The hardware of N95 was the pinnacle of Nokia engineering. They stuffed lots of new stuff there like A-GPS receiver, accelerometer, 3D-accelerated GPU, lots of flash storage, better camera etc but the Symbian UX was horrible (it was from the beginning but tech feature -driven engineers didn't understand that at all).
N95 had so much of features that nobody used them. They just were happy with all the stuff they never used. Been talking about the subject to lots of people who bought the phone then.
N95 was released the same year Apple demoed iPhone first time. N95 sold really well then. Nokia's old management has told afterwards they were so lulled by the success of N95 they were not worried about iPhone at all. They did N96 which was even more stuffed than N95 but with the same UX flaws.

- trm42 11y agoI would like to have touch-phone with a full QWERTY keyboard. Just like the dev-only Nokia N950 ;-) In hardware design sense it's really well engineered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N950 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N950
