N90 is targeted at people who want a good camera AND smartphone AND 3G in the same phone. If you ONLY want a good camera, by all means go for the K750. If you want a good camera and smartphone together, what other options you have other than N70/N90/N91/6680?

You can say K750 CAMERA ONLY is better than N90 at the moment based on pre-production version of N90. It is left to be seen whether this is still true based on the production version of N90.

In terms of overall functionalities the N90 far exceed the K750. Of course N90 price and weight also far exceed the K750.

Why say bye for K750 and go for a Nokia phone with a very poor design?

It may be true it has 5GP space and smartphone features etc. But it cannot be compared to the front-end desigh and software (FirmWare) of SE phones? can it? I seriously dought!

Does anyone know the processing power of that N90? SE k700 has 400MHz and i guess it's higher in K750! can Nokia afford that? Do they allow to update firmware? Do they releas newer fws for their phones? If N90 is infected with a virus can you update or reinstall your fw and recover your phone without saying bye bye? What about their screen? Even the samsung D500 256k TFT screen if no match for the 65k TFT screen of the K700! So can the n90 screen out-run the 256k TFT screen of the k750?

We have to consider lots of things ppl! If you need 5gb space you can have it even with K750! how? Use some MemorySticks, and it's removable storage- can plug in to a notebook or a vcam directly! Can that 5GP space plugged in to any other device?.

What abt the battery life of that N90? Will it last for two days under working conditions?

So i guess it's bye bye to N90, not to the K750!

Enjoy.../

Well you surely has not been reading on about the N90.

-It does not have 5 GB of storage it uses DV RS-MMC cards limited up to 512 MB today.
-You cannot compare a Symbian and a Non-symbian software wise with symbian being much more complex.
-SE K700 dont have a 400 Mhz processor and the N90 will have a 220 Mhz processor just as 6630 and 6680. Nokia being a bigger company and having greater resources then SE why shouldn't they afford it if they wanted to? And surely N90 could use some extra processing power so beats me why they didn't upgrade to a faster one.
-Of course they release new FW but the downside is you can't update to new FW yourself as with SE phones.
-The N90 display is probably one of the best today and surely it outperforms the K750 by miles it has 352 x 416 resolution.

Youre right about the batterylife though its poor on the N90 compared to K750 but it is a 3G phone and I guess it needs a lot of juice to keep that big display running . Stand-by Up to 240 h, Talk time Up to 4 h 30 min. Please check your facts before posting.

I think the issue on power consumption (aside from price) is a major consideration when using a much faster processor. That's probably why Nokia didn't use much faster processors.
resistance is futile.

Yes that could surely be it but I don't understand why they use the 760mAh BL-5B in N90 they could atleast use the 900mAh BL-5C but of course there is the space issue and all Nokia clamshells seem to have the BL-5B battery but as the size of the N90 is so big already it would just make a small difference.

Lets face it, it will be. We always say that when it comes to new phones being released with good cameras, and yet when they eventually do get released the camera quality remains the same.

It would probably also add a bit more to the weight.

You're not very intelligent are you ? You reckon that SE's answer to Nokia's N Series of 3G smartphones, is to release 2G none-smartphones.. ?

They're a completely different category of phone. Dont be so dim.

the N90's processing power is 360 MHz ...

the screen is the best ... but it's soooo big ... it is long as a p900 & as thck as a S700 + the optical instruments are very fragile ... so think twice befor buying it .. + it weights 173 gramms .... ( it's a huge brick !!! )

Not exactly the phone of my dreams, the nokia n series. I would have preferred something from SE for their sleek, stylish design...not to mention their user-friendlyness...

OMG Just finished reading a Review this is like a Blackberry, wide pretty fat and unattractive.I swear i can get musles from lifting it. I have to admitt there are some features on there but, still dosen't convince me to ever switch. By the way has anybody had some time to carefully at look the camera's lens slide cover it looks pretty cheep to me.
LOOKS LIKE BUGET MATERIAL TO ME.

its amazing how die hard se fans, like deyan, will take 1 review of 1 model and place damnation on an entire lineup.

True Nokia should improve its technology with battery consumption; but having a choice or possibility of using the Qd's battery will significantly improve usage times.

MobileReview stated software issues was due 2 the not standard resolution used in the n90 but couldnt confirm if it was a universal issue nor that Nokia confirmed this. Its possible shipping production units may have an auto screen resolution adjust 4 apps. Possible. As it isnt shipping yet!

Some1 mentioned that the n90 interfered with their wifi network. Maybe the issue isnt the phone, using bluetooth v2.0, but maybe the network that needs upgrading.

My reason for choosing a Nokia S60 phone is for the Edge offering and 850mhz band and the choice of using different apps. I can choose Email that supports html emails. Choice of 3 faster web apps with better download support 2 memory card. Choice of a faster file browser. Choice of better mp3 player. All of this better choices than what comes standard. Se Pseries offers the same choices but doesnt give me edge data speeds. We'll see with next version offers as no1 knows, just speculation and rumors.

All Symbian phones allow the user 2 completely backup phones apps and information 2 memory card. If firmware is buggy then you can format & restore from backup and your sorted! Can you do this with a Moto Razr or k750i?

The N91 will offer wifi at both b/g standards with VoIP. Scype any1!

Choices, beyond what you 1st see initially. Just like choosing ur network. Do you choose just based on coverage, or 1price plan? No matter the manufacturer, i want quality, features, styling, and choice.
