All About Symbian’s Rafe Blanford has got himself one of the first Nokia N95’s and has published a very nice and quite elaborate “first impressions” review.
Some quick quotes:
The N95 manages to fall into the camp of phones that feel smaller than their dimensions suggest. Compared to both the N80 and N93, the N95 feels considerably smaller.On either side of the device there are speakers. These produce surprisingly good stereo sound - certainly giving some of the best speaker-only audio output I have heard on a phone.
The camera application has a number of extras, camera options now include 4 ISO settings, contrast and sharpness adjustment, and an enhanced burst mode (now with gaps of up to 15 minutes).
A subjective first impression suggests the N95 has similar capabilities to SIRF II GPS chipsets. As with any GPS, performance will vary on your location and degree of visibility of satellites.
There is a new version of S60 browser than combines Services and Web into one application and adds a number of new features, including improved RSS and Flash Lite support and a quick access toolbar.
The N95, more than any other smartphone that has gone before, is a truly feature packed device.

Besides very very jealous, I am also very very impressed. Together with the pictures, screenshots and photos made with the N95, I can totally understand what kind of buzz this device will generate over the coming months, especially now the first happy few are able to spread the word.
Till I have one myself, I will be reporting and pointing to those early birds!
