Any idea what it is going to be on contract? I'm still extremely torn between this phone and an Iphone, but I dont need that much phone in the N95 but I want it because of the fact I would finally have one. I have a e62 right now and its more phone than I need on a daily basis, and the Iphone I want due to not owning an ipod, gahhhhhh the two phones I want and they are out near the same price, but 700$ out of contract is tough.
Don't hold your breath on getting Nokia phones from operators. Nokia will sell their US phones from their flagship stores since they don't have good relations with US operators. In europe these phones cost some +30% more than in states.
Nokia has fat margin on these phones, costs some 300 bucks per phone, selling them out with more than double ;)
See but the "uncrippled" part of it doesnt even really bother me, AT&T Seems to allow you to do bluetooth data transfer and GPS so that isnt messed up, can load your own apps... no fault there, not really losing by subsidizing the N95. I didnt want to pay the 800$ before to import it because it was too much for a phone, now its here in the states and its 700$ with 3G that isnt available in all areas anyway, especially not Wilm NC to my knowledge.
So as a customer I am losing out on this unles I bust my ass to work OT here at VZW and the way our customers are lately? I'd rather just go pickup halo 3 tonight and forget about these insane people.

$700 for an unlocked, uncrippled phone. Yeah, it's a bit steep in price, but it's completely unsubsidized.
