RSSNokia Begins Shipments of N95 in US
By the Betanews Staff | Published April 9, 2007, 3:29 PM
Nokia said Monday that it had begun selling the highly anticipated N95 candy-bar slider phone in the United States, with the handset initially available through Nokia's flagship stores and select wireless retailers. The phone has integrated GPS functionality, 5-megapixel camera, and support for high-speed HSDPA networks, and will retail for $749 USD before any carrier subsidies.
Nokia said it began selling the phone on Saturday and many of those who arrived for the phone had been on the waiting list for several months. "We are now able to respond to consumer demand by selling the desirable Nokia N95 with a full US warranty and localized customer support, and with customers driving in all the way from Delaware and Massachusetts; we know this is the right way to go," Nokia Americas retail chief Winston Wright said.

|Ouch - read the Mobileburn.com review - battery life really cripples this phone. Apparently with moderate use it will struggle to make it through one day! Pretty piss-poor! Only 3-4 hours GPS too: useless to me. :P
Pretty features - now they need to whack on a pretty battery! Oh, and a believable price-tag: there's cheaper PDAs.

|Nokia phones are the best overall but the carriers cripple them so badly you might as well be talking on a bannana.
And enough with the links to non-English sites, OK?

|The UI?
I'm interested in battery life with GPS - most phones I've seen with GPS capability only have 5 hours of runtime with GPS enabled. :(

|The look of the phone, the ui, the button layout, the functions. In the age of, dare I say it? the 'iphone'...why bother to release this here?...especially at the astonishing price. People will buy it no doubt. I can think of several devices otherwise...the new treo, any WM6 phone, the dash too!, the new smart devices, eg. HTC's s*** and advantage, even some of the cheap so-called 'free' phones /w contract out there have many of the features of this phone and a much better look. And ofcourse the iphone in a league of it's own, if only it wasn't locked to cingular. For $900, I wouldn't invest in this, but that's just me. Maybe it's a Nokiaphile thing. The features aren't horrible, don't get me wrong - but it's like they took the engine from a 2005 BMW 5 series and threw it into a 2003 VW, and then released it in 2007. For $900 pretty it up a bit and give it some tricks damnit.
