Nokia have announced the Nokia N95, featuring an innovative double slide design with multimedia controls and a keypad on opposite end of the phones. The N95 is Nokia’s first HSDPA (3.5G) device, but also boasts Wi-Fi, WCDMA, quad-band GSM, Bluetooth (including A2DP), IrDA and USB 2.0 connectivity (via mini USB connector). Other hardware features include a 5 megapixel camera, a built in GPS, TV-Out, 3.5mm audio jack, FM Radio, a MicroSD memory card slot and 150MB of internal memory. Read on for full details, pictures and the full press release.

As I’m uploading more and more images to Flickr from my N70 phone, I was having a look at the N80 with Wi-Fi support to circumvent traffic over the carriers network (no flat rate yet). What I missed on the N80 was an integrated GPS so it could keep track of the location of the shots being taken and thinner design.

I was seriously seeking for the N80 Limited Internet Edition, but after I saw this N95 coming in Q1 of 2007 I am definitely waiting for it, being a bit taller but also thinner than the N80 and N70.

I really don’t need a 5 megapixel camera, but autofocus, 150MB of internal memory, MicroSD support and bulit in GPS is really nice.

I still have to check out how it performs OS wise, as I more than often gasp with my N70 changing applictions or loading images in the Gallery.
