Nokia's N95 now shipping... everywhere but here

by Thomas Ricker, posted Mar 22nd 2007 at 4:28AM

It's not much use to those of us in North America but Nokia flagship "multimedia computer" just launched pretty much everywhere but here. It's mid-march which means the €550 ($736) Nokia's N95 is now shipping in "key markets" spread across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. So while the rest of world is enjoying that 5 megapixel camera, integrated GPS, WiFi, HSDPA, and dual-slidin' S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 action, we get to probe the FCC filing in hopes of a hint for a release closer to home. Remember, if you do manage to snap one up then please let us know where and for how much dinero -- mama says it's good to share.

How can you say 'here' when the web is a global entity... the first and second w in www stand for world wide.

Is Engadget Mobile a US only site?

Yeah, we've got it at £79.99 with the unlimited data package on T-Mobile

Having played with one at 3GSM in Barcelona, it's a very very nice handset. Worth mentioning that most of the Nokia execs I was chatting to were using it, with a smattering opting for the E90 communicator instead.

I agree with the fist poster. You can't say here when the Internet is global. If you wanted this to be a US only site then you shouldn't have used the .com suffix and should have used .us instead.

Anyway about the phone, it seems to be on pre-order in the UK to ship from 2nd April, its smaller than the n73, n80 and will probably phone of the year.

I have to admit, this phone is looking really nice. It's the first Nokia I've ever actually liked and wanted. I'll look into picking one up whenever it hits the US.

Arrgh! I can't believe this beauty isn't being marketed in the U.S. So frustrating!

The guys who run this site are American.

You also have Engadget Spanish, China, and Japan.

Let's relax a bit.

The phone will be available for purchase in the US at the NYC and Chicago Nokia Flagship Stores next week, according to sales reps.

I'm in the US if I buy one overseas will it work here? I mean with no FCC approval maybe the GPS function is blocked or something..
