It looks like the Nokia N90. Ritz is going to be the first US dealer with it–it’s a high-end cameraphone, so apparently it goes to the camera stores first. Ritz will be selling it for around $400 with activation. That’s cheaper then expected–I heard rumors that the N90 would be in the $700+ range, even with activation. I’m still waiting for the N91 or E70, but I’m feeling a bit better about them. If Nokia can get the N90 into US consumers’ hands in a reasonable timeframe, maybe the other two won’t be too far behind.

PhotographyBLOG says that the Nokia N90 has been named the European Phone of the Year.
This is obviously just marketing fluff, as the N90 has only been shipping for a week or so, but it looks like a cool phone, even if it is kind of huge. It’s pretty obvious that the N90 and N91 are Nokia’s current showpieces for what they’re going to be able to do with next-generation phones–the N90 has a huge screen and a decent camera, while the N91 has real multitasking, 802.11g, and a hard drive.

It looks like the Nokia N90 is shipping. This is Nokia’s high-end cameraphone, with a 2 MP camera, a real lens, and a HVGA-ish display.
I’m still waiting for the N91.

Om says that the Nokia 6682 is now availably directly from Nokia’s website for $599. The 6682 is Nokia’s current high-end business phone–you can spend more on one of their communicator models or on a fashion phone, but if you’re looking for a regular phone with lots of features, the 6682’s about as good as you’re going to do in GSM-land.
The site that started this also mentions that the Nokia N90 is nearly available. The N90 is basically a specialized camera-phone, with a real lens and a formfactor that’s designed to make the camera more usable. It also has the highest-resolution screen that I’ve ever seen on a phone–352x416. If it had WiFi like the N91, then I’d probably be drooling over it. As it is, I’m waiting to see what’s available in February when my current Cingular plan runs out. If the N91 actually includes a SIP client (as has been rumored), then I’ll be very tempted.
