1. iPhone will not be killed. Hundreds of thousands of Apple fanbois will see to that.
2. Nokia phone models will continue to sell because Nokia properly MARKETS them, unlike they do with their internet tablet line.
3. It will wind up costing the same as the N95, $750 or more.
4. Mass market will never arrive because Nokia can't figure out how to market anything in the U.S.
5. It won't kill their own nav kit because the same BT GPS receiver can be used with other non-built-in-GPS devices. And they would still be able to sell the software separately.
Nokia dreams they had the type of viral marketing and lock-in that Apple currently does, and that alone is why no device Nokia has - or will have in the foreseeable future - can come close to touching the iPod.
But I will say this...my Nokia N95 has more "connectivity" options/features on my Macbook Pro than the current iPhone does. Talk about pathetic (for Apple).
And wi-max will NEVER take off until every single GSM tower in {insert country here} has it up and running.
