I got a Nokia N95 as my contract upgrade last week, but what I really want is an iPhone. I know it's AT&T locked and (theoretically) shouldn't work in the UK, but with all the rumblings about being able to hack them I'm willing to take the risk.

If you haven't heard of the N95, it's a great phone. Dual slide form factor, 5MP camera (amazing), quad band, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, huge screen, 1GB Mini-SD card, iSync compatible, PictBridge, 3.5mm headphone jack.

I don't need a phone with all these features, and I know a lot of people in America might be after this phone.

Make me an offer, if your offer is an iPhone, consider it done. If you have an iPhone for sale, let me know and if I can sell my N95 you might be getting an offer from me.

I should add that the phone is unlocked, so will work with any carrier in the US. It will work on any GSM band, and has EDGE and UMTS/WCDMA.

The phone still has its box and all accessories (earphones, remote, video out cable, Nokia software disc) and manuals.

Some pictures of the phone.

If it's the European model, then won't the UMTS not work stateside? It'd be stuck on EDGE, wouldn't it? I don't know what band U.K. uses.

I'd buy it. My gf has been eyeing one for a while.

It should work fine on either. EDGE and UMTS are both used over here so they should both work in the US as well. The phone is designed to be used worldwide, so I imagine they thought of that.

UMTS does not work in US. Its designed for Europe. EDGE should be fine. This is why Nokia is releasing a US N95 this month.

Thanks for clearing that up. So the US N95 will be the EU N95 minus UMTS and with a different battery?

are you only interested in trading the N95 for a 8GB iPhone or can it be a 4GB iPhone?
