Nokia's 8GB N95, 5310, 5610, and 5700 get shown, too

The N81 slider apparently isn't the only device up Nokia's sleeve for tomorrow morning. Gearfuse scored some shots of the 8GB N95 along with the XpressMusic 5310, 5610, and 5700 series (looking positively lovely in black, may we add), all of which are presumably destined for the announcement docket. Anyone else getting pumped for the official news?

The N95 looks sexy in black.

Unforunately though, it's *still* an N95.

So i'm not the only one thinking "meh"

[disciple83 @ Aug 28th 2007 5:31PM]

So, I have a huge decision to make in the near future. My contract expires soon, and my SYNC (Samsung A707) is starting to show signs of neglect and abuse. Since I started running I have noticed that it gets boring really quick without something to set a pace in my head.

I currently rock A ZVM, (which is half full, I pack light when I am away from the house), but almost messed myself when the announcement of the N81 8GB came to light.

The hard part of this decision is that Creative today announced a Flash upgrade and redesign of the Zen to die for, (not to mention the Zen V+ 16GB), leading me to this pair of questions. Do I continue to have two devices, a solid phone and a solid mp3 player? Or I switch to the N81 and take a chance on the battery dying when I need to make a call, but make up for it in the space saved in my pocket?

yeah, let me now when you have answer:) biggest problem is that n95me i am looking after, dont have sd card slot, and i am not fan of funny led based flash:/

So i need something like n95me+xenon flash(=n82? maybe, but i like sliders and huge n95me screen). So what i really need is n95me(form, internal memo)+n82(cam, wifi and so on), they can even take out gps:). Need to make mockup:D

Oh and if you worry about battery life, second battery will be always smaller than second device:D

oh, i do have answer:), if you need 30gb+ go with hard drive based player+mobile phone otherwise nokia is more than enough

So, after seeing the $599 price tag for the phone, I have decided that I am just too thrifty for such niceties. It would be much less expensive to pick up the Zen 16GB for $300 alongside a really solid standard cellphone included with a plan upgrade that just has an amazing talk ability instead of endless gizmos attached to services I won't use anyway.

Just a recommendation since people reading this may be in the market for similar phones...

I have had the HTC S710 for over a month now. Owned the SE p910i and p990i before that. I think everyone here probably knows all the problems p990 users experienced. Played with my friends' iPhones. Cool but impractical for a device i use for business and pleasure at least 20x a day. I only read reviews of the N95. built in GPS feature 5 mp camera almost did it for me, but no qwerty was a deal breaker.

I can honestly say that I'm totally pleased with my decision to go with the htc s710. I'm sure many people here will bash windows mobile 6, but (especially compared to all the troubles i had with the symbian os on my past p9xx phones) it really does do the job (the MS exchange sync works perfectly, great for corporate types looking for blackberry alternative). there are a couple minor quirks (which smart/pda phone os doesn't have quirks?) but i think it really is the best product in it's class out there. oh. and for $60, i picked up a bluetooth gps receiver for the car. Google Maps and MSN Live work perfectly with it. No need to drop $500 extra on that Garmin i was planning to get.

hope this helps the smart/pda phone shoppers out there.

peace.

I would personally recommend the N73 music edition to anyone looking for a new phone, It doesnt have the GPS but that can be added on (with a better chipset than the N95)..

You can add tomtom go mobile to it, so you wont need a conection to look at maps (like you would with google maps), the maps will be on the phone, You will be able to listen to your music, it has a good camera, You will be able to install msn live, gmail, or indeed google maps if you prefer, whatever you want on it.

Its also not the top model so is a bit cheaper, however it is new enough to look impressive, and it will look impressive enough for about another year and half i would think.

Saying that, I have never needed a qwerty keyboard on a mobile device.

I usually bounce between Nokia, Samsung, and sony ericsson.. I find them all to have their benefits, and can understand the allure between people liking different operating systems, and brands.

nokia e90 owns all of your phones and the ones above!

[ark_v2 @ Aug 28th 2007 11:14PM]

I think they are really ugly...

[finnith @ Aug 29th 2007 12:41AM]

Hopefully Rogers or Telus (likely Rogers, they have the good phones) will pick up one of those phones soon after the contract on my RAZR expires. Either that or I'll buy a Sony Ericsson

[Xzavier @ Aug 29th 2007 1:28AM]

I likey, likey!

[nando @ Aug 31st 2007 5:26PM]
