Nokia N95 pre-production hands-on

Pre-production phones, eh?  Who'd have 'em.  Software glitches, occasionally dodgy build quality, not being able to sell them on eBay – it's a harsh life getting your hands on luscious hardware before anyone else.  Enter stage-left the Nokia N95, not for our grabbing hands until next year but here in pre-production form getting the once-over by Jihad Abdullah Soaileek over at The Nokialist.

Does he like it?  Well, it lacks the 802.11b/g and GPS chips that go partway to making the N95 so tempting, but otherwise it's a promising start – he won't rate it, but hints that if he were to it'd score in the region of 95%.  This is a phone I'm very excited about!
