In Pictures: Slick New Cell Phones for Fall

Now available in a North American, 3G-specific release, the Nokia N95 is a feature-laden device with premium features: WCDMA HSDPA and quad-band GSM connectivity, assisted GPS, 802.11g Wi-Fi, a music player, stereo speakers, and a 5-megapixel camera (plus a secondary camera, seen here at upper right, for videoconferencing). From the back, the N95 looks just like a slim point-and-shoot camera; when I tried it, I found that its images were livelier and of far better quality than those of competing camera phones. Images looked great on the phone's 2.6-inch, 240-by-320-pixel (QVGA), 16-million-color display. The screen can sit vertically or horizontally (more on that later), and it shows sharp text and bright, colorful images.
