First impressions? It looks much nicer in person, very, very schmexy, shiiiiiiny piano black and gun metal soft keys. Keypad lights, as well as music keys are in a smart contrasting white.
Slide is very solid in either directions. Multimedia keys are raised and provide a much improved ‘bounciness’.
The softkeys, although shrunk down a bit, are still comfortable. Multimedia and main menu keys are also raised, as opposed to being flat in the original.
Position of ports/speakers are all identical to the original N95, except for the lack of a memory card door and slot as there is none. Although more or less identical in shape, the N95 8GB can be placed on its side for timed photos much more easily, a feat the N95 could do only by sliding open the keypad.
Battery cover has lost that stupid flimsy catch that users have reported to snapping thus making the battery cover either less effective or useless. Now it uses these thick short stubs to keep the battery cover in place, less prone to snapping even if you attempted to break it.
Both original and 8GB version are listed as 21mm thick, with the N95 being marginally thicker overall as it’s completely flat at 21mm whereas the original is mainly 20mm except for the protruding camera. The N95 8GB looks much thicker than it is because of the uniform black look. The original N95 is two tone and so the last 3.5mm are separated by the silver front, conversely making it appear slimmer than it is.
