I don’t like stories about Carrier ABC releasing phone XYZ since I’m expecting all of my loyal readers to be buying unlocked. However this is a special case since the N95 will probably be the most coveted phone for 2007. It’s already launched in Malaysia, and reports say it will hit Taiwan in February 2007. The UK however … well just read on:

T-Mobile UK, well known around the place as consistently having an annoyingly poor range of modern handsets has been pulling out the stops recently.

For instance, recently, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw they were selling Sony Ericsson K800s. It used to take quite a while for T-Mobile to get out the new handsets in comparison to the likes of Vodafone or o2. They were always good with Windows Mobile, but it was the Nokias and Sony Ericssons and Samsungs of this world that a lot of consumers wanted to see.

Anyway all that disappears into the mud with the news that T-Mobile are to launch the N95. In January 2007! Gosh.

Now.

Now this is an exciting move. The N95 is a multimedia computer! That’s what we’re callin’ these things now. It’s just about as far away from your standard Nokia Christmas-Cracker cheapo handset that you can get. Combine this handset with an unlimited data service plan with which T-Mobile is now justly famous … and good things begin to happen.

  • New Information

    The Nokia N95 has a launch date of 7 March 2007 and most operators are trying to get testing, etc. done to be inline for the launch date. Nothing from T-Mobile’s side on the launch.
