Answer:
As a mac user make sure you pick up the apps at http://europe.nokia.com/mac. The iSync driver will let you sync contacts and calendars while media transfer will make sure the phone works nicely with iPhoto and iTunes. It should work as a modem if you follow the steps listed http://blog.bittube.com/2007/04/24/using-the-n95-as-a-bluetooth-modem-on-os-x/. As is often the case on OS X, if you don't want to configure something you can spend cash on a http://www.novamedia.de/e_pages/e_produkte_mac_l2n.html to do it for you (though in this case it's a very expensive app). If you like to run or bike, http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/SportsTracker/index.html is pretty fun use of GPS. It keeps stats on your excercise and generates kml files so you can admire your route in google earth afterwards. There are all kinds of other apps out there too, from http://www.aut.bme.hu/portal/SymTorrent.aspx?lang=en to http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php to http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/.

If you're a hacker, get the Python package and code away. Calcium is a kick-arse calculator. Google Maps. It doesn't use the GPS, but the UI is great.
