Aside from being a utilitarian eyesore, mousetraps gained international stardom as the best way to bait and kill rodents. However, they’re a one trick pony. So in a new effort to move from behind your toilet to a place of prominence on your kitchen counter, the duo of mousetraps and cheese have once again combined their forces with the “Oh Snap!” cheeseboard. With a stainless steel cheese slicer and cutting board base, the image of mousetraps can now be associated with breaking cheese, not necks.

If you are one of the throngs of people who consider the camera quality on your cellphone as a major selling point, you may be interested in checking out the Nokia N90. But keep in mind that high quality doesn’t come cheap (currently $700 -$800.)
Reviews:
CNET: “It’s a startling combination of image capture, music playback, and communications capabilities in a clever but bulky Transformers-like package. However, at more than $900 for an unlocked model, the Nokia N90 is not for the faint of wallet.”
MobileBurn: “With all the hype surrounding the N-series from Nokia, I had expected a more stellar performance from the N90. I’m not saying that it’s not good. I’m just saying that the Nokia N90 is a capable mobile phone, not a great one. It does take some great looking photos, it has a slew of features, and a multi-config clamshell design that would make any Transformers fan go wild. However, the N90’s unstable software, hefty bulk, and price tag just doesn’t justify its image taking capabilities and glorious hi-res screen.”
PC Magazine: “When is a phone just too big to handle? The Nokia N90 is loaded with features, including a 2-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and an amazingly high-resolution screen, but it’s just too big and heavy to rock the camera-phone world.”
InfoSync World: “An epitomy of compromise, the N90 shows that Nokia is still capable of delivering products with cutting edge features that can’t be beat. Yet, the superb imaging capabilities and glorious screen of this smartphone are countered by its hefty bulk and minor issues with its external display. As always, however, the Finnish maker hits the sweet spots with reliability and connectivity, and also delivers a broad software suite which – with the exception of synchronization – is certain to keep future owners content.”
Bottom Line: The Nokia N90 comes with Nerd Approval – but only for those who focus heavily on camera functionality. If you are willing to spend the money on a product that is loaded with features but may be a little impratical as an every day phone, the Nokia N90 may be worth picking up.
