What is it: Swivelling cameraphone with high-quality optics and plenty of other advanced features
What we think: Very different from the norm when it comes to photography and generally well featured, but chunky and possibly overdesigned

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 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

Nokia's photo-friendly N90 has a 2-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, but the three-part design is bulky and as complicated as Rubik's Cube. Is it swivellicious or a twist too far?
