    The Good: The Nokia N95 (8GB) features 8GB of internal memory and has a spacious 2.8-inch display and 3G support. The smartphone also includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera, and robust multimedia capabilities.

    The Bad: The 8GB N95 can be sluggish at times, and call quality could have been better. There's no expansion slot, and it's also very expensive.

    The Bottom Line: Offering ample memory, a larger screen, and 3G support, the 8GB Nokia N95 is sure to please those looking for the ultimate in multimedia/cell phone convergence, but you'll pay for the features, and there are some performance issues.

    Review Summary: The Nokia N95-4 has been sold in mainstream retail stores for about a month. And, for a little longer than that, Nokia has given us a copy to review. Is Nokia's fourth go-around with the N95 one that can stand up to iPhone 3G? Read more to find out....

    The Verdict: And again, we do not consider the N95-4 a viable worldwide phone for use. It lacks UMTS 2100, and as such, the fact that it is unlocked really is diminished. A $760 phone should be able to take advantage of 3G abroad

    Review Summary: A very feature-rich phone marred by difficult software.

    The Verdict: Nokia has often saved its best smartphones for Europe -- and it's a move that has cost the company North American marketshare as the iPhone and other devices pass it by. The N95 8GB North America Model (NAM), however, is evidence that the company is
