Nokia launches N95 to US
The biggest news for US consumers is the US N95. The European version of the N95 has been sold direct through Nokia here in the US for a few months now, and was amazing enough to get our Editors' Choice award. Its five-megapixel camera, high-res screen, Wi-Fi, multimedia, and GPS make it a true handheld computer. But the Euro N95 was missing one key element: American high-speed cellular networks. The new, $699 US version adds in support for AT&T Wireless' HSDPA network, letting people browse the Web at speeds of around 1 megabit per second. It also pumps up the battery, increases RAM, and improves GPS performance over the earlier model. The unlocked US N95 is also packed with the kind of software and flexibility that US carriers typically strip out of phones sold here, including links to While the US N95 is better than the European model for American buyers, US buyers will lose something: the US N95 doesn't work on European high-speed networks, instead dropping to EDGE speeds. Apparently, Nokia will only let you run at high speed on one side of the pond. We'll have a full review of the US N95 next week.
