The quite long awaited 8GB version of the cool phone Nokia N95 has now started shipping and is expected to be in the stores soon enough.

“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.”

This is quite a good improvement of its predecessor, which includes everything that its predecessor had, including a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, built-in A-GPS, WLAN, HSDPA and an innovative 2-way slide.

Not only this, but also a 2.8″ (240 x 320) QVGA display and is said to offer up to 20 hours of video or up to 6000 songs.

And for gamers and music lovers, making it cooler is thta it supports services like Nokia Music Store and N-Gage Games.

Estimated retails price is of EUR 560 (i.e. approx Rs 31,000) + taxes or subsidies etc.. Price doesn’t seem to be too high, in compare to the features.
