Here is how to tell if your buying a real Nokia N95 or a FAKE copy which is much less quality there are a few different versions of the fake made by CCET Nokla or China Mobile Company

Basicly the real N95 will have Symbian, 3G, Edge, GPS, Wireless Lan, 5MP Camers the fake wont it will have only GPRS the camera will be less than 5MP so the camera sensor and lenses will be smaller sometimes the fake even has a VGA camera also look at the LED for the flashlight it will be smaller on the fake and bigger on the real one.
                                                                              
FAKE PHONE SMALLER LED VGA OR UP TO 3MP CAMERA           REAL PHONE 5MP CAMERA LARGER LED
Also look at the menu it is different on the fake one and there will be no Nokia Maps application

REALN95 MENU       FAKE N95 MENU
SEE THE DIFFERENCE DIFFERENT ICONS THE FAKE DOSE NOT HAVE THE MAPS APPLICATION
Check where is it made if it is made in china then it's a fake as nokia make phones in Europe

See the buttons on the Real one and this fake one seen on ebay the buttons on the fake are different

The fake dose not have the menu and shortcut buttons next to the center key pad but some of the fakes do have these buttons
The real one slides the other way to reveal music keys some of the fakes wont

Battery check the battery it will be different the fake battery will be made in china the real one will have a different label on it and made in China Germany or Hungry all batteries are made in Europe Photos show a real battery first and a fake one 2nd the third one is a white battery which fakes sometimes have

The real one has the Nokia Logo and a different hologram the Nokia logo is on the front and the back the fake dose not have a logo

Manuel the manual that comes with the phone will be a copy and have pages missing and might even be for a different phone

Also on a real N95 you can turn on the phone and use it without a sim card as a camera sat nav and Internet using wireless lan but you cant make phone calls or send texts but on the fake you can't turn it on without a sim card in it wont load up

The startup sounds will be different you get difference in ths style of sounds and the fake will have extra sounds when you turn on


TO SUM IT UP
When buying a Nokia N95 ask the seller for a photo of the phone turned on and a photo of the menu if he will not ask for proof thats it's not fake look at the led at the back should be big on the real also check the buttons layout as seen above

Hope you get a real phone
