The Nokia N90 multimedia has two displays and Carl Zeiss optics: It has a 2 megapixel built-in digital camera with autofocus, 20x digital zoom, integrated flash, macro mode and the ability to record high quality video (352×288 MPEG-4 video with AAC-LC audio).

It uses the Series 60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 3 user interface and the Symbian OS 8.1a operating system.

The Nokia N90 doesn’t have a built-in hard disk drive like the Nokia N91 but it features 31 MB flash memory and a 64MB in-box DV-RS-MMC memory card.

The Nokia N90 should have started shipping in Q2 2005, but it’s still not available in the US. It is available in other countries such as Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. It is currently available for around the equivalent of US$720.

The settings you have on the Nokia N90 are nothing less than what you will find on most prosumer digital cameras today. You can adjust the white-balance, contrast, color saturation, color effects and what have you. In our tests, we found that for the White Balance mode, the automatic worked best and we recommend that you don’t play around much with this setting, as we feel the sensor adjusts a lot better if you simply set it to auto.

Overall, if you don’t mind the slow response, the bulky form factor, and are smitten by the idea of carrying a 2 megapixel camera phone, feel free to look into the Nokia N90, but if you are on a budget and want a possibly better product, the K750i may be another option to look at before making the final choice.

We can’t do anything but announce the winner – Sony Ericsson W800, respectively K750. Nokia N90 creates simply lower quality pictures which could be seen in the samples above. Nokia N90 however managed better with video recording. In short, we have to say that the two manufacturers had produced high quality photo mobiles which might convince some of the current fans of the dual equipment – a phone and a compact digital camera – to switch to a single device.

With all the hype surrounding the N-series from Nokia, I had expected a more stellar performance from the Nokia N90. I’m not saying that it’s not good. I’m just saying that the Nokia N90 is a capable mobile phone, not a great one. It does take some great looking photos, it has a slew of features, and a multi-config clamshell design that would make any Transformers fan go wild. However, the Nokia N90’s unstable software, hefty bulk, and price tag just doesn’t justify its image taking capabilities and glorious hi-res screen.

Indeed, the Nokia N90’s selling points are the 2 mega-pixel camera and its unrivaled high-resolution displays but it is mainly a 3G phone that works on GSM 900/1800/1900 and WCDMA networks. Apart from the standard SMS and MMS, it also highlights Push-to-talk, support for Java MIDP 2.0, mobile internet surfing via WAP 2.0/GPRS/EDGE, email, instant messaging, and video calling on 3G networks. It also has a Personal Information Manager including calendar, to-do list, and a calculator. According to the product manual, the 760mAh Li-Ion Battery should provide up to 290 hours of standby time. Actual usage, though, left the battery in need of recharging after two days….

All things considered, I strongly believe that the Nokia N90, with its 2 megapixel camera and Symbian 60 flexibility, is the first serious attempt at an all-in-one multimedia/ communications device by any manufacturer. It is a bit heavy but, hey, you won’t have to bring your other gadgets along. So go ahead. Leave your digital camera at home.

An epitomy of compromise, the N90 shows that Nokia is still capable of delivering products with cutting edge features that can’t be beat. Yet, the superb imaging capabilities and glorious screen of this smartphone are countered by its hefty bulk and minor issues with its external display. As always, however, the Finnish maker hits the sweet spots with reliability and connectivity, and also delivers a broad software suite which – with the exception of synchronization – is certain to keep future owners content.

As for the connection quality the device is a typical representative of Nokia smartphones with no serious problems. As compared with the Nokia 6680 the phone gained some significant advantages. Particularly, a voice recognition independent from the pronunciation appeared, no preliminary bookmarks are necessary. The screen is one of the best on the market and the best in its class. The external screen is the best in its class considering all the characteristics. The camera is on the level of the best ones though it’s hard to find one to compare with, only the Sony Ericsson K750 that actually belongs to another class (all the photos are comparable excluding the macromode, the K750 looses here).
