well.. i dont have words to say bout this diabolical Phone.. Being Just a child of 15, it was my stubborn desire to buy this phone when it cost around 750 USD, the 4 GB sucky model. I was robbed of my money... And it also made me lose confidence in Nokia... I mean the battery is horrible to an amazing shame. The phone got slow in 1 GB Songs... the front panel came out in 4 months...nd had to be pasted thrice to make it look normal.. again..the metal body is a sucky factor... it gets scratched instantaneously and the looks get spoiled in a whim... theres no damned cover for it... the shape is awkward... its overwhelmingly huge.. The worst thing was the speed... despite all the saying from my friends.. i took this shitload.. it wud've been economical and far better to buy an Ipod or another Mp3 Device than this deceptively ugly phone. I donot recommend this phone at all... Please throw ure money in water or burn it or do whatever but donot buy this phone... perhaps it is nokia's biggest blunder and it has to realize to stop manufacturing it.

Pappy, real reason why I'd stick with my N91 versus iPhone is reason 24. phone is incompatible with NON-protected files (non-iTunes. This sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for all of ur probs with this ph0ne, beter do this. but first u must hav c0pied all of ur c0ntacts fr0m ur ph0ne mem. to ur sim's. and all other cant aford 2 loose files st0red in the ph0ne mem. then aftr securing ur files. u may n0w hard reset ur n91 for a beter performance. jus hold d keys *+3+(green b0t0n used for calling)+switch on. do this when turning ur ph0ne on. meaning, ur ph0ne must be shut off 1st. then hold those keys till it promted for a pin/security code(if actvated) then ask for where country u r in. its as good as new. for questi0ns, txt me i'm from Philippines. here's my no:+639157948388. none n91 concern is a big no no.. hope this helps.

My Phone : N91 8GB.

Time Owned : 10 Days.

Previous Phone Expirience : P990i


Look and Feel :

In Black it is much more stylish then the previous colors of 4GB version and due to dark color it do not look bulky or huge in size.

Good things :

1 - Wifi b/g mode, works fine.

2 - Camera Result - Good

3 - Battery Life - After an hour of Usage
IM+ Plus for Chatting, 1 Bar dropped - OK

4 - Network Coverage - Good.

5 - PC Suite connectivity - Works fine in connectivity using USB cable, Blutooth etc. Backup and Restore - OK

6 - Firmware Upgrade - Went all perfect and no problem occured.

7 - Charging time - as mentioned in manual.

8 - Slide mechanism - Not smooth as other nokia sliders but no difficulty in using.

9 - Sound Quality - Average on Speakers but perfect on Headphones provided or tested on other brands like Sony Ericsson headphones.

10 - Integrated Browser - Works fine no need for other browser .

11 - Software availability - Found Alot on Dotsis.com.

Bad Things :

1 - No Flash Light. ( Nokia was suppose to add flash light in this Revised spec version)

2 - Pc to Phone data transfer slow then Flashcards, even USB 2.0 is provided.

3 - Active Standby is not as good as i have expirienced in Nokia 6288 even it was S40 symbian platform. Disappointing.

What else ..

Over All best phone :)

Hi KornGear.

I have never used an iphone so i really do not have an opinion. I would say that from a technology perspective its approx 2+ years behind the N95 however from what i have seen from a UI persspective its ahead. Here is however what i saw on a discussion forum entitled the "40 reaons why i returned my iphone a day after i bought it":

1. closed system - no apps, no installing, you have a closed box.
2. no mms (no sending pictures or sounds) = no fun
3. proprietary sim chip (no swapping this puppy, etc.)
4. no 3G -- the iphone currently has the SAME speed as my current older phone (edge) What about the future?
5. touch screen texting - try sending someone a fast sms or "speedy" respond on this device
6. required 2-hand operation (i love the fact that i can operate my phone with ONE hand)
7. not expandable (no cards of any kind can be used to upgrade my storage space)
8. 2 megapixel phone (yikes -- is this 1990)?
9. no video recording (you read this right)
10.no GPS - my next phone will definitely have GPS built in
11. can't replace own battery - what were they thinking?
12. proprietary headphone jack - throw out your set baby, new'ns required!
13. no IM clients (can't do real-time messaging, like i do on my current phone)
14. special plan required to use phone (A T & T special plan)
15. must rely on iTunes to activate phone (all kinds of problems currently in activation)
16. if touchscreen cracks, no phone (phone is reliant on one screen for everything)
17. no insurance on screen breaking - if screen breaks, you have a paperweight
18. untested OS on a mobile device
19. phone call quality inherently bad (confirmed w/ users)
20. no TV out
21. most apps on iphone can be installed on the Symbian OS
22. CAN NOT use mp3(s) on your "music" phone as a RINGTONES!
23. for the price, you can get an 80gig ipod AND a 30gig ipod and still have $ left for a different phone
24. phone is incompatible with NON-protected files (non-iTunes)
25. camera: no white balance options, no true camera features
26. 2 year contract necessary, no subsidized cost = point?
27. not compatible with java (with so much on the web, what will this be like?)
28. not compatible with flash (with so much on the web, what will this be like?)
29. no music streaming
30. putting music onto iphone is more complicated vs.putting music onto ipod (creating playlists, etc.)
31. not stereo bluetooth compatible
32. no bluetooth file transfer
33. no voice dialing
34. no one-touch dialing
35. can't use iphone as a voice recorder
36. not blackberry compatible
37. no true push e-mail (yahoo email on iphone takes about 15min to be received)
38. NO voice over IP (no skype calls, no free calls over internet)
39. no video calling
40. two words: FACE GREASE

cheers

pappy

N91 is a poor phone. Thats why most phone companies have withdrawn it.

To pappy:
