The heralded Nokia N95 North American edition (NAM) already gets props for its multimedia capabilities, most notably its high-end imaging prowess. And, with this latest software update from Nokia, the Nokia N95 NAM (aka Nokia N95-3) gets the same added features and performance gains that its European counterpart (Nokia N95-1) has enjoyed for some time [...]

The boys over at Engadget Mobile spotted this interesting advert on Yahoo! today. Like so many yuppy mid-lifers that have gone under the knife in search of vanity and youth, the Nokia N95 you see pictured here just looks a bit strange. It’s an N95, that much we’re sure of. But, take a look at the edges of the device - they look strangely beveled for some reason. Clicking on the ad takes you to Nokia’s USA Nokia N95 page, so we’re assuming the “8GB expandable memory” claim is referring to the microSD card slot. The Nokia N95 8GB NAM should be an all-black handset without a microSD card slot, so this ad is most likely referring to the already-launched Nokia N95-3. Sloppy advertising aside, what’s with the tweaked look of this Nokia N95-3?

If there’s one thing that gets people riled up more than details on how well the iPhone is selling, it’s news that the iPhone is out-selling the Nokia N95 in Europe. The iPhone clearly outsells these handsets in the US, but Europe has been regarded as a reluctant market for the iPhone, given it’s lack of critical hardware features. We previously mentioned that the iPhone has shown disappointing sales figures in the UK, but it seems that even “ laggard ” iPhones sales on UK’s O2 network are still outselling rivals. In fact, all three European markets are reportedly seeing sales of the iPhone outpacing those of its closest, and highly subsidized, competitors - a group that includes the HTC Touch , LG Prada, Nokia N95, and Nokia’s E-Series handsets. Michael Abramsky, an analyst with RBC Capital, is reporting that iPhone sales in the UK, Germany and France have proven strong. He notes “solid European iPhone momentum,” adding that the “iPhone appears to be an early hit with European Smartphone consumers.” Despite selling only 10,000 iPhones on launch day , many of T-Mobile’s 700 German retail stores are reporting 15-20 iPhone sales per week. France’s Orange Wireless, by far the iPhone’s strongest EU market , has reported that approximately 63,000 customers have registered their interest in the iPhone, with reports of some Orange stores running out of iPhone-stock. Most notably, and sure to draw the ire of Nokia fans (especially those with Nokia N95’s - the author excluded), the iPhone has been outselling the feature-packed Nokia N95 in Europe - which has sold 1 million handsets since its launch in March (not a sluggish seller, to be sure). Keep in mind that the iPhone is still only available in three European markets (at least officially) and has largely been sold on-contract and locked to a particular carrier. All these factors led Mr. Abramsky to raise his previous forecast for Apple to...

Nokia’s on a press junket craze like no other recently. The Nokia N81 , the Nokia N95 8GB Black , all those Nokia accessories, and not to mention the Nokia 5310 and 5610 Xpress Music Phones - it’s a lot in such a short timeframe. We’ve barely had time to process the results of the Nokia GoPlay event in London and we’re getting word that the US-spec Nokia N95 is headed for Yankee shores next month! That’s right folks, the N95 with US-friendly 3G frequency support (850/1900Mhz) is bound for your favorite 3G GSM provider (read: AT&T) Unfortunately, T-Mobile and their 1700Mhz 3G frequency is a definite no-go. We already saw the Nokia N95 US pass through the FCC’s testing regimen , so it was only a matter of time before this beauty hit American airwaves - but who knew it would be mere weeks after all this product launch craziness. For those of you that were patient enough to hold off on pulling the trigger on an unlocked European Nokia N95, you’ll be happy to hear that the US-spec N95 will not only rock its HSDPA radio on US 3G spectrum, but will sport a bumped up battery (up to 1200mAh), 100% more RAM (128MB, up from 64MB), a recessed camera lens to help protect those amazing Carl Zeiss optics. And, don’t forget, the N95 is still packin’ that integrated GPS, WiFi, stereo Bluetooth, and TV-out. Sadly, the 8GB capacity or 2.8 inch screen isn’t in the cards for the US. But, getting the GPS-equipped N95 on US 3G networks is enough for us.

All those people lamenting the lack of US 3G frequency support on the Nokia N95 can rest easy. Our good, old friend, the FCC , has just given the thumbs-up approval for the American version of the Nokia N95. The US-spec N95 will be packin’ the same quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio, 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, GPS, microSD slot, and Symbian S60 platform as it’s European brethren - but with one major difference. This baby will work on the US’s odd-ball 3G frequencies with it’s dual-band 850/1900Mhz WCDMA radio. The FCC’s approval of the run-of-the-mill (if you want to refer to the 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss optics and GPS as run-of-the-mill) Nokia N95 was a bit overshadowed by the FCC leak of the 8GB Black Nokia N95 , but it’s an important development nonetheless. That’s good and bad. It’s great news for all those US residents that have waited this long for the America-specific Nokia N95 to finally reach our shores - we’re sure this news has all of you jumping for joy. But, if you’re one of the gotta-have-it gadget aficionados that jumped the gun and ponied up for an imported Euro-spec Nokia N95, you’ll be sad to hear that we’ll soon have a fully-functional 3G radio on the US-spec N95. Bummer. Still, nothing else has changed, so it’s not that bad. (But damned if 3G wouldn’t round out the Nokia N95’s feature-set nicely, in the US that is) FCC source [Via: Phone Scoop ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Nokia N95 starts shippingNokia 8600 approved by the FCCNokia N76, N95 approved by the FCCFCC just approved the Sony Ericsson M610i … again; is it codename Elena or Lizzy?Thank you for submitting news about the E65 getting approved by the FCC but it isn't exactly blog worthy

Nokia’s marketing department deserves a round of applause for their newest act of advertising genius. Rather than go toe-to-toe with the incredible iPhone buzz-machine, Nokia opted to go the comedy route for their N95 - a damn good decision, if you ask us. Playing on the Nokia N95’s role as the multimedia computer, the ads warn of jealous laptops attacking their once loyal users - apparently laptops don’t like competition. You know it’s funny when you bust out laughing…and you’re all alone. The “JEALOUSCOMPUTERS.com | A Global Warning” campaign is so hilarious, it’s good (and the other way around). Check out the victim reports, instructional videos, and “medical pictures from a doctor’s office” at jealouscomputers.com - they’re a riot! There’s also a good amount of downloads for Nokia fans, so make sure to get your fix.
