A version of Nokia's N95 uber smartphone with 8GB of storage and U.S.-friendly 3G cellular-wireless data networking has been approved by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for release in this country. This is significant because all devices slated for American airwaves must receive a thumbs up from the FCC before shipping here.
Two editions of the N95 are already available in this country, one with 8GB of memory and the other with far less storage but with 3G support. The version just given a thumbs up by the FCC is the first to combine both of these important features.
During CES earlier this month, Nokia announced this smartphone would ship sometime during the first quarter. Clearing the FCC hurdle makes this timeframe all the more likely. Rumors estimate a February 15th release. (Source)
