Design

A new clamshell mobile Nokia, a perilous exercise for the Finnish mark (remember the 6260 tested several months ago), but any other bill on the N90 which is a success in terms of drawing curves and materials ...
a feeling of strength once in hand, a large size but not without interest as it contains his heart in a display of extreme delicacy and a keyboard more comfortable to use everyday.
The appendix containing the focal Carl Zeiss also serves as a hinge mechanism and once mastered, gives opportunities ingénieuses few, however, that damage the screen does not rotate 180 °, it would have allowed use of ergonomics further enhanced, including for the video.

The first of the Nseries reveals a flood of good surprises, quality of materials very good, very comfortable keyboard, a Carl Zeiss 2 megapixel color screens and two whose house will fade from the jealousy best in this area, as it is fine and restitution true colors.The ergonomics are well thought out here, allowing full use of the phone with one hand and the camera with both hands to how camcorder with a screen deported.

The hinge has several rotation on the screen and photo module, it is very well thought out and well designed, no doubt about its robustness for use.

On the left side behind a door (be careful not to lose the plastic cover at an update for example), the Pop-Port and the outlet for the new AC-4.

The right side allows us to access the card reader RS-MMC (attention, only DV cards, are compatible Double Voltage!), A 64 MB card is included in the box, but it will be too small to quickly archive all your photos and videos and more applications available for mobile phones running Symbian as the N90.

Just next door, there is a sufficiently effective multidirectional joystick to navigate through menus and mobile applications with precision, but the button at the center can not take pictures or videos for example, unlike other mobile Symbian Nokia ...
button is located just a little above that serves as a trigger in the shooting.

Also in order to serve this sumptuous design, the button on / off / profiles shortcut is at the top of the module photo, right next speaker handsfree extremely powerful indeed!

Here everything is assembled, no crack and materials have been picked, successful design and ergonomics side!

Screens
The external display is the same 128 x 128 pixels that the team in 9300 and 9500, while the internal display is a beautiful 352 x 416 pixels 262 144 colors of a fine ever proposed to date on Nokia.
Nokia by that example has to be ashamed of its screens facing competition, quite the contrary, the N90 could quickly become a benchmark!
It has also an excellent brightness, enabling it to be legible even in direct sunlight.

The menu
The menu Symbian, s60 series 8.1a, available from the "Menu", is very intuitive, customizable, scalable and customizable, probably the best OS for mobile phone, with Microsoft Windows Mobile.
The applications available in "Try & Buy" complete games and applications available on the Web ... a real delight at the level of performance mobile.
The gallery and management of photos and videos has evolved, a carousel 2D takes place of the old classic list

Photos and Videos
The digital camera is integrated on the swivel module is a 2 Megapixels with Carl Zeiss optics, decorated with a flash LED.
It is activated by rotating the screen and is triggered via the button above the joystick (which provides access to zoom) on the right slice.
The other modes are accessible photo taken in this configuration by the Options button above the screen, only when the screen is rotated, the two hands are needed ...

The shooting photos will be able to go today until 1600 x 1200, in a short while interesting quality for printing, sufficient for sending MMS!
Autofocus, macro, flash, zoom (up to x20 and x8 the photo for video) are on the agenda.
The video also evolves, it is possible to shoot directly to MP4 with the N90, but this format fairly heavy does not create MMS, it will also provide to 3GP video to create a message multimedia, small tip elsewhere, first create a new message and insert a new video, longer and perfectly adapted guaranteed result for your picture ; )

Connectivity and synchronization

Connectivity and synchronization (PC and Mac) are appointments that characterizes the Nokia N90, Bluetooth and USB connection (cable supplied) await you to synchronize contacts, calendar, notes ...

a true smartphone!

Infrared connectivity, it is available here!

Conclusion

The Nokia N90 used for a week with two different versions of software became more and more pleasant and fast after the update v 3.0535.4.3 (Feel free to the update, to recall, the software version is by dialing * # 0000 # on your keyboard).

The Nokia N90 is well born and restores the Finnish brand image it intends to carry through its future products, beautiful and functional ...
