Oh no! What about those of us that already have a European 3G model! I hope my slightly used N95 still has some resale value on eBay. I 'm disappointed that Nokia would do this to their early adopters. There goes my theory that buying direct from Nokia instead of from a grey-market importer would protect my investment. Good news on Slingplayer, though.

I am trying to make video share work for N95.
I have both (A & B) my phones registered to SIP server. VOIP works fine.

When I call the B from A through 3G , i am unable to locate video share option. It is not in the Options menu.
I have added the SIP uri as per the manual. On the same setup i am able to make video share using two 6680 but not through N95!!!.

Any Ideas??

Thanks for the help

Do you guys know what date this is going to be released? Is it going to be with Tmobile or ATT after all?

I live in India. Here the Nokia customer care dont even acknowledge that there is a slider problem with the current model! No chance of getting any replaced!

I have seen faulty sliders in the shop and came back! This new model wont come in anytime for the next 1 year here!

Nice news!

But where is this pic from? (http://symbianguru.typepad.com/welcome/images/2007/08/09/usn95revised.png)

Not doubting anyone, but i can't find it!
On the nokiausa.com and nseries.com, it still shows the old specs!

Here's to joining the N93 club.. the land of the forgotten Mobile. It's time to hold'em or dump'em guys and gals.. pretty soon our "manual shuttered" N95's are going to be considered gone the way of the Smithsonian. I dare say that I may hold out for
the next model when T-mobile and Nokia get together in 1700/1900/2100 HSDPA goodness. Certain places have the "old" N95 for under $650.. oh well..

"Shutters manually" at the thought of having to use an old mobile.

As usual, Nokia is doing a half-assed job with this.
Why not make it a TRUE WORLD PHONE and keep the HSDPA-2100 and just add the 850/1900 US freq's.
Then I would buy one.
In the mean time I will stick with my Treo 750 which is a true world phone.

Hi Mazor.. I commented near the beginning of the topic about the need for Nokia to unfortunately adopt mass marketing campaigns in the US to compete with other devices. Whilst Nokia is the world leader.. by a HUGE margin, they are currently 3rd in N. America. Educating the masses on the offerings from the likes of Nokia will be an uphill battle unless they work with vendors like ATT, Rogers, T-Mobile etc and begin to have those carries provide the phone. "SIM Free" as the call it overseas or "Unlocked" is always going to be an expensive, niche, option but will only spark casual, temporary interest in the N. American user. (obvious generalisation I know). In a recent trip to the N. Atlantic I saw tons of stores carrying the N73, which I was using at the time ($400+ unlocked was what I paid in the USA). 02, Voda, T-Mobile etc were all offering the phone with a plan. Vendors were literally hanging Nokia gear in the windows and coming into the streets to get your business. Video's in the rail stations and tv commercials were everywhere.. I certainly did not feel like the odd man out. Return to the US.. "Hey.. is that the new pearl?" NOOOO!!! ITS NOT!! ;-) My point is.. like other popular devices.. people in N. America want to know.. have been trained from the time bag phones were cool, that you get your mobile device from the carrier hence the "Who has that phone" questions meaning.. not Nokia, Samsung, Moto.. but Verizon, Sprint, ATT, T-mob etc. Lets just hope that ATT and T-mobile can sort out an agreement to carry the phone, subsidized, and with out bogarting the firmware.. which is THE stupidist thing they can do.

EDGE.. I thought I would mention.. I am getting damn good speed on T-Mobile Edge.. apparently the N95 is a Class 32 Edge device (correct me if Im wrong) so.. depending on the load on your associated cell tower.. you can pull close to 300kbps on the device. Its faster than my E61i, N73, or E61 that I had previous to the N95. Its not 384k or 3.6mb but is plenty to have IM+, Roadsync, an IMAP connection, and a quick google search all at once. Its hell on the battery but I've been successful running all of the above in tandem without memory issues and with adequate speeds.

Again.. fingers crossed for a global device, Quad band GSM, Quad Band UMTS from Nokia with enough ram, a good battery, and a global warranty! Is that really too much to ask?

What about the ear piece noise humming that goes on with the N95. Has Nokia finally fixed this???

Re: US 3G Nokia N95 – HSDPA and a Sling Player

Mazor — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 17:50:59 -0000

snoyt , the 160Mb is ROM, not RAM. The RAM in currnent N95's as we know it is only 64Mb, and that cuased major problems with out of memory errors, etc. The 128Mb upgrade will indeed solve these issues.

Also Why is Nokia calling this new N95, the N95. One would have thought it would be called the N95i!!

The differences are quite substantial to my knowledge, or are they trying to hide the fact that in reality, the N95 should have come with all these upgrades from day one!

Re: US 3G Nokia N95 – HSDPA and a Sling Player

snoyt — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 17:44:22 -0000

Really a whopping 128MB? The european version already has a whopping 160 MB. I guess they shortchanged you US guys ;-)

A redesign of the backcover to add a millimeter or 1.5 to the batterythickness looks like a great idea. I guess it will be available for the other N95 models too. For the heavy daily user it seems a good solution, but for the heavier roadwork I prefere a Li-Ion battpack that kan charge my phone 3x or more...

Please, Please, Please shut the fark up about the iphone.

This is a story about the N95, which is a smartphone and entirely different from the iphone, which is not a smartphone, is closed to third-party applications, and makes you go through the ridiculous routine of emailing stuff to yourself(over EDGE, let's not forget) if you want to save the file.

If "most consumers will choose the iphone", which is far from certain, then great for them. They wouldn't know what to do with a real smartphone anyways.

1. I kindly asked that this not degrade into an Apple vs. Nokia post. Please keep comments relevant.

2. I don't recall retracting any rumors in the past. Please enlighten us.

Ricky Cadden — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:29:25 -0000

I know that Darla's sources are solid, so I'd go with hers. Unfortunately, we don't usually get much clarification, and until it's been officially announced by Nokia, has no official intended release date. I've heard it's going to be ready in Sept., but that could easily just be ready for announcement, who knows. I think, however, it would be safe to assume, for those saving pennies, that you'll see it before 2008 hits us.

Jeremy Thornhill — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:04:03 -0000

Ricky, is there any confirmation of Darla Mack's claim that this won't hit until late Q4? In your previous post you hinted at a September release, so there's some inconsistency there (unless you're just talking about an announcement and she's talking about retail availability).

simply un-freakin'-believable!!! the us is accually going to get a true hsdpa symbian smartphone with ram!!! well i want.that is unless the true p-series sucessor(with tri band hsdpa.like k850) is announced by then, then it would be bye bye to my thoughts of owning my first nokia phone.

N95 just keeps getting better and better. Firstly better firmware for the camera, now increased battery and double the RAM. I think Nokia really has made an effort to iron out all the bugs this time from their N95 flagship device! Kudos Nokia

I would surmise that the 8GB version will have the microsd slot removed to make room for the harddrive. I've only heard several mentions of the 8gb version (apart from the evidence we've all seen) so i don't know for sure.

Re: US 3G Nokia N95 – HSDPA and a Sling Player

pht_b0y — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:33:05 -0000

My guess is that you guys in the 2100mhz world will get a new device faster than we will over here. Although the N. America market /may/ receive this bug fix release, which seems to be a N95 rev B or whatever?, I think you will get its successor, whatever it is.. before we do... I would think that you could also expect a revision for the euro/aspac market at the same time as nothing changes.. based on the specs except the radio frequency. I'm putting my money on the name being N95i, it being black, 128mb memory, New battery, and some form of zeiss lens protection.

Once T-Mobile gets online with UMTS 1700, I think we could see Nokia find justification to pour additional funds into the US market as the two largest GSM carries will have consumers demanding HSDPA. We have to remember that WiMAX is already here in some fashion via Sprint so the GSM carriers can compete.

I really hope to see quad-band UMTS in the next 12-18 months. Qualcomm and Broadcom.. can't we all just get along ;-)

Guess Nokia is gonna go ahead and leave us euro users with a sore head.
I mean after fishing out all that money for a defective phone..they are putting salt on the wound by going along and releasing a far better phone in a different market!!

.. what's the point of the 8gb hard drive when there is an hdsc-micro-sd card slot on the device already? Marketing against that other device comes to mind but otherwise...?
