— -- Cell phones have become more than just dialing devices. They are now the Internet, a camera and an mp3 player -- simultaneously. But few phones excel at all of these functions.

Nokia's N95 multimedia phone is an exception, providing a powerful camera, an excellent media player, a capable Internet device and a built-in GPS -- not to mention a high-quality phone.

The camera quality of the N95 is vastly superior to any other cell phone cameras and often matches that of many point-and-shoot cameras. Featuring a 5-megapixel lens, the camera is capable of taking high-quality images and video.

The phone features a unique two-way slide that allows users to make phone calls from one side and access media player controls from another. The device supports a large variety of multimedia file formats and includes an FM radio.

The N95 can connect to the Internet via a wireless or a 3G network, which drastically improves browsing speeds. Unlike many phones, the device lets you open and read a large variety of file formats, including PDF files, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and even PowerPoint presentations.

The N95 includes a built-in GPS that covers 100 countries and 15 million locations, at no additional cost.

Additionally, users can install third party applications such as the SlingPlayer Mobile, which allows users to watch and access the Slingbox over a HSDPA network.

Given the built-in features and countless possibilities, this truly is the perfect all-in-one mobile device.
