    Nokia N90

    Just wondered what everyone thought about this phone?

    Any ideas when it'll be out on Orange?

    Cheers

    This is the best info. I can find:

    http://www.directmobilephones.com/nokia_n90.htm

    O2 and Vodafone seem to have dibs on this model, but there is an option on the webpage for Orange - may be availible within the next few weeks perhaps?

    nope, not when vodafone offered me a 8800 for £150 on a £30 pm tarriff yesterday.....

    the N series are stupidly expensive for what they are, if anything, if you look at the handsets coming out now they are all going over the £300 sim free price, it could potentially put the networks on pay for phone systems again, which can only hurt the networks.

    It's the highest spec PDA-phone on the market by a long, long way.

    Highlights:

    - Brilliant 352x416 pixel screen (by comparison, the O2 XDA IIs has a 240x320 pixel screen and it's a big PDA!)
    - "VHS quality" video recording. You can easily playback the videos at full screen on a TV without being able to tell the source is a mobile phone!
    - The only smartphone on the European market with a 2MP camera
    - One of the few 3G smartphones on the European market
    - Symbian smartphone OS, so lots of software available for it

    However, this does come at a price. As mentioned above, there's no vibrate mode and it isn't the smallest of phones.

    £200 on a new contract is an insane price too.

    We had a nokia rep come in my store last week with an N90 and i have to say i was impressed, although its not as small as i was hoping. The screen and camera are just tromendous!
    As for no vibrate, i didnt even know that abit of a let down on an otherwise excellent handset.

    £200 is steep for any phone as far as im concerned, depends how much money you have to spare...

    I think i'd have to give this phone a miss then. What else would you chaps recommend? I would like the same or near enough the same features as the N90.

    Here is an excellent and very in-depth review of the N90;

    http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-n90-en.shtml

    And here is a review of the camara capabilities;

    http://www.mobile-review.com/review/...amera-en.shtml

    TBH, I'm not that overly impressed with the N90 (based on the above review anyway). The camera is no better than the Sony K750i/W800i and it's a very large phone. This is probably a phone i will be giving a miss.
