Arguably one of the most advanced phones on the market, the Nokia N90 has a feature list a mile long. For starters, it's a Series 60 smartphone running the Symbian operating system. It also features a rotating 2-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss autofocus lens, f lash, and high-resolution video capture. Add that to an MMC memory card slot, support for EDGE high speed data, Bluetooth, a music player, and much more, and you've got some serious power in your pocket. This special bundle also comes with the Nokia HS-26W Bluetooth Headset, which provides clear and comfortable hands-free calling.
Twist and shoot: The Nokia N90 is ready to take breathtaking pictures at a moment's notice. Design The N90 is all about the twist and shoot. While the phone looks like a mild-mannered clamshell phone, the top portion of the flip cover actually twists, which allows the phone to be held much like a camcorder, aiming the precision Carl Zeiss autofocus lens just where you want it. The phone's secondary external screen sports 128 x 128 resolution -- the resolution often found on many phones' main screens -- with support for 65,000 colors. Inside the flip, you'll find a massive 352 x 416 main screen that supports 262,000 colors. Internal memory storage is a generous 31 MB, and you can add external storage via the aforementioned MMC memory card slot. Cards are hot-swappable, too, so you don't have to power the unit down to change them. High speed data transfer to and from the device is supported by the N90's USB 2.0-compatible "Pop-Port."
Calling Features The N90's address book is only limited by the amount of available memory, and it can store multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the phone's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, as is a vibrating alert, and you can use your favorite MP3s as ringtones. Ringer IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers, while picture ID technology lets you similarly assign images or pictures to callers. In addition to speaker-independent voice recognition dialing, the phone also features technology that lets you control menu functions with your voice. Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.
Carl Zeiss optics and a real autofocus mechanism make the N90 much more than a regular camera phone. Messaging, Internet and Tools The N90 is a mobile messaging and Internet powerhouse. With support for the MMS (multimedia messaging service), the phone can send picture, video and text messages, and when coupled with the phone's powerful camera, MMS opens up great opportunities for robust messaging. Instant messaging is also supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client that supports POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols. And because the N90 is a Symbian smartphone, it supports opening and editing of those important attachments -- documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and more.
Getting on the Internet is easy with the N90. It supports the GPRS data protocol, as well as the high-speed EDGE wireless data service. When used with your carrier data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. The phone is bundled with the convenient and highly compatible Opera browser for mobile Web browsing of full HTML pages. In fact, Opera supports WAP 2.0, xHTML, frames, Java Script 1.5, and even file uploads. Meanwhile, T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit -- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
The N90 supports PC synchronization via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. You can also use Bluetooth to connect a wireless keyboard for efficient text entry. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the N90 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, a to-do list, and an alarm clock. On top of all that, a wide range of applications are available for Symbian devices like the N90.
