New N95

Decided to copy and paste to the top of the thread)

The facts so far (well just the interesting phones):

N95 8Gb
Same specs as the current N95 apart from the below changes.
- Comes with 128MB ram so we'll get about 90MB free which is about 4.5x bigger of free RAM
- Larger 2.8" Screen but with similar overall dimensions of the phone (same thickness)
- Larger capacity battery - roughly 30% more
- Slightly different slider action, apparently improved and far more solid build.
- New OS navigation - looks slicker but cant be sure until reviewed.
- And obviously 8gb internal memory - but the biggy is No expandable memory (not good)
- N gage platform
- Out in Early Oct
- new Maps sw, faster camera + other improvements here and there
- €560/$761 (I am guessing unsubsidised)


N81/N81 8Gb
- 2 megapixel (1600x1200 pixels) camera, MPEG-4 VGA video capture of up to 15fps
- Wifi, 3g
- New OS navigation
- micro SD slot/8gb internal flash
- ipodesque touch 'wheel' on front (looks great)
- gaming buttons on one end to make use of:
- N gage gaming platform
- 96MB of ram with about 42MB free ram
- Out in Q4 this year
- N81 8Gb (€431/$585) or N81 €360/$490 pre-bunged with a 2GB microSD card

Nokia iphone
- Ipod clone

Hmmmm, is anyone planning to sell their N95 to get the new one? How much are they fetching roughly now?

Quite tempted, not sure which I'd go for. N81 for gaming/looks/size or the N95 8gb for the screen/better battery, a real toughie! If you are going to sell sooner rather than later as the prices will drop as we get nearer to Oct/Q4.

What's this 'unsubstadised?' This doesn't mean we will definitely have to pay £££ for the phone does it?

Unsubsidised is the price of the phone network-free. A phone is subsidised when a network starts offering it with their tariffs so you get it at a lower price.
 
Damn them. I was pretty much sold on getting a HTC Kaiser, but there's no arguing the N95 looks way less nerdy and has everything bar the qwerty keyboard.
 
not so sure - the ability to swap cards is a massive plus for me - wish they had left it as an add-in card instead of taking it internal! Oh well - will have to wait and see when they appear!
 
If the battery life is as good as the average phone and the bugs are ironed out, it might be one i'll get and keep rarther than get and sell next month.
 
Hmmm was thinking of getting a normal N95 this month too, I really need a new phone!

I don't know what to do now.
