The N95 has a built in medicine player, which supports MP3 and WMA files. There is stereo speaker support, and a built in FM radio. The French telephone has 160MB internal store, which tin be expanded by a further 2GB with the summation of a micro SD circuit board. With Bluetooth stereo system documentation you can listen to the music role player wirefree with a compatible Bluetooth stereo headset.

Despite the impressive lineament list, the N95 is by no agency a large earphone. There are phones available with a lower lineament exercise set that come in with bigger dimensions (P990i, for example). The N95 has dimensions of just 99×53×21mm and weighs in at a respectable 120g.

Being a Symbian handset, the N95 features tin be enhanced with the summation of duplicate software system (such as software for advanced call option direction, translation software system, etc) Currently there are over 1,000 software system titles available for S60v3 phones, and this depository library will continue to grow as Nokia release more handsets over the advent months.

Connection wise the handset has a USB port for connecting to a PC, and a 3.5mm jack distributor point allowing you to hack in your own headset for music listening, and video recording viewing.

Overall, the Nokia N95 packs it in. There’s probably a few features I rich person forgotten to mention. Does the N95 deserve the title of ultimate earphone? I think so. You’d be hard pushed to discovery a bettor featured French telephone anytime soon.

This is means ahead of it’s UK release at the oddment of this calendar month/start of next calendar month (depending on who you believe, and where you are getting it from)! Unfortunately I only had the gimmick for the very briefest period of time, but that didn’t stopover me cranking out a duet of videos – in this one we proceeds a whistlestop circuit around the computer hardware:

You can discovery out more about the HTC Legend at HTC’s official web site here.

Remember those new BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold 9700 pics I shared with you not so long ago? The same folks at Tinhte.com came through for us there, and they’re showin’ off some more love this good morning too. This meter around they’ve got the GSM version of the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pixi for show.

Interestingly sufficiency, the GSM variant looks to be backpacking 4GB of memory (half of what we’re expecting on the CDMA version), an EDGE logotype and a SIM circuit board slot under the assault and battery.

Hopefully with tasty leaks of the GSM variant like this hit us, we’ll see the GSM’d-out Palm Pixi on AT&ere;T (New York Stock Exchange: T) quite shortly after it launches on Sprint (NYSE: S). Me thinks that should be the case, but you never know.

Hit up the jump for a quick video recording.
