Very good

View score

The good: Excellent build quality; innovative side joystick; cutting-edge feature set including 3G; superb picture quality; abundance of connectivity options.

The bad: Bulky and heavy; some design flaws; unfriendly keypad; slow operating system; limited music playback control; mediocre battery life.

The bottom line: The N90 is well-suited to offer 3G, imaging and multimedia functions in one mean package, provided you can live with its slow speeds and various other minor flaws.

TANK-AT-WAR!

Aug 16, 2006

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: 352 x 416 display, luxious lens, 30MB internal, 3G, BL-5B battery
Cons: Totaly over-priced, useless CarlZeiss, bulcky-punky design, bad performance
Opinion:
Now there are about a year and half for this TANK, and what? still as costy as a RollRoyce-in da battle! I wonder why all this high resolution for the screen as it's just 2.1" ?! But really such a combination of the S60 9.1-352*416 interface and the old 6630 processor is badly weird. Whatever this device owners will be satisfied with the BL-5B battery at least.

 

I was tempted to rate it spectacular!

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Screen, Camera (Lens)
Cons: No vibration mode, No Radio, Size, Weight
Opinion:
My previous phones have been Nokia 6600, Nokia 7710, Nokia 8810, SE K750i, SE W800i, SE W550i, imate Jam, O2 XDA II. In short, I have never owned a phone having this crisp a screen and this sharp a camera. Believe me, I have at length compared it n 80 as well. The screen and the camera is better in n 90. The software is better than the usual slow nokia software, however nokia should do better in this arena. Although I have listed 4 cons but the pros out weigh them by huge margin. The phone gets connected to PC with ease (via cable and blue tooth). There are good smart phone features as well. All in all it is a very good buy if you can bear the size and weight.
