This image came from Mobile Review. Immediate thoughts are it looks like an N81, but even larger. No specifications are known, but people say it is an N95 in a new shell. That would be a sad shame.
Update: Upon closer examination it looks like it does indeed have a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens and there is a dual LED flash similar to the Nokia 6500 Slide. The pictures of the interface clearer show S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2, which isn’t out yet.
“Nokia N73 is said to be the most successful Nseries handset to date, with monstrous sales figures compared to the rest of the N-series lot. N82 comes to succeed it and become the most affordable of feature-loaded Nokia cameraphones. The Finns quote its price at 450 Euro pretax, which sounds reasonable, given the included features and the 2GB of memory card supplied in the package.The almighty Nokia N95 should probably also feel threatened for the lack of the sweet Xenon flash and the auto UI rotation of its N82 sibling. We still believe though the extra 0.2-inch difference in the display size will also play a major role in choosing between these two devices.”
The Sony Ericsson W580i has a gimmicky feature that enables you to shake the device to change track. Someone, and I’m trying to score more details on the guy, copied that functionality to the Nokia N95 which we just found out recently has a full blown accelerometer inside.
Look what we’ve found this morning on YouTube. It’s the iGadgetLife’s video that compares two Nokia’s high-end smartphones - N95 and its successor N95 8GB. There’s no doubt the latter is a more powerful device. It has a larger screen, more RAM, better battery, boots faster and let’s not forget that sexy multimedia menu. That doesn’t mean the N95 is bad at all, it’s just that if you want a new Nokia smartphone, save a little and get yourself the eight gig version… Enjoy the 9-minute long video.
