Keep firmware/source differences explicit. |
| Battery and charging | ||
| Battery | – | 1,200 mAh |
| Video playback (maker's claim) | – | Up to 2.5 hours |
| Wireless charging | None | None |
| Battery life detail | Removable BL-5F in both production tests, described as 1000 mAh. An exact maker capacity specification was not recovered, so no headline capacity set. PhoneArena measures 4 hours 15 minutes of talk in its conditions; GSMArena/MobilMania reports four to five days on GSM. These are different workloads, not playback or universal endurance claims. | Removable BL-6F; 1200 mAh reported independently in original All About Symbian and GSMArena tests. Asia maker datasheet claims up to 5 hours GSM or 3.5 hours WCDMA talk, 11.5 days standby, 2.5 hours video playback and 10 hours gaming. GSMArena quotes different advertised 6-hour/280-hour figures; retain regional/source conditions. |
| Wired charging | Separate charger connector. Exact issue 2 guide lists AC-3, AC-4 and AC-5, plus specified older chargers through CA-44. The GSMArena/MobilMania test confirms no charging through the computer data port; no wattage published in the maker guide. | Dedicated Nokia charging connector; Asia package lists AC-5 charger. mini-USB does not charge the phone, as tested by GSMArena. Charging wattage unpublished. |

Exact maker dimensions were not recovered and review precision is explicitly attributed. | 99 × 53 × 21 mm maximum, 128 g, Black finish; exact Asia maker datasheet gives volume 96 cc, while GSMArena quotes 95 cc. Two-way slide exposes numeric keypad or media controls. |
| Materials | Mechanical numeric-keypad slider; textured plastic rear cover resembling leather in the GSMArena/MobilMania test. This is not a folding or flexible-display phone. | – |

| Release detail | Nokia's 12 February 2007 announcement confirms already available in selected markets, with broader first-quarter availability. Month precision retained; the statement does not establish a worldwide first-sale day. No unsupported predecessor relation. | Nokia announces first global shipments on 15 October 2007 and says retail arrival is forthcoming; this is not a confirmed first on-sale day. Release retains year precision. The maker explicitly calls original N95 its predecessor. European/Asian RM-320 is distinct from later North American variants; exact archived product/support/library destinations remain inaccessible in this source pass. |
| In the box | GSMArena/MobilMania's tested package includes AC-4 charger, battery, software CD, owner guide, CA-53 USB cable, HS-5 mono headset and CP-18 pouch; no memory card or stereo headset. Regional contents may differ. | – |
| Connectivity | ||
| Mobile network | GSM/EDGE and UMTS in the exact owner guide. PhoneArena's tested model supports quad-band GSM and UMTS 2100 MHz; no HSDPA or American UMTS support inferred. | Original European/Asian N95-2/RM-320: GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA/HSDPA 2100 MHz in exact Asia datasheet. Packet-data row uses ambiguous UL/DL units (384/3.6 MB); no byte-per-second interpretation inferred. The 2009 issue-4 RM-320 guide additionally claims UMTS 900, while another EN-US mirror combines RM-320 declaration with 850/1900 bands; those inconsistencies are not treated as extra verified radio hardware. |
| Wi-Fi | IEEE 802.11b/g in PhoneArena's exact production test; maker guide describes WLAN and internet calling | IEEE 802.11b/g with UPnP sharing; exact issue-4 guide documents infrastructure/ad-hoc operation and WEP/WPA/802.1x security. Actual network compatibility applies. |
| Bluetooth | Bluetooth 1.2 without multimedia stereo profiles in PhoneArena's exact-model review; not copied from the E66's Bluetooth 2.0/A2DP specification | Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP stereo audio. Exact guide lists AVRCP, imaging/printing, dial-up networking, file transfer, hands-free/headset, HID, object push, SIM access and synchronisation profiles. |
| USB | Nokia Pop-Port data/accessory connector with CA-53 USB cable; PC Suite and memory-card mass-storage modes. Infrared and separate charger connector. No standard 2.5/3.5 mm headset socket or micro-USB port in the production tests. | mini-USB, USB 2.0 and mass-storage support, exact maker datasheet. Owner guide documents PC Suite, Data transfer, Image print and Media player modes. Infrared is also provided; no USB high-speed transfer figure inferred. |
| Positioning | No built-in GPS receiver; software supports a compatible external Bluetooth GPS module in the GSMArena/MobilMania review. Historical services are not promised available today. | Integrated GPS and A-GPS confirmed at shipping launch; Nokia Maps and optional paid navigation functions. Historical map, music, online-video and N-Gage services are not promised to operate today. |
