... I've formed the opinion that Nokia is close to overtaking PocketPC. ... They are in total control and have much more momentum than PocketPC right now!

Well, that's definitely true. Last time I looked at smartphone statistics, more than 70% of sold smartphones are Symbian OS based. Well over 40% of the world market for smartphones is owned by Nokia. Windows Mobile has less than 10% of the overall market in most statistics ... and that's being generous.

Now if only they had it in CDMA flavor. Looks great!!

As for the CDMA flavor, the CDMA branch of 3G only makes up about 20% of all mobile sales in the world, with the bulk of the CDMA market in the U.S. and Korea. It simply doesn't make sense for Nokia, and other GSM-camp players, to spend a lot of money on developing CDMA products. So, I guess what I'm saying is don't hold your breath.
Lastly, as for the price, I agree, it's very expensive. However, as SPPassion pointed out, the bill of materials in the phone and the cost of buying separate devices that can do all the things the N95 can do in one package definitely makes the N95 worth that much money. That said, a lot of people won't be able to afford it, and especially not unsubsidized. Also, a lot of people don't like having everything packed into one device.
