The best mobile phone on the market right now

If you want a phone that is good at everything, choosing a top-of-the-range Nokia S60 smartphone has always been a surefire bet. These are phones that tick all the boxes, continually win all the awards, and that allow you to get all the latest technology without compromise.

The latest in this prestigious line - the N95 - however, has taken the concept of the do-everything phone to a completely new level. A year ago, the N80 bowled us over with its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and macro-focusing camera. Now its successor not just builds on the 3G specification, it sets a new benchmark for every other phone to follow.

Nearly every aspect of the phone has improved. The resolution of the camera rises to 5 megapixels, and an automatic focusing system is added to help harness this resolution. The screen, meanwhile, has nearly doubled in size - and it can now shoot video footage that challenges that taken with a standalone camcorder. And you now not only get 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity - there is HSDPA support too, allowing you to supercharge your broadband access speed.

The real headline-grabber, however, is that this phone now incorporates its own satellite navigation system. Not only does it have a built-in GPS antenna but it provides free access to a world of road maps, allowing you to find out where you are, and how to get from A to B wherever you happen to be. Forget the Bluetooth-connected modules and add-on mapping that are popular on other S60 models - the N95 offers an alternative to your TomTom straight out of the box.

Despite the addition of the 2.6-inch, 16-million-colour 320 x 240-pixel screen (and the Sat Nav aerial) the N95 is surprisingly not much bigger than the N80. It is very slightly longer and wider, but compensates this by shaving a little on the depth. This is no super-slim handset, but for a fully-accessorised 3G phone with such a powered up palmtop computer onboard, you can't help but be impressed by the 120g weight.

This phone has been carefully designed to help you get to the things that matter with the minimum of fuss. As with all multifunction devices, there are lots of facilities that you have to scroll through menus and search through icons to find.

1.For Does Everything I need and more! / Against Cannot think of anything

Basically this phone almost replaces my laptop when I am away! I can link to the internet to check mail and surf, I can watch divx movies and the also channel them through the TV, I can listen to music, take good quality pictures and video, Garmin GPS works brilliantly with this (not supplied with the phone) and also as a mountainbiker, the viewranger maps allow 1:25,000 maps to be viewed in 3d. I can also link my calender to that on the phone as well as get additional software such as the english dictionary and voice recorders to allow me to record as a dictaphone or record conversations on the phone and just in case I get any "nasties" software, Kapersky have a brilliant anti virus for the phone........Oh yes I can also use it as a phone......Sheer Brilliance!
