What I’ve got here is the Nokia N95 8GB with the latest version 15.0.015, it’s fast, there’s plenty of RAM and hey it even has Flas Lite 3 support to view Youtube sites. “So what’s problem?” is something that you’re probably asking yourself right now. Have a look at this short video clip and you’ll quickly see what I’m talking about.

As you can see the Gallery takes no less than 18 seconds to open up after a fresh boot. You would expect that opening and than closing the app would have some implications as to how fast it will open up the next time, but closing the app and opening it again takes the same 18 seconds. This is a bit sad considering that the N95 8GB takes the same amount of time to boot up, as shown here in this video clip! An app that takes as time much to open up as the device takes to bootup? Looking at a similar device with similar specs like the N82 shows that it opens up the gallery a lot faster, how come? Imaging is an important part of the N95 8 Gigger and it’s for this reason it’s easy to see that the Gallery is going to be accessed a lot, so I’m hoping this issue gets the necessary attention and is fixed in the next firmware update.

The next issue is something I believe is easily fixed and is not something that affects only the N95 8GB but every single 3.5mm jack equiped Nseries. Accidentally pullling out your earphones will result in the music blasting away through the built-in speakers and we all know how loud the N95 8GB can be. This can lead to some awkward situations where your sitting in a place where silence is required like the waiting room at the hospital or a library and the earphones are accidentally pulled and the rest, well, you know what happens. How about the phone asking me if I would like to play the music through the built-in speaker?
