Sounds like a logical reason. The vibrator in my phone is a little on the strong side, can make the phone dance right off the desk! However the camera in mine is cheap and probably does not care anyways.

What makes the omission even harder to explain is that, if the online spec sites are accurate, every other model in the N-Series has a vibrator. What’s so different about the N90 that it can’t have one too? I have no idea…

From what I hear, the vibration can mess up the Carl Zeiss lens, thus it was taken out from the N90.

I have the N90 and so far the “Silent” mode doesn’t really affect me. I just set the “Silent” profile to give beep, which I can still hear but won’t affect other (like in the movie theatre).

Before I sent the phone to Rob, I used an old Nokia charger with the little pig tail adapter. It worked fine.

Thanks for a great review! Was sort of interested in the phone. Usually Nokia does come out with a US tri-band config using 850, but it looks like N91 is already taken.. They did the same with the 6680 and came out with the Euro version 6681 w/o UMTS and the 6682 US version.

As for the new mains chargers, all the new N series have the smaller pin and I’m curious to see if they are keen to convert all new designs over at some point. The new E series in Q1 may have the same design change. You should be able to use a US Nokia charger with the little adaptor cable, but don’t quote me or bill me if it burns up your phone

Thanks again L-D

Although I have to say, no vibrate alert is a deal killer. An odd omission to say the least. How could a person ever be silently alerted then? This is a must-have feature in any phone.

Nice review, Rob. How is the signal reception and call quality?

Nokias are usually pretty good in the RF department and the N90 doesn’t seem to be an exception to that — it worked everywhere I expected it to, and didn’t work everywhere I expected it not to. I live at the fringe of T-Mobile coverage and the fact that it works indoors, albeit only while sitting in one particular spot on my desk, makes it as good as any other phone I’ve tried (and better than some). Voice quality was also good, or at least I have no complaints about it.

Beautiful phone – very nice feature set!
