Hands-on with the Nokia N95 8GB for North America! {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 8th 2008 8:22AM Wow, my first post on engadget, and I'm greeted with quite possibly the most hostile reply I've ever seen. You sir, need to be more polite.
I like the iphone, but I felt the browser made up for the lack of a real keyboard, and the lack of an ssh client detracts quite a bit (but it felt really slow, even compared to the treo). PDANet is a huge boon for Treo people (owned a 600/650), and I really miss having the ability to get online wherever with decent speed. Browsing with the treo does suck for the most part, but it's serviceable, and it's a solid phone. I'm not going to spend the rest of this post defending the treo, so I'll move on.
The Nokia is new waters for me, never owned one. The fans of Nokia are... Hrm, hardcore? Yeah, these people scare me. The number of applications / games / multimedia options PLUS a GPS is a huge plus for me. And they have an ssh client. My area is getting 3G this quarter, so the N95 8GB NAM makes sense, but if Apple busts out a new iphone with 3g, an SDK, it would make the Nokia look a little less worth the 800$ I'd be paying for it..
So, to sum up... I can spend 200$ and get something that works, does almost everything I want, and has a full keyboard (treo), I can spend 800$ to get the omfgwtfbbq machine that does everything (nokia n95 nam), or I can spend 400+ and get the locked in phone that does a few things well, but doesn't do everything I need it to.
Is that a better explanation?

Jan 7th 2008 10:06AM Any word on when this might be available from Nokia? (Mobilecity has the 15th of Feb listed). I'd LOVE to buy this, but I'm scared, as I've heard that CES isn't the cell phone tech fair, and something called CTIA is, and happens a few months from now. Anyway, it's this or a treo 755P (or a 3g iphone, if it happens). thanks!
