All in One Phone

About the only thing the Nokia 9290 Communicator won’t do is microwave popcorn. This digital wireless phone allows the user to view documents and spreadsheets and does quintuple duty: as a PC with a qwerty keyboard; a PDA to help you manage your appointments and contact lists; an e-mail program, giving you access to send and receive e-mail with attachments; an Internet conduit with wireless access to the Web; and a multimedia player so that you can view video and digital images and listen to music. This technological jack-of-all-trades sells for $599. See www.nokiausa.com.

We Won’t Get Lost Again

If you’re still hesitant to ask for directions?and who isn’t??be sure to ask for a Magellan SporTrak GPS receiver this year.

It’s lightweight, rugged and waterproof, and it retails for $170. To locate one for yourself, check out www.magellangps.com.

Plasma Infusion

Plasma TVs are all the rage, and it’s easy to see why. Samsung’s 42-inch, enhanced-definition digital plasma flat-screen TV has a 16:9 aspect ratio for crisp colors and flicker-free images. It’s also just 4 inches deep and weighs a little more than 70 pounds?perfect for picturelike wall-mounting (if you can hide those DVD and VCR cords). Cost: $5,000. See www.samsung.com for more information.
