Well if you liked the N95 8gb, why not just try the N95-3? The differences between the two really are only minor (IMO)
what i'm trying to do is get a phone right now that won't get outdated in the next 3-6 months... meaning that i want to have a phone with HSDPA for America or other new features so that i can use it when US launches 3G for tmobile...
i'm sorry to say that i got a chance to play with the N95 at the wirelesstoys store and am not impressed with the keypad at all. my finger kept sliding to the key above or below while trying to push the button... anyone use the bluetooth keyboard with it or whats the alternative? the features on the phone surpassed anyother tho...
You'll get used to it. It's actually much better to use than most other keypads out there, believe it or not. Only on the N95 have I been able to get up to 70 WPM. I've never had speed like that with any other phone keypad, and I've used them all.
As for trying to get a phone that's not outdated, you're going to be waiting a while for a flagship Nokia with 1700 for 3G. There's barely anything announced for that frequency as it is, much less an S60 device. For what's available now, buying the N95-3 or the current 8gb will hold you over easily for the next 6 months if you're not planning on switching carriers. I bought the N95-3 for the 3G, but I still haven't brought myself to switch to AT&T. I am just really happy with T Mobile's service I guess.
The bottom line is that you should strike while the iron's hot. If you keep waiting for technology to get better, you'll never buy anything.
i sold my bberry curve last week thru craigslist and was rockin an old nokia in the meantime while waiting for the n95... now that this story is over with, i still needed a decent phone to rock that i don't feel ashmed to pull out in public.. well check this out...
i was at compusa last night just looking at all the closeout items as they are going out of business and i came across their cell phone kiosk. u wont believe this but i picked up a brand new sealed in the box motorola razr 2 v8 for tmobile for only $239.99! this phone i know retails for about $349.99 or somthing... i've been playing with it all day... and all i can say is WOW... i'm impressed! i didn't expect this phone to be that feature rich... i guess i'll rock this for a lil bit till i find a good nokia and sell it right back at my cost...
As soon as I get the rest of the information about the NAM 8gb, I'll update the original post. Everything I've read thus far indicates that it also carries the -2 number just like the original, in which case no guide will protect any forum from N95 newb threads.

I just ordered my "Nokia N95 8GB Black (Unlocked)" from the Nokia web site. I even paid for overnight shipping, but my order is pending 'awaiting customer contact'. sheez, i was really looking forward to having this phone early in the week.
i'm not sure why i'm drawn to the n95. i'm not dissatisfied with my iphone. i respond to more emails during work on my iphone than i do on my computer!
So what are you, Apple fanboy, doing here in the S60 forums?

Where's the limited red US N95?
Also the resolution on the n95 8GB is less than the US N95 and Original.
143 dpi vs 153 dpi
They both use the same 320 x 240 pixel screens, though.
Does the N95 US have the screen brighter than the n95-2 or are they the same brightness.
The red one is already on the list. There's no US version of it, or at least, not a US version that uses US 3G. Only a Euro import, if anything. X1387 is selling them, so if anything, it's probably an APAC release.
Of course the DPI is different. QVGA on a 2.6" screen will yield a different DPI than QVGA on a 2.8" screen. That's just math. As far as brightness, the only screen I remember reading was brighter was the 8gb. The -1 and -3 both use the same screen hardware.

Yes, but I also currently own seven S60s, too. It's all in good fun.
