Nokia N90
After having multiple problems with my new Moterola VR RAZR, I decided to go back to Nokia mobiles as I have always found them more reliable.
I wanted a phone with all the latest features and furthermore, one that would last me for a while. I had been looking through many Nokia phones, and all though this one was not the cheapest, it was highly recommended time after time.
This being the Nokia N90
Not only does this mobile look stylish it offers all the latest features that many other mobiles do.
-------------------------------- Nokia N90- The Look --------------------------------
This phone is silver and blue, and has a camera that you can rotate. It is slim looking in the photos but not one of the lightest mobiles around weighing at 173 g. This is a flip phone style mobile. Once you lift up the front part of the phone, which is the camera that also rotates, the keypad is then viewable. It has your normal 1-9 number keys with a circular button at the top to access your menus, with 2 extra buttons either side of the circular button to help you navigate your phone options. In my personal opinion I think it looks the business, and one of the better looking mobiles in the Nokia N-Series. The antenna is internal so you have not got any annoying aerials sticking out. I have included pictures below. All in all, don't worry you won't be ashamed of your mobile!
-------------------------------------- Nokia N-90- The Features --------------------------------------
The features on this phone are state of the art. Especially the camera itself. You can view all the specifications (which I am not going to bore you with) on the Nokia website - www.nokia.co.uk.
The Camera and Screen-
You have two screens to this phone. One on the front of the mobile, and once you lift the front part of the phone, on the back you also have another screen, therefore giving you two ergonomic modes for instant photo and video capture. The camera lens itself uses Carl Zeiss optics, which I have said in my reviews before are one of the best makes for optical shooting. It operates in different modes, the clamshell handset can be used in shape of a regular phone, in a video recording mode - held much like a camcorder - and in a still shot mode with the lens barrel rotating and the external display acting as the viewfinder. At 65K colours 128 x 128 pixels it's quite a bit smaller than the internal display, but certainly is not a major problem with the design and still works very well. Nokia also included more advanced imaging functionality such as autofocus and a macro mode in the N90 than that of any other in the N-series . The built-in flash can be set to either on/off, automatic or red eye reduction modes, with users also able to adjust brightness and white balance. Pictures can be taken in resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels, however the N90 is also able to record video in CIF format at 352 x 288 pixels, the quality of which is impressive - and even more so when viewed on the high resolution screen of the N90. It is a 2 mega pixel camera, roughly 113mm x 51mm x 24mm in size. When twisting the screen sideways photography mode is switched on which will allow you to create videos and stills. You may take stills with the flip closed, however, in this mode videos can't be taken. It features an integrated flash, making your night shots, or dark gloomy conditions much better quality. The camera also twists round 180 degrees to take your own video or snapshot, after all, we do live in a vein world. You can also edit your images with the software on your phone, allowing you to either have more fun with the photo by including funny borders or something, or changing the contrast of your photo, weather it be to make it lighter or darker. The shutter and camera menu joystick are located towards the edge of the N90. Did I forget to mention the camera had 20x zoom?
As I have already stated, the phone has two screens. The main screen uses 262000 colours (TFT) 352 x 416 px, and the external screen 65000 colours (TFT) 128 x 128 px. They both are pleasing and not too strenuous to the eye. You can adjust brightness to the screens if so needed anyway.
Function Modes-
The N90 can operate in four different modes.
Closed Mode:- This is where the flip cover rests on the keypad, allowing you to take stills and viewing them by your external screen. The camera barrel at the top of the phone also turns 180 degrees, making it look like a small standard video camera in this mode. Look at picture 2, to see what the phone looks like in this mode.
Camera Mode:- When the camera barrel is swivelled it then changes from closed mode to camera mode.
Imaging mode:- Ok, this probably being the most important mode for imaging purposes. This is where your actual flip part of the phone swivels. To get to the imaging mode you flip down the bottom part of the device (with the keypad) 90 degrees until the hinge part locks into place. You then flip the top part up towards you 90 degrees to a vertical position. The N90 is now easily held in your hand and the screen display serves as the camera viewfinder. If you look at the outside display you will see an image of a camera. The camera capture button and joystick are now readily accessible with your right thumb and rotating the camera barrel will help you frame your shot. You will also find the display goes into landscape mode and the camera application launches automatically. You can only use the camera or gallery functions in the imaging mode, but this does allow you to watch video in landscape mode.
Fold Open mode:- The most common mode on all flip phones, the fold open mode allows you access your phone like you would normally do on any other flip phone by opening it vertically 90 degrees. The display will appear in portrait mode and the keypad will be fully accessible. At the bottom of the display you can see the light sensor that is used to adjust brightness on the display and keypad. You will use this mode the most when you are just making normal calls or going through your menus to access different features such as games.
