Introduction


Nokia N90 is one of the prominent cellphones released by the name of Nokia N Series by Nokia. As an overall view, Nokia N90 is depicting some new and annovative features as well as some similar features from previous cellphones. Lets get into the details



Features


The first external look and form factor will remind you the memories of Nokia 6260 i.e clamshell form factor with rotatable screen. You will like Nokia N90 if you first look at its capabilities rather than its size and weight. Nokia N90 is based over Nokia Series 60 platform; but the screen resolution is unusually bigger i.e. 352 x 416 pixels. The camera module looks totally separate from the phone which brings a lot of positions to use the camera. The most important thing is that, for the first time Nokia has used a third party optics device in its cellphone i.e. Carl Zeiss. Carl Zeiss are considered to be a big name in that area. Optics are professionaly made up of glass instead of traditional plastic which I think also creates the difference.

The 2 MegaPixel camera's feature set is almost same as previous models. You will also find auto focus, red-eye reduction, landscape mode while using camera features. The 262k screen with automatic contrast acording to environment gives a better quality display. The external screen is 65k with 128 x 128 pixel resolution. You can also use the external screen as a viewfinder in flip-closed mode.Furthermore, with 31Mb built-in memory and RS-MMC slot provides a very acceptable solution these days. All other best features of these days are built-into it such as Bluetooth 2.0, direct printer output, mp3/mpeg playback etc.

You will also notice that it supports almost all networks from GSM/GPRS/EDGE to WCDMA/UMTS/3G. You will also find 3G/UMTS specific features such as video call and streaming etc.
Now, if we come to size and weight i.e. 112x51x24 mm and 173 grams, one could easily say that its bigger, bulkier and heavier. But, I think it can be compromised with its new features and being the first model of that type.



Conclusion


Nokia N90 is expected to be released in June. I think Nokia N90 could be appreciated and we could expect similar models but with smaller size and lighter weight. Initially, the price is expected to be 600 Euro.
