Nokia N95 GPS Does Work In North America

I had some reservations about the Nokia N95 namely because I knew some of its features would probably not work here in America. One of those features was GPS. I searched long and hard to find info on whether or not it would work outside of Europe and I'm happy to say, yes it will. Not only will it work in the U.S. but it comes with preloaded maps from over 100 countries making it a true global device.

Plankton was able to score one and we both can't wait to finally touch it in person. I've been fed up with my Windows Mobile and have been looking for a phone that could act as an interim until the release of the iPhone. I think the Nokia N95 may be it. Although it looks big, it's no wider or taller than the Sony Ericsson K800. In fact, with its excellent 5 megapixel CCD, it's better to think of it as a really compact digital camera that does GPS and smartphoning.

A powerful device indeed — which makes me wonder even more why it doesn't sport a qwerty-keyboard, instead of that cheap plastic numeral one...

And I can't say I'm thrilled about the design, either... =/

Personally, I tossed MY HTC/Qtek Windows Mobile away for a while, for the Bang & Olufsen Serene (though I'll have to pick it up as soon as my second SIM arrives, to do some serious mail, messaging and surfing — because quite frankly the tech specs of the Serene are crap.)
