Nokia N90 Phone
The N90 gives the first impression of sophistication. The handset allows the user to earn a status due to its outstanding looks. The Nokia N90 consists of a flap. Every part of the phone is made with a lot of attention on style. Be it the keypad, display, camera, flap and so on, no doubt the piece looks extremely stylish. The N90 is not a very large handset but it is a bit heavy. The keypad is also situated in a compact way that it does not allow the user to strain his fingers. Also with five-way navigation key, two soft keys, application key, edit and clear key, send and end keys as well as additional soft keys for the joystick, the usage becomes much more interesting.
 The Nokia N90 handset is bundled with an Integrated hands free speaker, speed dialing and automatic redial, advanced contacts database wit
h support for multiple phone and email details each entry, contains thumbnail pictures and groups, stores the list of dialed, received, and missed calls, automatic handset that works only with compatible headset or car-kit and conference.
Size
The N90 is one of the biggest and the heaviest Series 60 smart phone made so far. It's dimensions (112 x 51 x 24 mm) are almost identical to Nokia 7650 and Sony Ericsson P910 and it's also quite heavy (173 g), a bit heavier than the 9300 Communicator(!). That's the first thing you should take into consideration when you think about buying it. I can't tell you if it is "too heavy" or "too big" or not; it depends on personal preferences. It is still much smaller and lighter than e.g. Motorola A92x or Nokia 7710, and there are many people using (and liking) them, so the N90 is definitely
usable. Remember that it is a clamshell, which means that it simply HAS TO BE thicker than "candy bar" phones for obvious reasons. The good side is that thanks to its size it is very convenient to hold in hand. It's probably also healthier as you keep the antenna (located in the "lower part") far away from your brain.
Screens
The N90 is the first Series 60 phone from Nokia equipped with two displays and
also the first S60 device with high resolution 352x416 pixels (262 thousand colors) screen.
Power and battery
The N90 uses Nokia's BL-5B Lithium-Ion battery, which is slightly smaller (shorter) than the BL-5C cell used in 6680 or 6630 phones (it is 760 mAh vs. 900
mAh). The reason for using smaller accu is that the bigger one probably wouldn't fit (even though the N90 is bigger, certain part of it is
the camera "barrel", not the actual phone). Despite the smaller battery, I didn't observe any serious difference in battery life compared to 66
80 in normal conditions and with 'typical' use, maybe because the internal screen shuts down as soon as you close the flip and the external screen is of lower resolution than 'older' Series 60 phones' screens so it uses less power. However, recording videos and taking pictures seem
s to have a noticeable impact on battery life, so be prepared to recharge your phone daily if you're a keen photographer.
N90 has a different, smaller charger connector and the charger has a smaller plug. However, the phone will be sold with an adaptor which will make it
possible to use the N90 with older chargers equipped with the 'typical' plug.
Memory
The Nokia N90 has up to 27 MB of internal dynamic memory for contacts, text messages, MMS, ring tones, images, video clips, calendar notes and applications, also provides expandable
memory with 64 MB reduced size dual voltage (1.8/3v) multimedia memory card, Hot swap slot for easy MMC insertion and removal.
