It would be quite easy to make mint toothpaste without this effect – it’s more to satisfy the consumers’ belief that if a toothpaste doesn’t foam, it isn’t working.

I have a N95-1GB and I love it. Reasons why.

The firmware updates from Nokia have polished this thing until it gleams. The 8GB model hasn’t had the same amount of love so far and remains a bit buggy.

The expansion slot means you can upgrade it way past 8gb. 16gb cards apparently exist for it and I believe 32gb is on the way.

DIVX playback works via official Divx player and you can play videos encoded for pc on the device itself. The “pay-for” Coreplayer apparently is even better.

There are a ton of community apps which offer additional functionality which is quite nice as well.

Main downside is the battery life. Make sure you get one with the newer higher capacity battery. I have a 850ma battery which doesn’t last much more than a day. In fact, if I use 3g and the gps for any length of time, it won’t last the day.

Big + for the 8gb model is DLNA support for UPNP. It means you can browse and play video the same way a PS3 is able to do it from a network share on a pc (example Mediatomb or MythTV).

Remember the uber N96 is just around the corner!
