News of the new Nokia N95 have taken the blogsphere by storm. People like Justin who usually have long blog entries are simply left speechless. Incredible, incredible, incredible. A good intro with technical details can be found on AllAboutSymbian. And, likewise incredible: It took less than a day for at least half a dozen videos from the Open Studio Event in New York and from Nokia to show up on YouTube. Take a look here. I am amazed.
This will be my next phone, definitely! Things that stand out for me:
- It's small size compared to other phones such as the N93.
- 5 mega pixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens.
- WLAN (o.k. already introduced in the N80, N91, N93...) but this is a must for my next phone. Let's hope they've got a solid VoIP/SIP client in it this time.
- GPS inside. I've been waiting for this for a while. Endless possibilities. Also, see the N95 GPS video on YouTube.
- Category 6 3G UMTS HSDPA inside (according to AllAboutSymbian). That's 3.6 MBit/s in downlink.
- Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) inside. Cool for wireless stereo headsets.
- All the usual multimedia features from previous models improved.
This one's going to crush the competition!
"This will be my next phone, definitely."
Me too! And you're right to identify the WLAN as a must-have.

My comments are not that long! ;-)
It is an amazing phone. Not my next phone though, as I am addicted to the QWERTY keyboard.
