It seems as though the USA version of the N95 8GB is going to be launched and demoed at the end of September. The Consumed by S60 blog has details of a special 'party' in the LA area, while Engadget Mobile has been showing off an actual USA spec (850/1900 MHz) model.
Steve Litchfield went along to the informal Go:Play:Reloaded event (ok, ok, a boat trip and lots of chatting) held the day after the main launch, to get some quality hands on time with Nokia's new devices and interface. Longer analysis to follow, but here are some of the most interesting images from today....
If you want to watch the goings on in London on the Web, here's the direct streaming feed. Update: The link now shows the footage from the Go Play event.
Below is the official press release from Nokia announcing, among other things, the N81 and N95 in 8GB versions. I've inserted some glossy photos as well. Rafe and Ewan will add hands-on photos during the day in the main Flickr stream at the top of the AAS front page.

All About Symbian's sister site All About N-Gage is back and bringing you all the game-related news coming out of today's huge Go Play launch event by Nokia in London! Head on over there right now to see the revamped site, which is ready to inform you about all the developments with the Next Generation of N-Gage games on S60 3rd Edition smartphones.
That's right, we couldn't possibly talk about tomorrow's big Nokia launch day in London, although other mainstreammedia have no such reservations. Suffice it to say that Rafe, Ewan and myself will be there in person and reporting live on any music or gaming devices, platforms or services that may (or may not) be announced and demonstrated. Watch AAS during Wednesday for more...

Smartphones Show 41 just went live, with a hands-on video review of the new Nokia 6110 Navigator, a video version of my in depth look at free GPS navigation solutions and... a plea for help(!) Here's the YouTube version, the MP4 version and the RSS feed.
In the great Nokia E90 appreciation pantheon, Ewan clearly falls midway between E90-despiser Andrew Orlowski and E90 uber-fans myself and My-Symbian's Michal J. But, at the end of the day, Ewan's decided the the Nokia E90 isn't for him...