Moving on from the function modes, the N90 also features 2-way video call capability. Now this looks a great feature, but unfortunately and obviously you need someone else who has this feature on their phone, and as yet my list of contacts do not have that sort of feature, so I would advise that if this is a particular interest of this phone for you, to look at other reviews on the web from users that have tired this function. However, from what I have already read, this is a great feature, and in terms of image speed and sound quality, reviews have said it is very good, but I would still advise you to take a read yourself.
The phone also allows you to do voice commands. Instead of searching through my phone book, I can speak a name into the mobile and the phone will search for a match. Now what makes this different to other voice command mobiles is that you do not have to pre-record your commands, it searches for the way it is spelt, which is very clever in theory, but in practice it has let me down a few times, finding matches that were not of what I have said. However that just could be down to the dodgy accent I have, and to be honest it isn't a main feature for me as it is just as quick to get the name out of your phone book by pressing a few buttons. You do have speed dial and automatic redial just like most phones, so phoning someone rather quickly is never much of a hassle.
The mobile is quite easy to use in any mode. The menus are clear and self explanatory. I didn't actually find much use for the handbook as it was that easy. The menus are easy to navigate, especially sending txts or searching for a contact in your phonebook. The screen displays all options or information clearly. Finding things like your photo stills, videos or other multimedia is also a piece of cake, by pressing options and going to your gallery. With the use of your camera and the different modes, I would advise a read through the handbook, but like most mobiles, once you have played with it for a few hours it soon becomes clear how to use, so experiment the different modes and find which one suits you the most, which is exactly what I did. The battery life on this mobile is more than good, I use my N90 all the time, and charge it once every three days, which is not bad at all if you are continuously on the phone.
Memory - I was quite impressed to know that this phone has a large memory for images and videos. You get 31MB of internal storage plus a reduced size Multimedia Card (MMC) to keep you shooting - enough for an entire feature-length movie.
Print - Printing your images is possible with this mobile by selecting images directly from the Gallery with just a few pushes of a button. With the Nokia XpressPrint printing solution, users can select from a range of mobile printing options, including PictBridge, where the handset is connected directly to a compatible photo printer with a USB cable; wireless printing over Bluetooth wireless technology; or by extracting the Reduced Size Dual Voltage Multimedia Card (RS-MMC) from the side of the phone and inserting it into a compatible printer. ---------------------------- N90- Connectivity ----------------------------
The phone will come with a USB cable for your computer, which allows you to download multimedia both on and off your phone too and from your computer. This works very well, and I have imported a few photo stills off my phone onto my computer with ease. You also have bluetooth, in which you can send and receive all sorts of multimedia from and too other mobiles, and with your PC. Improved Web compatibility with support for HTML 4.01, including support for elements such as image maps, background images, and frames which is very good for those who use the internet on their mobiles.
---------------------------------------- N90- Price and Accessories ----------------------------------------
When I brought this phone it was only available on the T-Mobile network, but now I have seen it available on vodafone and 02. Some contracts may offer this phone for free. As far as I am aware it is still not yet available on pay as you go, but that might be just because it is new, as most phones do eventually go on to the pay as you go tariff.
You can expect to pay around £300 for this phone now, and it is advised to have a strong browse around for deals. Like many mobiles however, once the next new one in the series comes out, this will no doubt drop dramatically in price.
The accessories which came with my phone were a car charger and a hands free headset.
-------------------------------------------------- N90- Anything that I might of missed? --------------------------------------------------
Although I do not play many games on any mobiles that I have owned, these do have them, furthermore, with the Java Script feature this phone possesses, you can download games to your phone without taking up hardly any room, and delete them again whenever you want.
The ring tones are polyphonic, and although they have a good selection already integrated onto the phone, you can download and share many more, without it taking up hardly any memory at all. ----------------------------------- N90- My Overall Opinion -----------------------------------
I am mostly very pleased with the Nokia N90. It's major plus is the photography and video features of the phone, which have far exceeded my expectations, and are better than any other phone I have used. The phone was easy to navigate and use, with it all being mostly self explanatory, and not having to dig into the handbook. Nokia didn't go for a light phone, and looks are deceiving with this one. It is heavy for your normal day mobiles that we are used too of late, but that certainly did not put me off this one. The only disadvantages that I found was that this had no Vibrate mode, so when you select the phone onto silent mode you will not know when anybody's ringing or you have a txt unless you are looking at it. This for me was a bit of a let down as most phones have Vibrate modes, and I was surprised to learn this hadn't.
However, apart from that little niggle, I really am pleased with it, although heavy, it don't take up loads of room in my pocket, I am pleased with all the features, and after having it for about three weeks, I have had no problems with it.
I would recommend this mobile, and rate it 8 out of 10.

