16. Nokia N95

We’d lampoon this Frankenphone–it features a 5-megapixel camera, a GPS receiver, a Wi-Fi modem, and 160 megabytes of memory–if it weren’t so well thought out. Instead of crashing together all the competing functions onto one confusing menu, Nokia developed a dual-direction slider that opens vertically to reveal the phone’s keypad, and horizontally to reveal the music- and video-player buttons. It’s not cheap, but Nokia’s policy of selling unlocked phones should allow you to use it with any GSM-band carrier you want. And what price is freedom, really? $700.

Number one is a Zune … come on! I’m still placing my bets on the new Nokia Communicator. I’m prepared to be wowed. Throw everything and the kitchen sink into a device that has a sliding full size keyboard and you can call me one happy guy.

    The only thing I don´t understand is what they are saying about “Nokias policy to sell unlocked phones”. Is that only in the U.S or what?? For sure Nokia are selling locked and branded phones in Europe at least…
