Nokia May Be Boosting the N95 to 8 GB

Nokia intends to release an upgraded version of its N95 Multimedia Smartphone in the coming months, if an unconfirmed report is correct.

Later this year, this Symbian/S60 device will be available with 8 GB of internal memory, a significant upgrade from the 160 MB of internal storage it offers now, according to Engadget. This move is likely in response to the Apple iPhone, one version of which also has 8 GB of built-in storage.

In addition, the upcoming version of this smartphone is supposed to have a lightly larger screen and come in a black casing.

The new N95 is supposedly going to debut during the fourth quarter of this year. There has been no word on what it will cost.
