3.8oz with 4.49in long, 0.5in fat and 2.06in wide. *
