Nokia N95 8GB available on 3UK, woosh!

I got word recently that the N95 8GB is now available on 3UK. The first 500 folk ordering one get a set of speakers, apparently.

No word on whether it’s running X-Series.  I imagine it will be.   The X-Series portion of the 3UK  website doesn’t look like it has been updated for a good few months.  And when I had a look on the online ordering page, the N95 had the X-Series icon next to it, whilst the 8GB version just had an MSN Live icon.

I don’t think 3UK would launch such a powerful and potentially exciting handset on to the marketplace without X-Series support. This has to be one of the sexiest and advanced handset/mobile operator combinations available on the planet today (excluding the Far East and their 100mb/sec multimedia style  services).  Unrestricted data, a ton of brilliant applications and a wicked Nokia handset… good work.  This would be my choice.  I’d definitely take a look at Vodafone’s rival offering, but I think I use data far too much to be arsing around with Voda’s silly access policies.
