My friends at Nokia sent me a Nokia N91 Multimedia Phone several weeks ago. I’m a late in putting it through its paces because I’ve been spending so much time taking care of my son, Jimmy. If you’re a regular reader of Operation Gadget, you probably already realize this.
I took my Cingular SIM card out of my Treo 650 and fired up a phone that promises a completely different experience.
Here are some of the highlights of the Nokia N91:
- 4-Gigabytes of built-in hard disk storage (up to 3000 songs)
- Surprisingly good speaker for listening to music with others
- Built-in FM radio
- Seemless switching between music and smartphone functions
- 2-Megapixel camera with excellent movie capture capabilities
Although the N91 has all of the video and camera functions of the other Nokia N-Series phones that have been tested here, the N91 is intended to be a music-centric phone. That’s why it has a 4-Gigabyte hard disk, and music player controls on its face. I installed the Nokia PC Suite on my laptop, ripped a couple of CDs in my collection to MP3s, and downloaded the tracks to the N91. This was an easy process, and I’ll have more to say about this in another article.
I’m sure that I’ll love the N91. I’ve already used it to record a couple of movies of Jimmy, and I really appreciate the N91’s built in hard disk for movie storage.
