The only unlocked (which means it is not tied to just one wireless service) phone I tested, the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N97 crams a great digital camera and mess of features into a fairly chunky but still pocketable package.
Because it's not subsidized by a wireless carrier, it's pricey: $699 through Nokia's online store, or $599 through Amazon.com.
The N97, which has a big, bright touch screen and easy-to-use slide-out QWERTY keyboard on its side, sports a 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens on the back and extremely bright dual LED flash.
The camera took great shots in bright and low light, and I had fun playing with the different settings, which range from simple color filters to light sensitivity and image sharpness options.
The digital zoom wasn't that impressive, as it seemed to blur photos. There is plenty of space to store the photos you do like, though, as the phone includes 32 GB of internal memory. There's also a microSD memory card slot for adding more.
If money is no object and you're looking for a handset that can do a bit of everything, this may be the one.
