Nokia N95-3 N95 US North American VersionIf you’ve been drooling over the Nokia N95 but haven’t been able to muster the $700 entry price for the North American N95 with US-friendly 3G frequencies, here’s some good news. TigerDirect.com has the Nokia N95-3 (the N95-3 is the US version, while the N95-1 denotes the European version), for the low, low price of $599.99. We’ve been scouring the nets for a cheap US-spec Nokia N95, and Craigslist and eBay both lose out to TigerDirect.

Stefan already covered what the differences between the Nokia N95-1 and N95-3, but here’s a quick rundown. The Nokia N95-3 trades a camera lens cover for a larger, much needed battery, the Plum battery cover has gone Black, RAM has been doubled, and the WCDMA radio now works on the US-friendly 850 and 1900Mhz frequencies.

For all of you that bought the North American N95-3 at the initial $700 price, we’re sorry to bring you this news. The N95-3 barely hit Yankee shores and there’s already a $200 $100 price drop? If it makes you feel any better, Apple screwed us for $200 for our iPhones just three months after it launched.

Thanks to Johnny Li for sending this in! (a little late, but better than never)

    You do realize that $599 is only $100 less than the official $699 price? Or did you think $700-$600 was somehow equal to $200? :P

    Datavision has it for $609, so they are also pretty close. Is TigerDirect reliable? Datavision is listed on Nokia’s N-series site, so I guess they can be trusted to not have taken out the charger or something stupid like that. :)

    HAve not checked shipping costs on either.

    :cry:
    I don’t get credit for sharing the news with you guys?

    Nice to see the Canadian TigerDirect site has the same phone listed for $731.99 even though the Canadian dollar is worth more ($1.06? Hello?) than the American dollar. What’s with that?

    Hey Johnny (Reptile)! Thanks for the info brotha. I though I included the credit, but it must have slipped my mind (I needed some sugar :smile: )

    Interesting that the stronger Looney doesn’t equate to lower prices on TD Canada. :shock:

  • Reptile

    LOL. I was just kidding about being sad. Thanks, though.
