'Ship Me!' says the Nokia N95 8GB

The stunning Nokia N95 8GB made its debut global shipments today (15.10.2007), and will be hitting a store near you soon. The Nokia N95 8GB is the memory-packed big brother of the Nokia N95 multimedia computer.

Nokia has given the N95 8GB a sexy new semi-gloss black color scheme that adds a touch of class to the look. Cosmetic changes extend to other places as well, with the menu and multimedia keys being significantly thinner than on the original, though not so much as to make them hard to press. The upside of this is that the two softkeys are a little fatter, and thankfully the d-pad itself is no smaller. The multimedia keys on the top of the device are now more pronounced as well. To make way for the larger 2.8" display, the lip between the two halves of the slide is gone, giving the phone a slightly sleeker look, and Nokia has made the questionable decision of removing the camera lens cover - though this allows the manufacturer to include a 250mAh larger capacity battery, something it sorely needed. The handset also includes 128MB of RAM for running applications, almost twice that of the original N95. That change alone made a noticeable difference in the responsiveness of the user interface.

Boasting up to eight gigabytes of built-in memory, the Nokia N95 8GB has all the key features of its predecessor, including a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, built-in A-GPS, WLAN, HSDPA and an innovative 2-way slide. The sleek black N95 8GB also boasts a luminous 2.8" (240 x 320) QVGA display, so watching videos, browsing the Internet or viewing maps is a real pleasure. With its expanded memory, the N95 8GB offers up to 20 hours of video or up to 6000 songs*.

Entertaining yourself has taken on a whole new meaning with this multimedia computer, optimized for enjoying videos, playing games, or even locating your favorite destinations with A-GPS.

The ideal companion for any lull in your day, the Nokia N95 8GB supports services like Nokia Music Store and N-Gage Games**, so you can delve into a world of leisure. Access millions of music tracks from the Nokia Music Store or get a sneak-peak at N-Gage gaming - live later this year. Test out games like FIFA 2007 and Asphalt 3: Street Rules***. Once N-Gage goes live, you'll be able to try games for free before deciding on your purchase.

Now with A-GPS, Nokia N95 8GB connoisseurs can whiz to their locations on Nokia Maps faster and enjoy maps for over 150 countries. Explore the world, find specific routes or locate services such as restaurants and hotels, covering more than 15 million points of interest.