...I heard about the new Nokia N90 with all of its functionality, I had to have one! This review will give you my opinion as a user - I will not go into the technical specifications too much as I'm sure you will have looked all of that up on any of the hundreds of mobile phone providers websites!
The first thing that struck me about the phone was the size and weight of the handset. I had previously owned a Samsung D500, so the difference in size was ... ...spot on.
Having a Nokia N90 in your pocket is the same as having a top notch digital camera and video camera on you all the time! You never have to miss a moment! The quality of both still images and video is astonishing for a mobile phone which I'm sure is partly down to the Carl Zeiss optics. It is 2 megapixels and a x20 zoom and autofocus. The camera is mounted on a swivel on the top of the phone, you can take pictures when the phone is closed ...

Advantages: 2 Mega Pixel Camera, True Video, Style, Easy of use, Poser value :-) Disadvantages: Memory supplied too small
...handsets, I thought that the Nokia N90 would be a good handset to opt for this time. Boy, was I right.
The phone itself, is very stylish, and isnt lacking in any features. After all - it is 2006.
The phone itself is very smart, designed in a two tone silver and black effect which sets it off very well. It also makes this handset stand out from others currently on the market from other manufacturers.First glance at the phone, and some may think ... ...the largest either ( i.e Nokia 9500 )
Looking at the phone first of all from the front, the design is very clear. The front displays the 'External' screen, which has many uses. This includes the ability to read txt messages - without having to 'flip' the phone open. This can be handy. The screen also acts as the 'view finder' when using the camera function. On 'idle' the external screen displays the current time. The top of the phone itself, has ...

...for around £30 (not from Nokia though). This would be recommended if you want to take advantage of the MP3 player. The quality of qhich is on par with any other on the market and means you will only need one device in your pocket instead or 2! Always a bonus. It is however, a little tedious transfering songs to your phone. You use Nokia PC suite to do the transfer, and unless you know which directory to put the tracks into you could end up with the ... ...well. The problem with just the tracks is that they can only be played individually. Albums though, can play the tracks within them, or between albums, repeatedly, one after the other or randomly.
The camera is 2 Mega pixel (a first I believe for a mobile phone). Very capable of producing 6 x 4 prints or even 7 x 5. The quality is good enough for snap shots. Without a zoom however it rather lacks functionality, but is fantastic at a party. To turn ...

Advantages: Twist Camera, Dozens of applications, Sleek great look Disadvantages: Bad LCD display, Cover wears off quickley, Pricey when bought without plan
Well, It's a good-great phone when being used at full features and for BUSINESS!. Though I bought it as an offer from Orange a year ago, It's 2 Mega Pixels camera twist ability was fascinating despite it's bad display (I mean the LCD Screen). As all LCDs, it darkens in daylight, which makes using it at outdoors totally awful.
But despite the rundown screen, the reasonable sound quality, It supports a dozen and a half of applications, Memory card ...

Advantages: Great Design, Superb Camera Disadvantages: Size, inbuilt memory to small, no vibrate
...new and unique design from Nokia with a front screen that can rotate like a digital camcorder and a camera with can twist this way and that to get the perfect view you require.
When you first see this phone, the design makes it stand out but the real problem is the shear size of the thing, it will certainly fill your hand! but this is due to having built in 3G so make and recieve video calls so in the end, the size of the phone enables you to have ... ...end of the call.
The screen on the front of the phone is very clear and can be used to view missed calls and especially the ability to read txt messages which is very very handy! The camera on the phone is by Carl Zeiss Optics who have been located in many top end cameras the last few years, making the picture quality on this phone absolutely fantastic.
When the phone is open the phone menu can be accessed by a 'Menu' key on the keypad. The one ...

...brilliant. PuzzleSlider is a simple puzzle game that I have not had the patience to play with yet. Aero Mission 3D is a 3D jet fighter game, it takes a bit of time getting used to and adjusting to the controls but after that it is very hard to put down.
Other useful apps you can find are a World Clock, along with a copy of HP Print. HP Print will let you print your photos directly to a compatible HP printer.
In the end the K750i is the best GSM phone on the market in my humble opinion, it has everything from easy to use software, perhaps the best camera in a phone and loads of goodies.
The only phone I think that may give it a run for it's money will be the soon to be launched NokiaN90....
