New Nokia N95 8GB

It seems a new version of the popular Nokia N95 is arriving. IntoMobile has a spy-photo (thanks to Slashphone) of this new cool phone. I like it black very much.

My wishlist:

• High resolution display
• Better battery performance (already good for me)
• Faster WiFi

The N95 vs iPhone competition is getting hotter… Now you will be really able to use your N95 as an MP3 player.
