Having set up a dedicated blog for just 1 phone must have its reasons… 
I think it is a nice moment to share with you why for me the Nokia N95 is the ultimate mobile phone:
As we have long passed the point that a mobile phone is just for making phone calls, the list of requirements I want my phone to reach has grown over the years too. Here we go, this is what I search for in a phone:
- Quad-band [check!]
- Bluetooth [check!]
- High resolution display [check!]
- WLAN [check!]
- Camera (Min. 2 Megapixel) [check!]
- Email support [check!]
- Storage capacity [check!]
- GPS / Navigation functionality [check!]
- Document reader (at least PDF) [check!]
- Radio [check!]
- MP3 player [check!]
- Less than 125 grams [check!]
- Full qwerty keyboard [nope!]
- Long standy- and speak-time [check!]
- Clear and easy to personalize interface [check!]
As you can see I only have to accept the non-presence of a full qwerty keyboard. While making the list I thought it nice if I could easily blog from my phone while making use of a wi-fi connection (Thank God free wi-fi-zones start to pop up more and more here in Holland too!). But on the other hand I think I prefer a normal sized keyboard over some cranky thumb-board, so normal T9 will do for SMS. For longer posts I think I will look for some fold-out keyboard (does that exist with Bluetooth too?).
The list is based on daily use needs, both work and private.
I wonder what the people who read this look for in a phone?

Ahem, well, so it does… even made by Nokia!
Just found the link to the Nokia SU-8W… Bluetooth wireless full-size qwerty keyboard.
That is sweet!

Nice list, can really relate to it. Well, do not need a full keyboard either!
