What you see above is a reportedly leaked document from Rogers that gives us a hint of what is to come of the iPhone 3G. As you can see, Rogers is apparantly gearing up to launch an 8GB iPhone 3GS that will most likely sell for a great dell less than the 16GB model, like as in a $99 price point.

The Nokia N95 8GB has re-appeared at the FCC. This appears to be a minor update to the hugely popular smartphone. While the FCC documents filed by Nokia are cryptic at best, we managed to find some photographs of a battered N95. While the associated user manual does not have any information on what update the N95 has undergone, you can still go through it if you’ve misplaced your copy.

The Nokia N95 8GB costs US $779, and currently seems to be out of stock.
