Assuming its similar price in the US what type of consumers is Nokia targeting? Om, do you have any idea about Nokia's marketing strategy for US market?</p> I read somewhere that N95 would be available for 700 Euros or so (not sure about US price).

My only gripe is with the smallish dialpad (the bottom left is especially tricky for a righty). But, that said I have never loved a phone so much. Call and signal quality (on tmobile) is excellent, and the camera in still and video outperforms. Hopefully by the time it gets released stateside and become popular I will have moved on to my next import, Nokia of course.</p> I have the n73 via import and I can’t say enough about it.
