Nokia N90 April 20th, 2006 | by Stewart Wolpin

Conclusion

The N90 is clearly an evolutionary step in the merging of the cell phone and camera, rather than a destination. A number of 2-MP cell cams with superior ergonomics and better optics are beginning to make their way into stores, and this trend will continue until manufacturers happen upon a successful design. Because of this, and because of its awkward size and weight, we say skip the N90 and wait for the next generation of less expensive cell cams offered directly from a carrier that will include stereo capabilities. 

Pros

• EDGE compatible
• High quality 2 MP pictures
• Carl Zeiss optics
• Rotating camera lens and LCD screen
• RS MMC memory card included

Cons

• Expensive
• Large and clunky
• Awkward cell phone ergonomic
• Proprietary headphone jack
