How to refurbish Nokia N95 8GB

The Nokia G22 and its repairability reminded me of the good old days when it was normal to completely disassemble your phone to replace a few parts or make it flip or slide. The first modification I ever made to a phone was to replace the covers for the Nokia 3310 (it might as well be the 3210). Later I remembered ordering smaller aluminium antennas for the Motorola V525, and later I got a set of Torx screws to take apart the Nokia N70, N95, etc.

I have a broken Nokia N95 8GB at home that I dropped in the ocean, and a big wish was to be able to repair it. I definitely need a replacement Nokia N95, and also a good video tutorial on how to do it. I just stumbled across a great video that shows how a guy turns two devices into a fully functional refurbished Nokia N95 8GB. The video is definitely a must-watch for anyone who has ever owned a Nokia N95. It’s also a nice relaxing video if you stayed home tonight.

Not a day goes by that I do not wish I could get a modern version of this beautiful phone. HMD Global was actually planning to launch a modern Nokia N95, which Mr. Mobile tested, but that was a gigantic phone that would probably be a flop in the market. I would like to see this phone format reintroduced but with a larger (AMOLED) screen and a powerful camera. Man, that would be a hit.
