You can say what ever you want about the N90; I like it!
I've had one for about a week now and it really does appeal to me.
I've never been a fan of Nokia at all. Tried a few and they've all been like a shue that doesn't quite fit.
The N90 is totally different than the other Nokias I've tried.
It's classy and easy to use. A bit big and bulky but still an eye catch and a phone with a WOW-factor.
Pictures are great and the video recorder is just awsome!
The twistable screen and lense makes it really easy to hold the phone still and get good quality videos and pictures.
Dislikes...
The button release button for taking pics and videos are placed too far up on the side of the phone. This makes it too easy to find yourself holding a finger in front of the lense.
The battery cover, you need this off to change SIM card, is a joke.
The only way to get this cover off is by using a pin or a pen. The design makes it next to impossible to release the cover without using "tools".
All in all, I can recomend this phone to anyone who is not too fuzzy about size, or weight, and have a bit of extra cash to spend. It's expensive but worth the money.

Oh thank god, someone who actually LIKES the N90!
I'm expecting mine to arrive on Tuesday (I'm getting quite impatient now lol), but after reading through 15 pages of insults, I was starting to get worried!
I notice that a few ppl have said it doesn't vibrate - according to the seller of mine and nokia.com, it does have vibrate (and T9 which I really missed while using a 9500)
I'd just like to mention that some ppl actually LIKE the 'bigger, heavier' phones, I like to feel the weight of the phone in my pocket (or I'm constantly checking my pocket to make sure it hasn't been nicked!). I also find smaller buttons a lot harder to get along with, I'm a fast texter and small buttons mean more mistakes.
I've had both S60 and UIQ and lately a S80 and so far I must say S60 wins hands down! In fact, if I don't get on with my N90, I shall sell it and go back to my retired 6600!

The N90 is indeed a good all arounder.It does take nice pictures even in bad lighting conditions,has got a proper macro function and is not plagued by all sorts of firmware problems like others.(is using the tried and tested S60 OS ! ) This is a SE forum, so people will grill you just for mentioning the name. Now, where are you going to buy yours one from and for how much ?

Well I got mine yesterday, and so far so pleased...
I am a SE guy, but I think Nokia`s with this model has the right idea! A bit bulky, but so am I
The camera is great, and videocapturing is also exellent. While we await for SE to release )950, Pxxxx, or whatever, I`m gonna stick with this one for a while...
