Hmm, I'd like to see inside because I'm not really sure how they'd find the room in there for 8GB of solid state memory. Flash memory still can't give you the same density as HDD.
When I was working on the N91, the phone was probably Nokia's first with an accelerometer in order to protect the HDD in exactly the way zortoflaven describes. When the phone detected rapid acceleration, as in a fall, it would do an emergency park of the HDD's heads.
If the N95 doesn't use an HDD, or at least wasn't ever intended to, then there's not much use for an accelerometer. Perhaps it's there to switch the orientation of the screen depending on how the phone is handled, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that either.
