May 1st, 2008N95 is for real from Rogers

The hits just keep on coming from Rogers. It’s official, the red team is launching Nokia’s flagship n95 device in Canada. And it’s about damn times. The N95 has HSPA support, a 5MP camera, full 8GB memory, blackness, Nokia’s s60 operating system with a gazillion apps out there and… we assume… Rogers won’t disable the wifi either.

Stay tuned. No word yet on pricing or plans. Do keep an eye on what they want to charge for this thing with/without a gruesome 3-year contract. You can get an n95 today unlocked from tigerdirect for under 500 bucks. More details when we have em, Rogers is launching the thing in earnest on friday.

This thing and iPhone will bring some more serious competition for Canada’s hometeam RIM, especially when it comes to the high-end consumer segment. Your Pearl is suddenly looking long in the tooth.

It's cool that they are launching it on Friday, because it will no doubt give us a preview of iPhone pricing. In fact, my guess is that it is getting launched now because Rogers can keep more of the revenue from each user from an n95 than they can an iPhone, so now there is incentive to offer the option where before there wasn't.

With the reports that RIM is going even more consumer friendly this device looks promising, not the least for RIM's Asia Pacific prospects.
