Nokia Launches Apple iPhone Competitor

Recently, Nokia has offered a new N95 cellular smart phone for a cool $750. Has the high-end consumer market come to stay? Eyebrows were raised at the $499 price tag for the 4GB iPhone base model. Nokia's new phone has already been launched in North America as of the second week of April 2007 and offers some thick competition.

With a 5.0 megapixel camera, a 3GB networking service over the Cingular/AT & T HSDPA system, along with WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 and runs the Symbian operating system, the N95 has many of the features of the iPhone and offers a faster wireless connectivity. Apparently, boutique stores in New York City ran out of cellular phones the very first day the new Nokia N95 was released.

However, the N95 still features the traditional cell phone keyboard and apparently is selling itself on sticking to what people already know. One thing that Nokia and other companies such as Samsung do have distinctly to their advantage is their ability to produce and release new products quickly, within the six-month span since the iPhone announcement.
