Calling last year's Nokia N95 "peerless" in terms of sheer feature set - even compared against the coveted iPhone - PC Magazine is simply raving about the new and improved Nokia N95, as luck would have it - a U.S. model.

Improvements in the new Nokia N95 include:

• 8 gigs of memory - like the latest European model (though unfortunately without the added memory card slot)
• raised bumps on the buttons - specifically the music access buttons, making it easier to find them and control your music listening without fiddling too much with your phone
• Easy access web services - like Yahoo! Search, Flickr (Yahoo!'s photo sharing service), and Amazon's MobiPocket e-book reader

Most importantly, of course, the U.S. model works on AT&T's HSPDA system high-speed network.
