>> "The Nokia N95 brings a range of multimedia features together, such as a 
>> fantastic display, outstanding photo and video capability and high-speed 
>> connectivity,
>> making it an excellent multimedia computer," Nokia Asia-Pacific Multimedia 
>> Vice-President Jose-Luis Martinez told reporters here after unveiling the 
>> new
>> range last evening. The N95, referred to as "an all-in-one multimedia 
>> computer" by Nokia, is a 2-way slide phone sporting integrated GPS 
>> functionality,
>> a 5 megapixel camera and support for high-speed mobile networks, making it

>> photos,

>> stand-alone devices that you no longer need to carry individually, whether 
>> it is your music player, your digital camera, PDA or navigation device. 
>> Most
>> importantly, the Nokia N95 is with you and connected when you want to use 
>> it," Martinez said. Elaborating on the GPS functionality, the first for 
>> Nokia
>> phones, Martinez said it allows users to locate points of interests and 
>> find their way using the integrated GPS feature. "The maps cover more than 
>> 100
>> countries and 15 million points of interests, enabling users to explore 
>> the world," he said, though refusing to identify the cities and areas 
>> where the
>> service would be functional. When operational, the GPS feature would allow 
>> N95 users to search for local vicinity favourites like the most popular 
>> food
>> places, buildings and save their favourite locations. They can also 
>> purchase additional features such as voice guided navigation instructions, 
>> the company
>> said. This is also the first time that Nokia is offering a 5 megapixel 
>> camera on its phones. "With the Carl Zeiss optics on the 5 megapixel 
>> camera, you
>> can capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips. Photos 
>> and video clips can be enjoyed on a compatible television set," Nokia 
>> said. Designed
>> for High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks and with support 
>> for WLAN, EDGE and WCDMA networks, the Nokia N95 provides excellent 
>> coverage and
>> speeds. In HSDPA networks, browsing the Internet, reading email, streaming 
>> video and downloading large files can be carried out up to 10 times faster 
>> than
>> with 3G. Nokia also unveiled music versions of its N70, N73 and N91 
>> phones, with the N91 8GB music edition fitting 6,000 songs.
