Most folks in the U.S. who have shelled out $750 for an unlocked N95 have been disappointed by the slow EDGE data speeds. But according to a rumor from GigaOM it looks like Nokia is prepping a version with HSDPA, the American flavor of 3G. The updated N95 is expected to be released by a U.S. carrier (all signs point to AT&T) in September.
The phone, which sports a 5 megapixel camera, integrated GPS and WiFi, would be a hit in the States for the anti-iPhone crowd. To date, only two GSM phones with built-in GPS have been offered by U.S. carriers: RIM’s BlackBerry 8800 and HP’s iPAQ 69xx series.
