Nokia N95 8Gb official launch, with crazy activation plan!
The Nokia N95 8Gb device will be avaliable in Canada for $399 with a 3-year activation plan. This is the first Nseries phone to Hit Canada, and It’s going the before United States.
This Nokia smartphone is hell of a device, but let’s face it, do you see yourself holdng one phone for 3 years? Every phone that’s coming today obligates you to have a deal with Carrier. Well maybe they don’t have much phones coming next 3-years to Canada, I don’t know :) Here are Specs of device:
8GB Capacity
5 MegaPixel Camera with 20x Zoom
2.8″ (240 x 320) QVGA 16 million colour display
Video Recording at 30/sec frame rate
3G and Wifi
Mobile Mail and POP E-mail
Nokia’s N-Gage games service
TeleNav for maps and directions
Well while price looks pretty reasonable, 3-years activation plan doesn’t, atleast to me. Let’s wait who will carry this phone to United States.
iPhone killer comes, beware Apple!
Blackberry 9000? Promised to come this May, this phone should play a big role for the R.I.M. because since the iPhone their sales have fallen down, plus iPhone is going enterprise - which R.I.M. can’t afford to happen, today’s most “enterprise friendly” phones are Blackberrys.
It’s not going to be a touchscreen as it seems, because R.I.M.’s CEO Mike Lazaridis says:
“It’s hard to type on a piece of glass.”
To me it sounds like:
“It’s hard to type on a piece of shit.”
And you know why? Because Apple is getting a big creamy piece of their pie now, Sad R.I.M., R.I.M. not happy! Here is smartphone sales chart: 
Awaited spects are a little better than the iPhone’s, but basically. So let’s wait for it.
P.S. Here is an interesting quote from recent NYT article:
Two independent developers writing software for coming R.I.M. devices say that a touch-screen BlackBerry is in the works, and that R.I.M. engineers privately refer to it as the A.K. — for “Apple Killer.”
P.P.S. Where is Android?
