Gah, why did they have to raise the price 100 bucks, faaaaaaaaaaaack.
You are not very observant are you?
They really should have kept it the same price, still nice update.
They did, the just added a bigger model. Wake up people!!
As much as I love apple I wish they would roll out these products to all the countries at the same time.

The register is reporting that they're available today in the UK...
I'll take an 8 GB. All I want is the internet and mail.
Thunk Different.
To contrast, on O2's homepage today they're advertising the Black 8GB N95 for free.
Macworld UK is reporting Duffy doing a gig on the 15th Feb in the Regent Street store. I wonder if that corresponds with some other (more interesting) product updates?
How did they fast track this through FFC testing without anyone getting word out?

Why would they have to go through the FFC or FCC or whatever for just a simple memory upgrade. It's not like they're creating a whole new product.
