N91 The Truth, 25 Feb 2007
This review is from: Nokia N91 SIM Free Mobile Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Hi there. To start with the n91 is a great phone. The music player is great and the applications and games you can get are also great. It is quite heavy but it looks fantastic. The other reviews however are accurate, it does crash and i have personally had problems my self, ie applications such as themes would load but then unload and mess up the future loading of that particular application. The remedy is to update the software (firmware) as soon as you get the phone! If possible do it yourself, I went to my local nokia service point to get it (flashed) and they didnt do it it had the old firmware installed. Go to the nokia website and hunt around for the software updating application you need. Your PC needs to have a minimun of 256 MB of RAM to perform the update, once you open the updating application it will automaticallty apply the latest software (read relevant instructions). Once this is done you will no longer have a problem as i have not for months, no error message, no crashing. Its a shame that it is up to the customer to find these things as i have done. As a company nokia should have made sure the software on these phones will work appropriately first time around, anyway goodluck.

Best music camera phone on the market, 19 Oct 2007
This review is from: Nokia N91 SIM Free Mobile Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
If you want a 4GB phone which is also 3G, with wifi capabilities and a 2mpix camera as well, then this is the best out there, I've owned an N91 now for over a year and I still can't find a phone on the market now that betters it. I did have problems in the first few months when I first got the phone, it would crash all the time and wouldn't load mp3's properly, but once I sent it back to have a software patch installed on it it's been great ever since. I have the phone on all week and only turn it off at weekends when I'm not at work. Downsides are it's fairly big and synching with windows media player is tricky (reason for 4 stars), but you can create playlists on the phone quite easily and loading music onto it is easy. Battery life is good, lasts around 5-6 days on a charge when using as phone, listening to music 1 hour a day plus calls and wifi browsing then you're down to 2 days. But all in all def a good phone with only the iphone and the sony ericsson w950i as competition, but neither of these have the full spec of the n91, iphone is way too expensive doesn't have 3g and sony for not having a camera.

Rather pricey hey?, 31 July 2006
This review is from: Nokia N91 SIM Free Mobile Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Now I know this is really expensive, but if you do have some (a lot!) of spare money, and you want a new phone then this is for you!
This phone is slightly like the Samsung phones, there is a part of the phone that slides up and down to unlock and lock the menu. Also, by sliding music and video control, you can accept calls. The phone is VERY cool looking: the big screen, the finely polished paint + the colours, the layout of the buttons and the smooth slide. All of these added up = the coolest looking phone in the room. The phone is quite big, it cannot fit into the smallest of pockets, but the size adds up to the awesome looks. Also, what's good about the size is that the screen is very big as well. As I said before, the paint is finely polished; you will find no rough points at all. Also, you will find that the slide has no trouble at all, it is also really smooth. No matter how many times you slide it, it will not break. The phone has more buttons than an average phone, it has its own personal buttons made for videos and music, which is much more helpful. It is really cool that you slide it down, not up to reveal the number buttons, I don't know why, it just feels... better.
This phone specialises in its videos and music. The videos can be recorded up to 1 hour, maybe more (I'm not sure but once I accidentally left it recording a video, when I came back it had been recording for 56 minutes). The videos are in very good quality, the light is put exactly in its place, and the picture is very precise. And music, which this phone REALLY specialises in. You can hold up to 3,000 songs on this phone thanks to the 4GB. You can turn the sound up to really high volume, which is helpful if your showing off your music to your friends! You can even make your own play lists.
Also the other aspects of the phone are really good. The still photos have even better captures of the surroundings than the videos; it is one of the best phone cameras around. The messages are sent instantly sent and received. If talking to someone on the phone, you can hear their voice as if they're there - the excellent sound system, and you can have video conversations (though they are very pricey)! The games are brilliant too, and you can download hundreds more, and the Internet allows you to buy loads, from pictures to updates on football. The screen is really colourful, thanks to the hundreds of pixels in the large screen. Finally, it has loads of applications including a stopwatch, world time and many more! This phone has all you good from a phone you could want, and it has it real good.
Overall, the N91 probably has the most memory and the best video capture of its time, and definitely the best sound out of all the phones before this one! It is truly amazing; if you want to stand out in the crowd, buy it!!! (If of course you have enough money!)
10/10
