It seems Nokia has upgraded the N95 for the US market, taking care of most of the problems that it had faced earlier.

The first is that the thing finally has US 3G. It's 850/1900, so you're cruising on AT&T's HSDPA network at speeds up to 3.6mbps. That's fast.Of course, you can still fall back to EDGE, if you're out of area. Worldwide travelers should know that they did remove the 2100 HSDPA.

Oh and by the way, the BL-6F doesn't get into the old n95s :( . From what they've said the BL-6F needs more space in the battery compartment. If this phone does come out, then it'l be a really bad day for all euro n95 users out there..

Finally they're throwing the US a bone and giving us a leg up over the European market.

Oh well..i guess life's like that...sniff

@ Ed - this phone is not available yet. It is planned to be announced and launched in September sometime. Any N95 that you can purchase right now will not have the correct frequencies for HSDPA in the United States. You will still be able to use it, just not with the super-fast 3G cellular network.

As for the batteries fitting, I don't think you'll be able to sneak the new battery into the older devices, unfortunately, and I don't see a way to retrofit them, specially since the camera module has been changed.

I believe the screensize is the same.

*lol* no camera cover - probably some retarded redneck swallowed it while being on moonshine, died from suffocation and his family sued Nokia.

does anyone know if this is coming out soon? and where did they get these pictures of the phones?

Re: First Live Pics of the US 3G N95 – In Mocha!

Only this N95 was relased in the US? (or was the "classic" one before?)

I want to know: if I go to the US now, and buy a N95, will it be this new? All the Nokia N95 in the US are now that? Or there is a chance to be the "classic"?

Thanks! :)

Glenn, you have a US N95, but it has Euro 3G (2100 band) which is useless in the US. Thus, the fastest data transfer (WiFi aside) is EDGE. This model has US 3G HSDPA on the 850/1900 bands, which is ~10x faster than EDGE.

Dang! I was hoping the new battery would fit on my current N95!

Oh well, can't have it all.

P.s. the design looks pretty sweet, also I personally think it's a good thing getting rid of the camera manual shutter, it was annoying when putting into your back jeans pocket.

Maybe they should have also got rid of the second slide, I don't seem to use it that much..?

Any idea on release/availability?

Re: First Live Pics of the US 3G N95 – In Mocha!

Viipottaja — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 13:01:41 -0000

Oh and some folks are speculating that the screen size has changed. Any comment on that?

Re: First Live Pics of the US 3G N95 – In Mocha!

Viipottaja — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:44:52 -0000

Ricky, I think there are a lot more US N95 owners who are complaining (as far as I can tell e.g. on the Howardforums). Anyway, I absolutely agree: stop whining, this is the nature of the business, and there will be more goodies coming your way, hopefully more so also here in the US in the future! :)

Do you happen to know which one (the original or the US version) is thinner/thicker? There seems to be a bit of confusion on that going around in the various fora.

Re: First Live Pics of the US 3G N95 – In Mocha!

Ricky Cadden — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 10:33:00 -0000

The batteries would not be interchangable because the new battery is obviously thicker, if only by a few millimeters. I also don't think you could easily just swap the whole back cover, based on the change in design.

I think you're pretty much SOL in terms of cramming this new battery into your old device.

I have to agree with kmk, though. I don't see why the Euros are all pissed off, it's not like you guys don't get the best of every other Nokia on the market. Can't let us catch a break once?

Well, after reading a bit on this topic I have following thoughts:

1) Those in EU (and technically compatible markets), who bought the "classic" N95 and now are complaining about being cheated, should be not. When this "updated" N95 is available in US, in Europe Nokia will be already preparing for some totally new phone, which most likely will have both, the new battery and bigger RAM. So this is rather an update for US, so that that market is not totally neglected when some new phones are released in EU.

2) Regarding the battery issue: the covers are not inter-changable between the "classic" and "updated" N95 -- camera's part is different in those phones (I wonder, has it been done on purpose?...). However, since it has already been shown that it is very easy to take off the back part of the "classic" N95's shell, there is no reason for not having a new back part for the "classic" N95. Such that would fit the bigger camera ring, but also have enough room for the new battery (the "updated" N95 is several mm thicker, it is visible on the photos). It even does not have to be produced with Nokia's blessing... After all it's just a piece of plastics, no rocket technology needed to make it. Of course, this is true only if the BL-5F and BL-6F have the same electrical characteristics and differ only in size.

Nice update Ricky. I do wonder though if it should get a bit of a name update though. Just calling it an N95 does seem like a marketign snaffu, considering most in the US and abroad who already know of the N95. Maybe this will be one of the Internet Edition/Music edition themed models or something.

I like the recessed camera, looks a bit classier than camera-eey.

With the increase of RAM (and hopefully support for OTA firmware updating), I could see the N95 really capatilizing on the multimedia computer moniker.
