The N95: More Bad News ...
Brighthand reports ...
Early this fall, Nokia took the wraps off the N95, a high-end S60 smartphone with cutting-edge features. At the time of this announcement, Nokia said this model would launch during the first quarter of 2007. Now, however, a comparison chart on the Nokia web site shows that the N95 isn't scheduled to debut until the second quarter of next year.

The chart also shows the N75 as available Q1 2007, and the Good Lord willing that will be early Q1. Could be the same for the N95 (i.e. early Q2).
