The Nokia N95 runs on a Symbian S60 3rd Edition O/S that includes a web browser, email client, multimedia capabilities (photo/video/music), and GPS mapping. It features a 2.6" or 2.8" display (depending on version), integrated GPS, and a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss digital camera. It is packaged in a slick slider design, with the numeric keys sliding out from one end and the multimedia controls from the other.
