For us the 8gb is not on the shopping list. It's not a NextG phone. The
plain N95 is, however.

Thing is, one of its features is that of a GPS. From the reviews that I've
read (and I posted the links here the other day), they're saying that it's
a (read: expensive) subscription service to download the maps. You can buy
a navigator for around $200 these days, so why would you bother with the
N95 if you're buying it for this feature (as well as the phone bit)?

The 8 gig storage would be handy I s'pose given that it has a 4mp camera.
But how good the camera is I don't know. Still, I s'pose a flash memory
card can be installed for photo/video/music/sound file storage if we go
for the non-8gb (NextG) version.
