Why do you want a week's worth of battery life? A full day of heavy use is about all I need, since I can always recharge the device while I sleep. I never understand why the average person would need more than a day or two of battery life out of a mobile device.
There will always be a niche for vinyl among the hipster douchebag crowd, the same people who are keeping vinyl afloat.

I personally hate Polaroid myself because it lacks the "warmth" of daguerreotypes.
Actually, Chuck had a N80 in the early episodes of the show, not an N95.

One major N95 user I've noticed on TV is Gwen on Torchwood. The cool part is that they actually show the real UI of the phone and don't overlay some impossible screen using visual effects like many sci-fi shows do.
Here's a link:

Anandtech tested a MacBook Pro with a $4k 128GB SSD, and in many cases it was actually a little slower than a 7200 RPM laptop drive. The application loading times were about twice as fast, however, but it's probably not worth 4k just to have Final Cut open a few seconds faster. As far as reliability goes, for $4k you could take a second MacBook Pro along as a backup and you'd still be $2k ahead in price.
You know for a work created by an industrial design lecturer, you'd think that the phones would look a little less like ass. Seriously, I don't get the "strip down the phones, glue ugly shit on" aesthetic.
They left out the complimentary quality of service monitoring, provided by the kind folks at the NSA.
After seeing this, it just doesn't seem like it'll be long until some really starts making the Dethklok Dethphones.
Has Honda been secretly taken over by Cybus Industries, or have I been watching too much Doctor Who lately?
Let's not forget that right now there is one huge problem with getting OS X up and running on current PC hardware: no EFI on shipping Windows machines.

Looking at the work that the OSX86 Project has done, there seems to be workarounds for this, but nothing that at this point is clean enough for a shipping product. Also, the reliance on SSE2 to do a lot of the tasks that AltiVec used to do will also cause huge amounts of confusion among everyday users unless Apple can get the Dell to start adding "Works with OS X" stickers to their new systems.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
