Nokia N-90 Review

Introduction:
The model is similar to the Nokia 6260 with a rotational upper part, which is necessary in the camera working mode. A curious thing is the camera module is set out of the main part and is aldo rotational. This is one of the first product to have high resolution screen, glass optics by Carl Zeiss. The company positions the model as a fashion device, the leader in photography line. The only minus of this very functional phone is its big dimensions.
Class: smartphone, 3G, fashion
Position in the line: above Nokia N70
Rivals: no in this form-factor
Start price will form about 750 USD
