Nokia’s North American N96 has already made an appearance at bes. Buy Mobile locations but, if you’re the die hard type that prefers to keep things as Nokia-centric as possible, you’ll no doubt be pleased to know that Nokia’s flagship phone is at this time also available at Nokia’s two flagship stores in New York and Chicago. You will have to pay a slight premium for all that Nokia-ness, however, with the phone running a hefty $842 (unlocked, of course) at the stores compared to the $800 bes. Buy is asking. Those with a bit more will power and slightly less affection for Nokia may want to think twice though, as Amazon at this time also has the phone listed for just $705.99, albeit with a promised ship Dat. of November 9th.

Not that we ever (okay, maybe there was a moment of weakness in there somewhere) doubted that Nokia’s N85 was North America-bound, but the handset dubbed superior to the flagship N96 by one Italian reviewer is indeed coming to US soil. And we’ve found the FCC documentation to prove it. At this point though, there’s little the User Guide, external / internal photos and SAR report can tell us that we don’t already know, so again, the takeaway in this place is that we’re one (very big) step closer to having an N85 to call our own. at this time that’s what’s up.

It’s no world-beater or anything, but the dual-display LG VX5500 is finally on sale at Verizon Wireless. Just as a refresher, this one’s bringing Bluetooth, a VGA camera, speakerphone, VZ Navigator support, voice activated dialing and Mobile Web 2.0. If you’re cool with being just a few miles behind the curve, you can dig in at this time for $49.99 on a 2-year contract, $119.99 on a 1-year deal or $219.99 outright.
