Nokia N95 8GB North American Edition hitting Nokia flagship store, online e-tailers this quarter; Could be yours for $749 unlock

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:27:17 +0000

Finally, Nokia used CES as an opportunity to officially confirm what we already know — they will be launching their flagship N95 8GB Symbian S60 based smartphone to the U.S. market. The right HSDPA frequencies (850/1900 MHz) are there, and the device should hit Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago, as well as online e-tailers during this quarter. Want one? Sure you do! Estimated retail price without any contract is $749. Or you could wait for AT&T to pick it up… We hope they will… Full release follows after the break. PRESS RELEASE - With consumer demand for the most advanced wireless devices continuing to rise, Nokia (NYSE:NOK) announced today that it is optimizing the Nokia N95 8GB for networks using 850/1900 MHz HSDPA (high speed data packet access) in the Americas. Combining speed, technology and content - the new Nokia N95 8GB bridges the gap between traditional fixed entertainment centers and portable wireless devices with its stunning 2.8 inch QVGA screen with support for up to 16 million colors, eight gigabytes of built-in memory, A-GPS positioning for improved location access and enhanced battery life. A recent global study commissioned by Nokia, entitled ‘A Glimpse of the Next Episode’, predicts that by 2012, up to 25 percent of all entertainment will be created and consumed within peer communities as opposed to traditional media groups. With this trend dubbed by Nokia as ‘Circular Entertainment’, devices such as the Nokia N95 8GB, which allow the consumer to create, edit and upload content directly to the Internet, will be more important than ever as consumers personalize content and make it their own. “Today’s savvy consumer wants an all in one device that enables them to customize and share content immediately with their social communities. The Nokia N95 8GB fills this void as one of the most advanced wireless devices currently on the market in North America,” said Bill Plummer, Vice President, Go-to-Market, Nokia Americas. “With the addition of HSDPA for ultra-fast connectivity, the Nokia N95 8GB delivers on the promise of a multimedia computer in one surprisingly small package.” The Nokia N95 8GB comes with the advanced feature set expected from a state-of-the-art Nokia Nseries multimedia computer. The new Nokia N95 8GB offers a class-leading five megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and autofocus, WLAN, and a full eight gigabytes of internal memory, allowing for storage of up to 20 hours of video or up to 6000 songs. Complete with captivating 3D graphics, the Nokia N95 8GB will also offer compatibility with the upcoming N-Gage games service. It is also a full-featured GPS device with assisted GPS (A-GPS) and a large map database covering more than 100 countries, including a number of US state maps preloaded. The Nokia N95 8GB will also support Nokia Share Online 3.0, which will be made available via Nokia Download! and will enable consumers to upload photos and videos with one click to Flickr or Vox, allowing them to quickly share content with their social communities. Based on powerful Symbian S60 3rd Edition software, consumers can personalize their Nokia N95 8GB by choosing from a wide selection of advanced mobile applications, including games, navigation, entertainment, productivity and creativity. The Nokia N95 8GB comes out of the box ready to create, connect, consume and interact with some of the Internet’s most popular services including Yahoo! Search, Amazon’s MobiPocket Reader or Flickr. The device also features widget support which enables users to customize the online content they can receive quickly on their Nokia N95 8GB. The N95 8GB multimedia computer has an estimated retail price of $749 and will start shipping to Nokia Nseries retailers across the United States, the Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago as well as online e-tailers during the first quarter of 2008. ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Nokia N95 8GB North American Edition to be announced at 3GSM?Brief: Nokia N95 8GB North American Edition: 100% ConfirmedNokia N95 advertisement shows slightly tweaked designBrief: 2 color variants, Black and White, of the Nokia N82 to be releasedNokia working on 8GB version of N95!

Nokia N95 available in new color

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 10:08:17 +0000

In case you like the Nokia N95, but just couldn’t bare the colors - here’s something that could make you rejoice. Nokia’s earlier (until N95 8GB and N82) flagship smartphone has been spotted in some flavor of red. We’re not sure whether Nokia will push this one as RED label product, but they certainly could do that. Especially now, when most of us desire the 8 gig version and find the old model so last yearish. And in case you’re wondering, no we don’t know when nor where you can buy the red Nokia N95… Check out one more photo after the jump.

Nokia patent application hints at N-series slider with 8 megapixel camera

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:52:36 +0000

Patent applications, be they from Apple, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Microsoft, etc., all have one thing in common - they employ hand-sketched, incredibly vague images that outline their ideas. Well, Nokia’s breaking rank with their newest patent application filing. The image you see below isn’t some poor-quality spy-shot of an N-series slider in Nokia’s pipeline, rather, it’s the image that was included in the patent application wherein Nokia outlines plans to incorporate a swiveling/rotating camera module - much like we saw used in the Nokia 5700 . The idea is that a swiveling camera-module will give users more control over the camera’s “imaging axis.” Right, that makes sense, but the swiveling camera isn’t what piques our interest here. A close look at the patent application’s included images shows what looks like a lower-resolution, grainy spy-shot of a real-life Nokia N-series slider that’s already in the works in Espoo. Even closer inspection reveals what looks like an “8 Megapixel” or “6 Megapixel” branding emblazoned on the camera module. Did someone take the time and effort to sketch a fairly-detailed, if grainy, image of a handset for the sole purpose of including an image in the patent application? We’d put our money on “no.” We’ll likely have to wait until next year, but we won’t be too surprised if Nokia drops an N-series slider with a rotating/swiveling camera module on us.

Video: New Nokia Multimedia Menu

Sat, 17 Nov 2007 12:46:55 +0000

So far you’ve probably heard about the new Nokia Multimedia Menu which is present in the N81 (N81 8GB), N82 and the N85 8GB. You may wondering what’s it all about? Basically it’s Nokia’s way to put your images, videos, games, maps and Internet experience under the single, cool-lookin’ menu. Now, I must add my plug that I would love to see the Finish giant releasing update for all of the existing NSeries S60 3rd edition based devices that would include the new menu. I’m sure other N93 owners (and owners of other older NSeries devices) would agree with me. Anyway, what follows is the short Nokia Multimedia Menu demo video. Enjoy!
