UPDATE 10/26/06: Video is back!. A video from the Mobile Pirates surfaced previewing the Nokia N95. What’s interesting is they are concealing their identity as they show off the functions of this highly anticipated phone. I’m really impressed when they showed the fast and new 3D menu and explain how the music player buttons work. I like this video a lot. Check it out.

Alex Wrege was in New York over the weekend and stopped by the Nokia store. He made a video showing the Nokia N95 prototype at the store filmed with his Nokia N93. I’m surprised they let him take the video, because they gave me a hard time just taking a picture of it. Alex says,

the prototype was really very prototype-ish. Applications crashed all of the time and when using the built-in camera, the display showed some beta-funky-ness.

Sybarites.org, an interesting community for people who enjoy the finer things in life, shares their first impression of the Vertu Constellation. The weight is very noticeable, but they note that weight can portray good quality to some people. Since not that many people are fortunate enough to own this device, I am looking forward to their upcoming review of the concierge service, which is included in all Vertu phones.

Mobilmania.cz shares some hands-on photos and video of the Nokia N95 from the Nokia Open Studio 2006 in New York. I wish I can translate their article, but I could not find any Czech to English translator. The video shows a Nokia representative showing off some of its features.
