General Comments

I have had my Nokia N90 mobile phone for three weeks, and I am really pleased with it. I wanted a smart phone (so that I did not need to carry my PDA around with me all the time), and a decent camera phone. The N90 fills both of these categories extremely well. The major drawback is lack of vibration function. However, after a while you soon get used to it. The camera is fantastic in both modes, with an easy to use joystick and button on it's side that controls most major functions. The automatically setup voice activated dialling and application control is a god send. You no longer need to scroll through all your names and assign voice tags; the N90 recognizes your voice and does as you ask it. I have found this to work 90% of the time. The internal screen is fantastic! It is the highest resolution screen on the mobile market, and makes the menu system and your photo's look stunning.

The downside is that the processor doesn't seem fast enough to keep up sometimes, and it can cause a bit of lag. There is also a light sensor which seems like a gimmick at first, however, it soon proves worthwhile and makes the N90 comfortable to view in sunlight or in the pitch black. All of this however takes a toll on the battery, which doesn't as long as I would hope from a Nokia. However, it is easy enough to leave it charging when you go to sleep.

Overall, it is a very good smart/camera phone that fulfils those two categories comfortably. However, if you like your phones small, then it would be best to avoid this one.
