As a geek, the N95 was very amazing at the time:

1. Multitasking!!

2. Good maps app

3. 3G

4. SIP client

5. All the music you would ever need through Rhapsody

These came years, sometimes many years, to other mobile platforms. The downside with the N95 was the lack or touchscreen and the crappy crappy Symbian UI.

But in 2007, I could stream music from a subscription service while using mapping to navigate, then take a SIP call.
