Rumor has it that the Nokia N95 NAM 3g version, aka the N95-3, is coming to AT&T stores in the second quarter this year. Some people would say this is good because it will make the N95 more available with cheaper prices for people that don't like spending $500 bucks a phone that doesn't have touchscreen. But then of course you get a phone thats locked down like the N75 was, with laggy firmware thats restricting. Solution? Unlock and unbrand it like many have with the N75. Personally, I think this is great for Nokia. I'm sure a good chunk of people will learn who to unbrand it so it's just like having a Nokia phone that never had ATT firmware installed in it. Only thing left is you might have a AT&T logo on the front of the phone. But who cares if your saving hundreds of dollars right?
This rumor is brought to us by the reliable sources over at Engadget Mobile. If I'm not mistaken, this will be the first 5 megapixel phone sold by AT&T. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
What do you think about this? Is this good for the consumers and Nokia? How locked down do you think this will be?
Things that come to mind. Share On Ovi, Share period. Applications like Qik, Shozu, and Emtube. I don't think At&t can prevent the installation and use of those applications. How about Nokia Maps and GPS?
Only time will tell.
What's next?

No way. I hate it when phones are put onto plans. AKA. Rogers, ATnT, Sprint ect. Its just a personal opinion. I think it'll ruin the phone, and over populate it.
besides overpopulating it, wouldn't just flashing it and unlocking it be fine?
