The Nokia N90 multimedia is an advanced and inspirational multimedia device.

Nokia N90 Cellular Phone Review

All in all, this is a very good phone and I’m not disappointed with it. But still, I will be waiting anxiously for the next generations, the evolution of N90, N91 and N92 phones, where Nokia will hopefully combine the three phone’s strong features and take care of the shorcomings into one single almost-perfect device.

Pros:Â

1600×1200 camera takes high resolution pictures - better than needed for the web
VHS quality videoÂ
Syncs to Outlook (but not Outlook syncing to Exchange!)Â
Lots of other great softwareÂ
Comes with chargers, converter so you can use an old style Nokia charger, and a hands free kit.

Cons:

The pictures are not of particularly good quality. They tend to get a bit of a haze over them.
The video is at 15 frames per second, not the normal 30 frames a second.Â
Big big phone, bigger than your phone at home likely.

Overall I think this is a great phone which does everything it says it will. I can surf the net, take pictures and video, and it is very quick to turn on the video or photography functions. The size makes it a little clunky but it is also kind of refreshing after using micro cell phones.

And if you’re a parent it is a great way to always have a camera or video camera at your side to capture what your kids are doing.

Beware: I’ve just learned that the phone only supports an MMC card up to 256 megs - unfortunately just after buying a 1G card that doesn’t work and I cannot return.

Nokia N90 Cellular Phone Features

Capture: The Nokia N90 is packed with advanced camera features that ensure high quality photos and videos every time. With autofocus, pressing the shutter key halfway automatically focuses in on the target, after which pressing the key all the way captures the image with amazing clarity. Furthermore, the macro mode feature provides for striking accuracy when taking close-ups.
Print: Printing great quality images is now possible 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 MultiMediaCard (RS-MMC) from the side of the phone and inserting it into a compatible printer.
Store: Photos and video clips taken with the Nokia N90 can conveniently be stored on the phone’s internal 31 MB memory or the 64 MB in-box RS-MMC. Users can also easily store captured content at full resolution using the Nokia PC Suite Image Store, which, when connected, automatically saves images and video clips to the PC.
Share: Images and video clips can also be instantly shared via MMS, email or by uploading them to web albums directly from the new improved rotating Gallery, which also allows on-handset editing of captured images and video clips. In addition, video clips can easily be trimmed further on the PC with the in-box Adobe Mobile Video Editor software.
