Dubai does look gorgeous...
it does look like Dubai anyways and it seems right, as most of the phones come out there first.
are you joking? Although the Emirates is a great place, Dubai is not one of the first, and it is also one of the most expensive.
If anywhere, I'd say Qatar is (or Doha, Dubai's older brother)
But can it play Crysis?
It's more likely to play Doom then Crysis, but we can hope
The latest hit among S60 phone is quake now :P
And omg hot, if it is brushed metal!
Someone already made quake for it
Fernando!
Not brushed Polished!
ugly
2nd that! Look terrible!
Agreed though I'd hope that this is just the phone before the spray paint!
Etisalat Network...Thats in Emirates and the Dude has the time zone set to Abu Dhabi
(Emirates Capitol)...
Oh hot damn! I have the N73, which I LOVE, but the camera quality could be a little better. The N95 was my cream dream for awhile, but this tops it because 1) I'm not a slider fan and 2) It finally has a Xenon flash!!!!
Now, if only it had North American 3G. I am a bit jealous of my friends with 3G here in Southern California. (And of my Palm 750, but that's about all it does better than my N73.)
I'm sure they will have an alternate to chrome, but, nonetheless, this is why I haven't jumped on an iPhone...
ugly as hell!
It is indeed ugly but I have to wonder if I should get this now because of the camera or the US N95.
If you are with AT&T and has data plan, you should get the N95-3 since we still don't know when this phone is available.
Don't like the keypad too much but I love the features on this phone.
how are you meant to play 'snakes' with that keypad?
I'd recommend just using the 3 & 7 keys.
Aah, I remember the good old days playing snake on my 3120 during class...
Looks great!!!
i shall have to buy this tight phone.
Looks are what it are other than that perfect spec for my use and most of all candybar ya! Thought 2.4 screen not 2.6 might set me to N95 8GB will see when N81 comes out.
Btw what is that phone doing in Dubai shouldnt it be in Finland?
N82 not N81 =)
Pff more to fix N95 8GB 2.8 screen.
Why cant we get edit button here!
Dubai is rich B****!!! Dubai is becoming a powerhouse in the exchange market.
Looks like a Sony Ericcson
I wish people would stop with the "looks like S-E comments" already. Nokia used this kind of keypads before! Way back in 1999.
At least N91 had that keybad, but yeah they all take form each other... old news.
Expandable memory?
Micro SD slot. 32GB max.
Sold!
Is it me or does it look like it borrowed its design cues from the Palm Centro
Sadly, it appears so. So Palm, the Centro is a good deviation, but for Nokia....
However, there are two good differences: (1) Unlike the Centro, the feature set on this is near--assuming there's no American 3G, there almost never is--flawless, so its aesthetics are forgivable; (2) It's really the chrome that's making this such an eyesore, not so much the physical design, Nokia will definitely have this available in more colors, remedying the ugliness.

Seriously, Nokia: WHY THE HELL DID YOU WRAP SUCH AN AMAZING PHONE IN REYNOLDS WRAP?
big of a shame about the buttons, makes it look a bit like a chinese knockoff but other than that it looks fairly sexy
Keep it real hear it looks like they crossed the Sirocco series and the N series phones and F'd up. The buttons are horrible!
What are those? Buttons for ants!
That phone is absolutely awful: 1. keyboard is a texter's nightmare, 2. that polished finish would drive me nuts, 3. it's still hopelessly S60.
Erk, definitely not an interesting one for me :)
"Hopelessly S60" as opposed to what?
I don't care for the 'DeLorean' colour scheme, but I do like the rest of the package. Are the faceplates of the easy swap kind? I hope not, as the phones Nokia produces with that 'feature' are bloody dust magnets.
They clearly took design cues from the iPhone, with the chrome, accelerometer, and ambient light sensor...
I wonder if this thing blends...
That looks like a QVGA resolution screen. Basically, very unwieldy and inconvenient for web browsing. Call me when nokia figures out that some people want to use their phone for web and high resolution display of video.
There is no reason that phone cant have at least a VGA screen.
@js
even the very first N95 has a built-in accelerometer when it came out. Now tell me they took design cues from your iPhone.
Ugly.
As.
Sin.
Dunno about everyone else but I think this phone looks delicious...
One more thing to ask that hasn't been covered, and which the N95 sports... does this model incorporate 'TV-out'?
