Nokia N91

While N90 concentrated too much on the video capabilities of the phone, Nokia N91 has invested in its audio capabilities making it an ideal music companion.

Nokia N91 comes with an amazing 4 GB built-in hard drive. Like other N series phones Nokia N91 too comes with a 2 megapixel camera. It is basically a music phone. Copying music to your N91 can be as easy as drag and drop – your PC will recognize your phone via USB cable and there is nothing to stop you from copying your favorite music easy and quick. The sound quality is really something with CD quality output.

If you are thinking of buying an ipod and a camera phone, then you have got N91. With its 4 GB inbuilt hard drive it will be your ipod phone. You can store up to 3000 songs. Easy to download and manage music. You can enjoy music up to 12.5 hours. It comes with stereo headset with remote control!!!! With Bluetooth and wi-fi you can share your music with other supported phones in close proximity.

Being a music phone it is designed for great music experience. Special keys are assigned for volume control and playback functions. Justifying its features, it has 8 band equalizer, Dynamic Range Compression, mixer, stereo balance and stereo widening. You will be able to listen to music and still attend calls – auto pause feature enables you to attend calls quickly and your music will resume once the call ends.

The display too is reasonably good – 208 x 176 pixels, TFT with 256 k colors. Picture quality is astonishing, it uses Carl Seiz lens.

It has a talk time of 4 hours and a standby time of 190 hours. Though these are the claimed hours as usual there will be a sag in the battery hours which normally users complain about.

The silver casing though gives it a tough look is difficult to be kept clean. The battery sucks with the wi-fi. For some reason ergonomics has not been Nokia’s strong point. This is evident in N91 too. The # key and 0 key are too close to the sliding phone making it difficult for the fingers. You might as well overlook these flaws if only the pricing is little friendly to the wallet. It is priced around $800!!! You might as well get a Laptop for this price.

Nokia N90

Nokia N90 is a revolutionary model that outsmarts all fellow models. It has a long list of features that are exclusive to itself. There is some serious thinking that has gone behind the designing of this model. N90 has worked on Nokia 6260 problems and successfully overcome too. Nokia N90 is certainly feature packed but in this endeavor it has loses on several other essential factors.

It has dared to separate the camera module from the conventional designs. It has a 2 megapixel camera (1600 x 1200 pixels) with auto-focus and 20x digital zoom.

It has high screen resolution and great video quality. The positioning of the speakers allows it to be louder than other models. It also comes with integrated hands-free speaker.

You can have more than one phone number and email address stored per entry – so you don’t have to have too many entries for the same contact which sometime confuses you. You can also have thumbnail pictures for the entries.

You can make your multimedia message interesting with video and audio clips. You can as well take it to the next step and have multi-slide presentation.

Nokia N90 has advanced camera fetures – it makes you think more than a phone it is more of a camera. It allows you to shoot with six different scene settings. It is bulky enough to incorporate a flash that can cover up to 1.5 m. It has automatic flash modes and anti red-eye feature.

Nokia N90’s XpressPrint allows transfer of photos directly to printers that support or kiosk through Bluetooth technology, Multimedia Card and also through PictBridge-compliant printer using USB cable.

Nokia N90 uses Standard Li-Ion Battery 760 mAh that allows talk time up to a maximum of 3 hours and a standby time of up to 12 days. But this only seems to be a claim by the company – in day today usage you will find it is lot lesser than what is specified.

You can have online storage space for your contacts including passwords. It also comes with Personal Information Manager that allows you to manage your calendar, to-do list and contact list. It has a huge memory internal dynamic memory of up to 27MB and an expandable memory of 64 MB which is optional.

It has extremely poor ergonomics and heavy. Single handed messaging is very difficult if not impossible. You are forced to use both the hands while using the camera. Though N90 blows its trumpet as a multimedia phone it has forgotten to include usual headphone jack input. In spite of being extremely expensive, you have to spend extra on earphones. Moreover the audio quality has nothing to boast and you can do very little about it. Moreover the operations are painfully slow. One of the reasons for this could be because all the operations are running in the background by default. You have to manually exit unnecessary operations. With its slow user interface if you want to capture anything using the camera you have to anticipate it at least by 5 seconds. It is feature packed but not user friendly.
