We like:

Novel hardware design; fantastic main screen and very good front display; brimming with software; supplied with cable and software for PC connection

We don't like:

Lacks internal memory; can be tricky to make video calls; over designed; sound quality average

You might also need:

RS-MMC cards

CNET.co.uk judgement:

Gadget fans should love this handset with its three-piece, dual-swivel action, and the ability to take photos without opening the clamshell. Image quality impresses too, but there is a price to pay in terms of overall size and weight, and while the N90 is brimming with other features, it doesn't have much built-in memory
