MobileWhack, one of the better blogs to keep an eye on for all things Mobile, has previously heaped high praise on the N90.
Today, in their Best of 2005 recap they selected the Nokia Nseries N90 as the best mobile phone for the year.
I'm sure our friends at Nokia say "kitos" which is thank you in Finnish.
Matt Miller has been disecting and examining the Nokia N90 in a manner that would make my ninth grade biology teacher proud.
His exhaustive, leave no stone unturned, no holds barred review of the N90 is now out and it's epic like. It's also fair, balanced and provides solid insight regarding just who the multi-media device is for, and who it's not for.
Matt at PalmSolo continues to put the N90 through it's paces and has begun experimenting with the ability to listen to Podcasts.
The Digital Journalist suggests the N90 may be the right device for those looking to be reporters or who are reporters and need a device that can support filing stories via the web.
According to the Daily Gadget, CompUsa stores in the USA are adding sales of the N90 as part of their Nokia Experience store within a store concept.
Did you know one of the benefits of the Nseries is Video Calling? Of course you will need UMTS or EDGE to make it look and sound as good as the video, but what the future holds for calling.
This glowing review over at PDAStreet of the N90 is the same as the one that appeared in SmartPhoneToday.
While many have been focusing on the photo and video capabilities of the N90, Web Talk Guy and online content expert Rob Greenlee takes a different look at the N90, and explains how it's also a great lisetening device for Podcasts and Webcasts in this post.
In his post he refers to a new piece of software, Mobilcast from Melodeo that makes it easy to download Podcasts to your Nseries phones and how it works with the Cingular's MediaNet service here in the USA.
SmartPhone Today has an rather insightful and detailed review of the N90, calling the Nseries device "one of the best multimedia smartphones we've seen."
We like hearing that!
Matt of PalmSolo and Geek.com is wondering how to best hold his N90.
If you've found any techniques that work best for you, please post them has a comment in the support forum.
Jon Arnold makes a point in a post about how an N90 could have been useful to him as he muses about baseball.
In a very balanced and comprehensive review, AvecMobile describes the pluses, and a few minuses, about the N90. The review makes a very flattering comparison to the Blackberry of all things.
Note: This is a different review than the one they posted earlier on the photo capabilities.
The folks at Skype sent me a wonderful holiday video. I wonder if they shot it with the N90.
If they only would have asked !
One of our reviewers was having an issue with Lifeblog and Flickr. In a matter of minutes I configured Flickr to work with my N90 and N70.
This is a test post from  , a fancy photo sharing thing.
I did this from my N70 that i'm putting through paces before we send them your way.
PR and Business Communications experts Nevelle Hobson and Shel Holtz take a look at the Nokia Blogger Relations Programs and take an hour out of their schedule to chat with Andy Abramson on their twice weekly podcast about Public Relations and Communications.
Stuart Henshall is a man who knows innovation in products when he sees it. He cofounded Skype Journal while blogging with his own blog, Unbound Spiral. Now he's admitting the N90 will be the tool that gets him back into his own Unbound Spiral.
His review is a clever read and typical Stuart. Insightful. Whimsical and witty. It's not a traditional product review with disection. I'm guessing that will come later. Instead you get slice of life and unabashed enthusiasm for something new and different.
NerdApproved has a review of the N90 just posted today.
U.K. bloggers at GadgetSpy give the new N90 the thumbs up in a recently published review.
Jonathan Greene may be giving a new meaning to consumer reporting. His depiction of the San Jose Airport Hyatt via an N90 vBlog makes for an interesting citizen journalism approach.
jack Cook of Mobility Today has a school principals approach to working with new products. He puts them through their paces before rendering his final grade.
Listen to some of Jack's initial impressions and see his first foray's into N90 photography on the Mobility Today site.
Mr. Operation Gadget himself, Dave Aiello like to officiate collegiate and amateur hockey in the Eastern United States. He totted along his N90 to a recent college face off between two teams from the Phildelphia area during a game at the University of Pennsylvania's Class of '23 Ice Rink.
Seeing the video was a moment of nostalgia for me. You see, in the 80's my office was just to the left of where Dave's friend kept shooting, as the division of the Philadelphia Flyers that I ran was located there before relocating to the Spectrum in 1984.
It also tells me in 20 years of so nothing there has changed, as the lighting was poor then, and even the TV crews covering the Flyers Cup High School Championships had the same comments back then.
In their review AvecMobile cocludes that other than for high end photography, the N90 is a good everyday camera.
With a very comprehensive review, The Gadgeteer has written a wide ranging view of pluses and minuses of the N90.
What's great about this review is that Rob didn't hold back and his views should help prospective purchasers determine if the N90 is just right for them.
Matt continues to put the N90 through its paces. This time he comments and compares the N90's photo quality to the Treo 650 and other devices.
Niko gives both positive and negative viewpoints. That's why he's one of our favorite bloggers. Check out his concerns about texting with the N90.
The folks at GearLive have praised the very comprehensive MobileWhack review of the N90.
According to both Loic and Rodrigo, the N90 is causing quite a buzz and stir in France. As you can see, many a French blogger is commenting on the new Nokia mobile. I think we guessed right in getting those two camera friendly bloggers the mobile camera phone.
A highly entertaining, informative and balanced report about the Nokia Blogger Relations Communications Program was spoken by the duo of Hobson & Holtz. It's also just a darn good podcast, especially for PR and Blogger Relations types who want to know what's going on.
Give a listen.
