Mobile Choice Magazine got their hands on an early version of the Nokia N95 and had this to say:

Verdict

The N95 has a mouth-watering feature set that will get early adopters everywhere champing at the bit. Nokia has done a bang-up job keeping the size down considering its power boost, but while early signs suggest Nokia has a classic convergence device on its hands, questions still remain over whether this mini-computer’s OS and battery can handle the multi-tasking. We can’t wait to get our hands on a full working model.

Our mouths are watering already.

Ain’t it the truth?

Really, they do.

My Favorite Gadgets Pick: Nokia E61 | geeksugar

“I Love my Nokia E61. The Symbian operating system is the best and the browser is the only one on the market, other than Opera Software (which you have to download to your mobile) that has enabled AJAX. AJAX makes your browsing experience faster and richer. I can get my Outlook mail, search my computer, manage my calendar and access all my contacts- even when my PC is turned off. I suggest you buy the unlocked version of the E61, as it offers WiFi and the Cingular E62 has disabled WiFi. I believe there will be a locked version that is WiFi capable soon.”

Told ya.

Wine Cellar Must-Haves - Forbes.com

If you have fewer than 200 bottles, you probably don’t need to construct a cellar, unless it’s going to be a showpiece in the dining room Otherwise, you’re better off getting a special wine refrigerator that maintains the temperature and humidity.But if you designate a space for your collection, you’ll discover the pleasure of taking a short walk to the cellar and choosing a wine for that evening’s meal. Having a cellar also means there’s a good chance you won’t run out, and that may be justification enough.

And if you have more than 200 bottles of wine at any time, you aren’t drinking it fast enough.

Blackberry 8703e - Review by PC Magazine

Sleek, professional, and high-class all the way, the BlackBerry 8703e is a great solution for business users who need a powerful messaging handheld that doubles as their primary cell phone. The 8703e, like the 8700g and 8700c that preceded it, is missing some important features, namely multimedia playback, which we’ll get to below. Nonetheless, it’s one of the best choices out there for a dedicated e-mail, phone, and Web-browsing smart device.

The Blackberry’s penetration behind the corporate firewall should keep the company large and in charge, Apple phone or no.

Garmin StreetPilot c580 - GPS receiver printer friendly version - Car GPS (Navigation) - CNET Reviews

Like the rest of the StreetPilot series, the Garmin StreetPilot c580 won’t take up much room in your car. Measuring 4.4 inches wide by 3.2 inches high by 2.2 inches deep and weighing 9.0 ounces, it’s easily transportable for multiple vehicle use and comes with an easy-to-install windshield mount. Garmin also keeps things simple, with minimal controls. There’s a volume dial, a USB port, and a power button on the right. We especially like the external volume control since you don’t have to fiddle with the menus to change this setting; we did notice, however, that it’s a bit sensitive and jumps several volume levels if you’re not careful. On the left side, you’ll find an SD expansion slot and an external antenna port, while the power connector and the mic-in and audio-out ports are located on the back.

Sweet and simple.
