How can you tease us like this? I had to go on a fit of googling just to see what this this is RUMORED to be. I have to say, if this is as good as I am hearing, I am sold already.

[mparaz]

Now, my N80 is old...

[james c]

Well i'm sold again where can or who can i get one. jc

[S A I R U S ..::]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey there ;)

love the N95 review .. i really think its gonna be the best phone ever . its got everything ..

anyway ..
if its oky with you , can i link to your N95 review on ma blog !!

* keep up the gr8 work ;)

Hi Darla, I have to ask. How did the slide on the N95 feel? Was it sprung or did it lock when it was closed? I know this is a weird question, but I had to get rid of my N80 because it wouldn't stay closed in my pocket. I drove me insane. Thanks...

I got to see the prototype at the NYC Nokia store on Sunday. The sales rep wouldn't let us turn it on to see the screen, but otherwise it was great. It is smaller than my 6682 and a little bit lighter. Brian, since it slides both ways, there is a noticable detent in the closed position. It requires a bit more pressure to open than the N80.

Also, the rep mentioned that if US carrier was interested in the phone for their network, then Nokia would make their branded version work. Now that means, of course, that unbranded N95s would not work with 3G or HSDPA in the US. The big question is, will Cingular buy this phone and open it up for use on their "BroadbandConnect" (HSDPA) network currently aimed at med/large businesses?

Hi Darla. There are a couple of info about N95 which I could not find in the Web yet: 1) How is the battery life (using camera, players, GPS, wi-fi etc)? Charging each 1 or 2 days? 2) How is the flash, compared to N80`s (Is it xenon now, like SE K800?)? 3) Where can I find a list with the 100 countries with GPS maps? 4) Plum and sand colors only? What about silver, like the one announced?
Thanks ins advance!

some say that the nokia price will be €550 but in the shops it will be muc much higher!!!! does any1 know about this?

[Um Design]

Price of the N-N95 will be much higher than 550$. Nokia will sell it for 550$ without VAT. Price will be arround 650-750$ (depends what Country and store).

[Alex]

Thats the most cool phone i ever seen.Ok so the price is 550$ but how much it will be in store.An reply PLZZZ
I want to buy it

[al]

where can i buy it and how much?

[rcfa]

"SIP support - client for VoIP in some timeframe"

The big question here: will that mean an N95 Internet Edition, or will it mean a free software upgrade that owners can download?

Even the N80 had SIP client libraries, but until the Internet Edition that wasn't useful unless one spent extra money for third party software (if one could find any).

I'd hate to spend close to $1k on a phone, yes phone, and then have to peddle it and buy it again just to get SIP support....

[Peter]

The price is at €550. But dont forget to add VAT in your country... Its going to first be released in the UK sometime in mid-feb, then its going to spread to the rest of europe. I have the prototype released from nokia and i must say, its the best phone nokia has ever released and it really is worth the money. There are great features which i cant really say at this time, due to the agreement i have with nokia to conceal infos, but there are amazing technology innovations, especially with the wifi built into it.

To your question, there wont be a N95 internet edition. If you think about it, its got every feature needed for the internet (even the wifi for god sake!) So there will be no point of having a dumb internet edition.

Remember its not a phone, its a multimedia device ;-)

[camera junky]

to Mr rcfa,. question it says VGA Resolution up to 30 frames per second, i persume thats the video recording side of this mobile so wondering please if you know does it record in mpeg4or divx compresion to save space on the memory card, that would sweet and an awesome multimedia device just on that alone :-)

The phone is awesome. I have been comparing phones world-wide. Other than the Apple phone, I find the features on this phone to be very good. I wish it had a QWERTY keyboard available in the phone and VoIP available like the N80. Also, the Apple model will have one model with 4GB of storage. Otherwise, it has everything you could want.

[jheng rosales]

Well, the Nokia N95 certainly, in my point of view, the best phone yet.
Sony Ericsson's Cybershot is excellent, but that averages to about 3.2 meg, for most of them, while now, Nokia has produced a rather surprising 5 meg.
As for the rest... well, the GPS is great. However, 550$ for America is good, but what about Australia? Over here, (I'm Australian), the price for the phone, which comes out in around April, will be priced at a quite large $1100...
But really, this phone would be the phone to be dreaming about!

[Roberto Mabanta, Jr.]

where can I get one? philippines. Is it available here now?