Someone captured Loic, Rodrigo and an unidentified third party all showing off their N90s.
Nice.
Does Six Apart's Loic Le Meur go anywhere these days without his N90 when speaking on the new directions in blogging?
Here he is captured at a bloggers gathering in Paris, where Rodrigo has reported the N90 was quite the hit.
Former Frost and Sullivan analyst Jon Arnold is putting the N90 through his paces.
He's now calling it his regular digital camera.
The clarity of his N90 photos are quite sharp. I wonder if he took the others with something else?
PCPRO, a UK based web site covered Les Blogs and references how the N90 is part of the vBlog revolution.
In what has to be one of the most complete reviews on the N90, MobileWhack has taken painstaking care to go through each of the modes of the N90 and explained them in great detail, complete with photography.
Alice Hill thinks the N90 is a great camera phone, but not so great of a phone due to size and some missing features.
This is exactly why we're posting all the reviews we can find. Everyone has different opinions and readers can relate to different reasons why, or in this case, some why nots.
While we wouldn't recommend this to everyone as it's very much potential Darwin Award material if the ending isn't so smooth, Niko Nyman takes his N90 outside and then snowboards downhill, vBlogging all the way....
A far eastern blogger at YASRANTS weighs in with his comment on the N90 and a few other phones.
We'll agree, you do have to read the manual for some aspects of the N90, but as time goes all, the features do seem to become rather intuitive.
Dave Aiello, the author of Operation Gadget, a blog that disects and examines many a cool device is warming up after doing some chores. Seems he, like Jonathan Greene is in the Snow Belt and the East Coast got a heavy dusting last night.
I'm intrigued that the initial reaction is to go the video blog route so quickly and am happy to see it. Dave, like Mr. Greene, will be using AudioBlog.
Here's one of Dave's first vBlogs...seems with the snow, Dave's chillin' out with his N90!
Bloggers, keep those podcasts coming.
Convincing a hard core Palm platform user to switch to another platform isn't easy. But Matt seems to be convincing himself and others on the power, grace and ease of use of the N90 to do all the tasks he's done with the Treo 650.
Matt also is digging into the additional on board features that the N90 has here in this post, pointing out the video editing capability already resident in the pre-loaded software.
Jonathan Green keeps the N90 with him all the time and is putting it through it's paces. Today we're seeing how New York City looks with a four inch dumping of snow and the mushy train station. He's mixing both video and still photography in low light situatuions on his posts, showing just how good the optics are on the N90.
MultiMedia Journalist for a leading national newspaper chain by day, blogger by night, Mike Wendland has layed out a one-two punch about the N90 this morning. A journalistic pro, he's already taken the N90 and begun putting the multi-media mobile phone through its paces.
Here's his blog short blog post , complete with some vBlogging going onand his even more widely read newspaper published review in the Detroit Free Press.
Joanthan Greene had posed a problem he was having so we gave him some insight on how to set up the advanced features for data on the T-Mobile USA network using the online Nokia N90 Configuration Wizzard.
The wizzard sends your settings to the phone by SMS so their's not a lot of guesswork. It works with most if not all of the major carriers on GSM.
Tiago Gaspar of Gadgets Weblog has some interesting facts and photos about the N90 in his latest post.
Between reading about the uptake of vBlogging and photo snapping I got to wondering where to find larger memory cards for the N90. One site is http://usamemory.net/dvrsmmcmemory.htmlUSA Memory. They seem to have good prices and an easy to use check out system. I just ordered a one gig card.
Update: It turns out these guys are almost neighbors with their operation less than a mile or so from my office. I met up with the owner. First class operation. Very up on the devices and he corrected my order to the new Mobile MMC card. It works like a charm too.
A review site called Best New Gadgets has a review of the N90.
One of the toughest critics on how bloggers are related in the blogosphere by companies is Jeremy Pepper of Scottsdale based POP-PR. Pepper was intentionally targeted to be a member of the Nokia Blogger Relations Program because Jeremy pulls no punches when he analyzes products and campaigns. The other reason he was targeted was he loves video so we felt someone like him would help us keep this program on track with it's mission to really be a blogger relations program by reaching out to bloggers who already have the ability to compare the N90 to other products they've used to do the things the N90 lets you do. That means talk, text, take pictures, email, web surf, shoot videos, moblog, vblog, etc.
As the PR person who helped Skype begin a blogger relations outreach over a year ago (I should know I was one of those reached out to) Pepper offers an intuitive approach to the business of relating to bloggers. Given he loves to work in multi-media realms as a professional, he's in a real position to put a multi-media mobile phone through it's paces.
Here's his first set of comments on the N90, some photos taken with it, how Jeremy plans to use his N90 and a critical disection of the program.
All About Symbian has done an outstanding job summarizing and presenting a balanced view of what the Nokia Blogger Relations Program is all about. Rafe has provided links to reviews of both bloggers in the program and more traditional media review sites as well. It's an excellent read.
Uber Blogger Ross Mayfield, father of Social Text and all around good guy gives the Nokia N90 high marks in his review and points out the integrated aspects of the multi-media handsets capabilties.
Hat tip to Susan Mernit for noting Ross' posting.
Corante's Stow Boyd found a photo of Loic Le Meur of Six Apart talking about the N90 at Les Blogs and posted it.
According to a report I received from Rodrigo nearly every blogger at Les Blogs was hot to get a N90 to begin vBlogging. i'm waiting for more details from one of vBloging's leading authorities.
