Nokia to introduce 8GB N95 variant?

Might Nokia be already putting its flagship N95 smartphone through an upgrade cycle?  Snoopers through the Finnish company’s xml phone profile page have found reference to an all-black variant of the handset complete with a full 8GB of memory.  That would certainly please those who have found the N95’s five-megapixel camera to be a decent replacement to their old digicam.

Rumour continues that the 8GB N95 will come in an all-black casing and maybe even without the GPS functionality, which seems both a shame and unlikely unless they name it a “music edition” and omit the navigation for the sake of battery life.

On that subject, here’s hoping that Nokia will be putting a higher-capacity battery pack in any future version of the phone; reviewers and users are still scathing at its short lifespan.
