Nokia has announced that the black N95 8GB smartphone has started shipping across the world, with most of Europe and selected Middle East countries also getting the Spiderman 3 movie preloaded into the large internal flash drive. Reports of sightings welcome.

Press release extract:

The stunning Nokia N95 8GB made its debut global shipments today, and will be hitting a store near you soon. The Nokia N95 8GB is the memory-packed big brother of the Nokia N95 multimedia computer.

"Our Nokia Nseries family has expanded with added pizzazz and performance with the Nokia N95 8GB, a device as personal as it is powerful," said Jonas Geust, vice president, Multimedia, at Nokia. "We've reached a pinnacle with the Nokia N95 and now with the addition of one of the largest ever displays, built-in Assisted-GPS and improved battery power, the Nokia N95 8GB takes entertainment enjoyment to another level."
 
Boasting up to eight gigabytes of built-in memory, the Nokia N95 8GB has all the key features of its predecessor, including a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, built-in A-GPS, WLAN, HSDPA and an innovative 2-way slide. The sleek black N95 8GB also boasts a luminous 2.8" (240 x 320) QVGA display, so watching videos, browsing the Internet or viewing maps is a real pleasure. With its expanded memory, the N95 8GB offers up to 20 hours of video or up to 6000 songs.

Nokia today announced the shipping start of the Nokia N95 8GB multimedia computer. To celebrate its launch, Nokia has teamed up with Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) to offer a Nokia N95 8GB which comes pre-loaded with the full-length feature film in Europe and selected countries in Middle East and Africa region.
 
The movie sees Spider-Man's suit turn jet-black and enhance his powers and, in its latest incarnation, the Nokia N95 has undergone a similar transformation to emerge as the Nokia N95 8GB. The device has a sleek black cover and its enhanced powers include up to 8GB internal memory, a large 2.8 inch QVGA display and superior speakers. For the first time, full multimedia use of the two-way slide design and dedicated media keys allow users to control video on their mobile just as they would on DVD: play, pause, fast forward and rewind. With the Nokia N95 8GB, watch Peter Parker battle his demons; will he choose the seductive power of the new suit or the compassionate hero he used to be?

Good stuff. I look forward to the in depth AAS review. I suspect there might a few significant improvements on the software front hopefully? And is that screen really much clearer/brighter/better?

Anyway, I want one, though I must say my new 6120 Classic has far exceeded my already high expectations. It is a REALLY superb phone.

What we really want is the functionality of the N95 at a 6120 size/weight, with the entire front side a multitouch screen. I look forward to next year ;-)

Wow, faster than I expected. And starting price a little lower than I expected too.

"Anyway, I want one, though I must say my new 6120 Classic has far exceeded my already high expectations. It is a REALLY superb phone."

Totally agree, it's the best phone Nokia have done in ages: it's the right size, the right weight, the right shape, the right price and with the right features. It just feels right when you first pick it up. It's also far more stable than most S60s.

Sure it would be nice to have wifi and more RAM, but considering the low price and small size those are very very minor gripes.

Of all the devices we get to try out on AAS, the 6120 is the one I most wanted to keep (couldn't though, sniff!).

Excellent news.

Anyone know where you can order/pre-order an N95 8GB in the UK?

In Nokia's Tech Specs for the N95-8GB, they say:
" * Up to 100MB internal dynamic memory for messages, ringing tones, images, video clips, calendar notes, to-do list and applications
* Up to 8GB internal flash memory for multimedia content such as music, pictures, ringing tones, map data". (My bolding.)

Does this mean I cannot install apps, documents, etc. into the 8GB of internal flash memory, the way I could on a typical Nokia S60 phone's external memory card? :con? That wouldn't be nice!

dar wocius,there is a topic i this site which shows that 8gb memory looks as external e drive.it means u can install apps to it too.And at the overall view of n95 8gb at nokia's site;it says customize 8gb with musics,videos,...,applications and games.
