The nokia n90 has been an early favorite of people who are into camera phones. What’s nice about this model is it 2 megapixel camera, and the mp4 video capture. A great phone with its twist and shoot feature is so cool, it makes it appear like a mini video camcorder.

PCMag Nokia N90 review

Bottomline:This powerful camera phone is just too unwieldy to be practical.

Pros:Takes beautiful photos. Lovely screen. Powerful.

Cons:Very large. Mediocre battery life. Poor camera resolution.

CNET Nokia N90 review.

The good: 2-megapixel CMOS digital camera with flash and 8X digital zoom; MPEG-4 video-capture capabilities; separate lens and display swivels; EDGE capable; RS-MMC external memory slot; MP3 player; PictBridge compatible; Bluetooth; USB connectivity; e-mail.

The bad: Expensive; big and heavy; proprietary headphone jack; low integrated memory; no stereo speakers; short talk time.

The bottom line: It’s a startling combination of image capture, music playback, and communications capabilities in a clever but bulky Transformers-like package. However, at more than $900 for an unlocked model, the Nokia N90 is not for the faint of wallet.
