Nokia USA Launches N95-3 with US 3G Support

Nokia USA has relaunched the flagship of the feature-packed N-Series for the US market.

The Nokia N95-3 is visually identical to the original European model, but the main differences lie in the radio hardware and software.The phone supports US 3G frequencies and HSDPA data access as well as increased RAM (128MB up from 64 MB).

The phone also has a localized version of the Nokia Maps application with an autonomous built-in GPS reciever and free maps available from Nokia, and a larger battery at the expense of the lens cover for the camera, which is now recessed into the body of the phone.

The featureset is otherwise identical to the original European model with a 2.6 inch QVGA display, 5 megapixel camera with VGA resolution video recorder, front-facing camera for video calls (the functionality is unsupported), Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP stereo audio support, Wi-Fi radio with SIP support for VoIP services and UPnP support for media streaming, HTML web browser, media player, microSD expansion slot, stereo speakers, speakerphone, and sliding external music player controls.

The phone is now available exclusively from Nokia retail locations with no mention of online availability.
