BlackBerry Storm
No tech wish-list would be complete without a phone, and I'm giving the nod to BlackBerry's Storm.
My Nokia N80 and Samsung G600 are looking tired, and I could use an all-in-one replacement that offers e-mail functionality that's second to none. In steps the BlackBerry Storm, a gorgeous handset equipped with an iPhone-like display that measures 3.25in and provides a 480 x 360 resolution.
Throw in a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and auto-flash, geo-tagging courtesy of the built-in GPS, and 1GB of built-in memory, and you've quite the handset.

Nikon D90
The rise of DSLR cameras has allowed the amateur photographer to capture professional images, so why not get in on the act?
If you're looking to get started and want to work up to an advanced level, Nikon's D90 could be the right choice of kit. The camera's armed with Nikon's self-cleaning 12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS image sensor, and if you want to try your hand at video, too, it'll shoot 720p at 24fps.

But let's make this a little more interesting, if you had to choose for Santa to drop by with just one of the aforementioned ten, which one would it be?
