Nokia brought joy to all fans of the high-end Nokia N95 by announcing the exciting
 Nokia N95 8GB. The Nokia N95 8GB edition comes dressed in black and has
 undergone several changes. The main one of course is the thrilling memory capacity
 of 8GB. It is technically 8.1GB as there are also 100MB of system memory for
messages, ringing tones etc. The screen has also grown up from the 2.6" of the
 original to 2.8" in the new edition. The display still supports QVGA resolution and can
 show up to 16M colors. Nokia N95 8GB is powered by 1200 mAh Li-Ion battery as
opposed to the rather modest 950 mAh in the original Nokia N95 - hopefully the new battery will be able to deal better with the phone’s energy needs. The weak battery
was probably the most criticized feature of the original N95 model. The higher
capacity battery on the other side has resulted in removing the lens cover. Luckily,
the GPS is still present, regardless of the expectations that it will be sacrificed in
order to make room for the extra memory. Instead the memory card slot is removed
 so transferring data through card-reader is no longer an option. Finally, another significant change in the smartphone's hardware has been made - the RAM is now
double the size of the orginal to improve user experience with the browser or with
 multiple applications running in the background. Nokia N95 8GB's expexted retail price
 is EUR 560 before taxes.
