FCC approved--3G Nokia

Currently, the only way to get your hands on the Nokia N95 mega-multimedia phone here in the US was as an imported unlocked version. Which is on the pricey side, to say the least. But with news today that the 8 GB version of the 3G-enabled N95 has passed FCC muster, we should be seeing it sometime in the next few months in AT&T's growing stable of phones (and possibly T-Mobile, which has been slowly releasing 3G phones in anticipation of its 3G network rollout). And that, coupled with most assuredly a multi-year contract, will get you the N95 for much less.
If you're not familiar with this super-phone, it features a two-way slider design (sliding one way to open the keypad, and the other to reveal media playback controls), a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss-sourced optics, Wi-Fi connectivity, VGA video capture at 30 frames per second, embedded GPS receiver, 2.8-inch screen, and TV output.
