Nokia Upgrades N95 Smartphone’s Memory to 8GB
Nokia has disclosed its plan at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to make available an 8-Gbyte version of its multimedia N95 smartphone in the United States.
The phone is also planned to support HSDPA (high speed data packet access) cellular technology, which is capable of achieving speeds of between 8 and 10 Mbps.That means the phone will be compatible with AT&T's high-speed network, but it won't work with Verizon Wireless or Sprint since they use different cellular technology.
The new Nokia N95 8GB features 8GB flash drive and a larger 2.8 inch QVGA display with 16 million colors, more RAM and support for the N-Gage gaming service.
Nokia called the new N95 “the memory-packed big brother” to the original phone, taking into account that the new phone’s expanded memory offers users the possibility to store up to 20 hours of video or 6,000 songs, for example.
Other specs include an incorporated GPS receiver with preloaded maps of more than 150 countries, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth2.0 and 5- mega pixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. The smart phone is based on the Symbian S60 3rd edition software and supports Nokia Share Online 3.0 for customers to upload photos and videos on Flickr or VOX.
For better functionality, the N95 slides two ways. It slides to one side to reveal a keypad for dialing and typing, and to another side to reveal controls for playing music or video.
The Nokia N95 8GB mobile phone has an estimated retail price of USD 749. It is expected to start shipping to Nokia Nseries retailers across the US, the Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago, as well as online e-tailers in the first quarter of 2008 as an unlocked device.
