With two displays and a weight of merely 173 grammes, the N90 multimedia mobile phone offers two operational modes for spontaneous photo and video shots. With the unit closed and held horizontally, a simple twist of the camera barrel automatically activates the 2-megapixels camera with autofocus, 20-fold zoom and Carl Zeiss optics. A special camera key and the cover display serving as viewfinder facilitate easy operation. After folding out and turning the main display in the centre part, the user can also record videos with the N90 in MPEG-4 format with an eightfold digital zoom. A high-resolution colour display in landscape format serves as viewfinder. Photos and video clips can be saved with the integrated memory storage and directly edited within the unit. The multimedia palette additionally features imaging, smartphone and 3G functions, amongst them video telephony, real-time transmission of videos during a phone call as well as push e-mails. An organiser function, video streaming and an Internet browser are also included.
