Say Hello to the US Nokia N95, Says Symbian
Here's the meat of a recent press release put out by Symbian:
This new Nokia N95 offers North American 3G/HSDPA/UMTS compatibility while retaining all the award-winning functionality of the existing nokia n95. In addition, a number of new product upgrades have been added including: assisted GPS (A-GPS) for faster navigational fixes, 124MB of RAM to complement the included 1GB microSD memory card and the 160MB internal memory, and a higher capacity battery for extended operating time.
The Nokia N95 is expected to start shipping in September to a growing number of independent retailers in major markets including New York, Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco, as well as the Nokia Flagship Stores in New York and Chicago.
The Nokia N95 will also be available from Nokia's online store (www.nseries.com) and multiple online retailers with an estimated retail price of $699.
Wow. Something tells me that Symbian makers are uniting behind Nokia's flagship. Ostensibly because the Nokia N95 is the stalwart against a certain upstart's touch-driven smartphone.
If Nokia really is serious about its multi-million dollar commitment to the US, may I suggest they push for more service operator subsidies?

Don’t you think it’s a little bit late since iPhone has started?
