Nokia N95 for North America: get it September for $699

Bet you didn't see that coming, did you? The shock of a real, honest-to-goodness N95 with North American 3G bands becoming reality (sorry, T-Mobile, not you!) is still wearing off, and now the company's spouting off about a September release for the darned thing. As we found in our hands-on, this particular variant of the S60 superphone gets tweaked just a bit from the original -- though not as much as the bigger-screened N95 8GB -- offering a redesigned, recessed camera lens (sans protective cover), twice the RAM, dimpled music control keys, and re-upped battery capacity. Nokia claims this very special version of the N95 was made in part because it's been "extremely pleased" with response to the European N95 in these parts -- so to everyone with an N95 in your pocket right now, thanks! As we mentioned, grab it starting next month through a variety of online retailers plus Nokia's flagship stores in New York and Chicago for $699.

That will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

Good Lord Almighty that's expensive!

But I'd still rather pay $700 for this than $600 for an iHype er I mean iPhone. At least it will have friggen 3G!

The iPhone "will have" 3G someday too.

Elgee02, I actually agree with you. This phone blows the iPhone out of the water, in terms of features.

BTW, do you know anything about VZW's LG VX10000? It sounds hott!

Besides looking at the specs provided by the retailer, how would I know that I am buying the new n95 and not the old one? I mean, after all, they are both called the n95?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 30th 2007 9:15AM]

Well for one, the back of the phone is black...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 30th 2007 9:35AM]

N95 will have some nice confusion theres N95, N95 usa, N95 8 gig(music) and little birds are telling about N95i....

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 30th 2007 6:39PM]

Why is that so hard?
I mean, there's two different models of iPhone but no-one would ever complain about that.

As for the N95i, wasn't that just tossed around as a potential name for the US variant or the 8GB model?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 30th 2007 11:46AM]

Yeah better product sheet please.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 30th 2007 3:14PM]

Yeah really!

So...what is Nokia gonna do for the N95 guinea pigs that bought the european version for their north american test?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 26th 2007 7:51PM]
