The Nokia N95 recently hit the store shelves in Europe, and today Nokia confirmed that they expect to ship the 5-megapixel camera phone in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2007. The price tag will most likely be set to approximately $750 US without a subscription.
We recently previewed the Nokia N95, and found it to be a solid multimedia phone:
While it was hard to stick to Nokia's mantra that their new N-Series are not phones (they're "multimedia computers," according to PR reps), we can't argue with the raw power of the N95. The size of a small slider phone, the screen on the N95 is bright and clear, perfect for the incredibly smooth interface.
GPS features were striking, especially the 3-D mapping. Based on the rendering of the 3-D map, the N95 looks to have some graphical prowess -- at last, a phone that seems capable of true 3-D.
Movies were bright and clear on the QVGA (320x240) screen, though a wide-screen ratio would have prevented the letterbox bars on movies that made them look small.
The N95 sports a 5-megapixel camera and a video recorder capable of VGA (640x480) recording, all of which can be stored on microSD cards, as well as a TV-out port and speedy HSDPA data support.
