Rumor: Nokia N95 8GB Coming to U.S. Next Month


A couple of months ago, Nokia started the worldwide rollout of an 8GB version of its N95 uber smartphone. Unfortunately, unlike the standard edition of the N95, it isn't compatible with all the cellular-wireless bands—particularly in the UMTS/HSDPA 3G realm—that would make that handset especially useful to North American users.

According to the Internet rumor mill, this may soon change. Brighthand says, for instance, that Nokia is making accidental references to this device. The expected arrival date is February 15, 2008.
In addition to having considerably more internal memory, the N95 8GB also sports a slightly larger display, 2.8-inch at 240 x 320 pixels (QVGA), than its predecessor and better battery life.

To "celebrate" this smartphone's introduction, Nokia is pre-loading the N95 8GB with the movie 'Spider-Man 3' Europe and some Middle Eastern and African markets. As you can see from the picture taken from MobileCityOnline, the North American version may include the movie as well.

Other than the features mentioned above, the Nokia N95 8GB is otherwise the same as the current model: HSDPA 3G, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, and A-GPS.
There's also the same unique two-way slider design that reveals media controls when slid one way and a numeric keypad when moved the other way.

Built-in stereo speakers offer a 3D stereo effect, plus there's a standard 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones, a microSD slot for storage expansion, and mini USB for data transfers. Bluetooth with A2DP allows users to leverage wireless stereo headsets as well.
