After receiving rave reviews following its initial release last year the Nokia N 95 was followed up by the exciting news concerning the impending release of the new Nokia 8GB handset, which by the way is now out. The first thing that was noticed upon seeing the Nokia 8GB was the obvious difference in the color of its case, because while the Nokia N95 was available in plum and silver this new 8GB model is now available in a great looking matte black finish.

Also, one more very obvious feature of the Nokia 8GB is that it comes with a great movie already in it and ready to play. Its the Spider Man 3 movie and its a new marketing ploy that Nokia has implemented which worked on us by the way. The screen on the 8GB is different from the screen on the N95 in one big obvious way and that is that it is bigger on the 8GB.

The old screen on the N95 was 2.6 inches while the new screen on the 8GB is 2.8 inches, which doesn't seem like a whole lot but the added .2 inches does make a difference when text messaging and also does mean a little less squinting when watching movies on the handset.

One thing that Nokia handset uses have been consistently asking for is more battery life and their wishes have now been answered with the 8GB. However; longer battery life also means a bigger battery and so the rear of the 8GB has been reconfigurated to make room for the larger battery.

Of course the newer model N95 8GB comes with the same high quality 5.0 mega pixel camera with flash, digital zoom and video recording capability. Also, this new Nokia handset also comes with Zeiss optics as well, for premium results when using the camera in it. There is one minor adjustment however and that is that the 8GB now comes with a convenient lens cover to protect the lens on it when it is not in use.

Another source of complaints from N95 users was that due to the positioning of the key pad next to the rest of the phones feature buttons, people claimed that typing accurately was sometimes a problem. Nokia has made a correction that has hopefully rectified this problem by raising the key pad slightly.

One great improvement that everyone will love is that the 8GB comes with more memory. For music lovers this is a must because there is never such a thing as too much memory for recording songs. In fact, with the addition of the extra memory space that comes with the 8GB this puts the Nokia 8GB way ahead of all the other handsets on the market including Mp3.

Of course this new memory space will be even more appreciated by movie buffs, because movies require far more memory capacity then music. So, it is obvious that Nokia has been listening to their customers and doing their market research, because the results are obvious in this new and improved handset.
