Unboxing the production Nokia N95
OK, so we weren't actually planning to do a formal unboxing, but the packaging is very different from previous Nseries smartphones, plus there was a surprise in the N95's box. Read on...
Read on in the full article.

Glad to see they're including hefty 2gb memory cards now! More of this please Nokia, you know they're not that expensive to manufacture.
It's crazy when phone manufacturers advertise a phone's memory capacity ("store up to 1000 music tracks!") and then add in brackets "requires separate memory card purchase". It's like selling a PC without a HDD.
Incidentally Steve, I think the slogans are upside down because that bit of the box is upside down, from the photo it looks like it's meant to cover the phone. That or the packaging designer messed up... :-)

Yes, I think you're right - I think my box had been packed wrongly, with the box top cradling rather than cupping the main accessory box. Will amend main text.

Incidentally, have you noticed how the packaging emphasises using the N95 horizontally? The manual covers all have it being used horizontally, and the phone itself is packaged so you see it horizontally when you first open the box. (And of course the multimedia controls are designed to work when you hold the phone sideways.)
Also, I think FP2 or FP1 allow you to switch to horizontal mode, so you could use all future S60 models horizontally?
It's a small detail, but it might be one of those important ones that changes the way people think of the device. If it has a wide screen they might see it more like a computer than if it has a vertical one.
Apart from the obvious advantages horizontal displays have in video and web browsing, they're also excellent for games, and hopefully Nokia's next gen gaming platform will try to use horizontal modes as extensively as possible.

Brilliant. I received Nokia's press release this morning advising that shipment has started. Will be waiting for the handset at my local Nokia shop.
It is a shame that the handset still has the red tint on the images as you mentioned. Looking foward to your review in the coming week.

Just to note that the 2GB card is not necessarily standard. These things vary by market and operator. The size of the memory card is one of the things operators can choose and I imagine some will try and save money...

All Nokia phones come with a protective plastic film on the screen to protect it during shipping. Come to think of it, all phones from all manufacturers come with a plastic screen protector don't they?

Nice that inside is 2Gb memroy card, but to bad is that this phone supports maximum 2 gb. So you can not purchase bigger...

Some of the N-Series (N73 for instance) devices do have a BIG NSERIES printed on the protective plastic, so it's indeed useless.
