Nokia N91 User reviews

By Asher Moses on 20/06/2006

More Nokia reviews , RRP: AU$1119.00

The good:

  • Stainless steel chassis
  • Huge 4GB hard drive
  • Superb display
  • Respectable battery life
  • Impressive music playback features
  • Integrated Wi-Fi
  • 3.5mm headphone jack

The bad:

  • Bulky
  • Numerical keys are too small
  • Expensive
  • DRM protected WMA and iTunes files not supported
  • Video playback quality is somewhat choppy

The bottomline:

The N91 sees Nokia take two steps forward with functionality and one step back in its design efforts, making the phone suitable for feature-mongers but not so attractive to budding fashionistas.

Phone keeps freezing just got it fixed now it turns off by itself and wont turn back on (and yes the battery was fully charge )

takes 30 mins to open music files even though i only have 3 music in it
freezes everytime i send a text message .... i could go on and on and on but a word of advice dont buy it unless its brand new reason being so you will be covered by warranty and save your self hundreds of $$$$$

Cons: software VERY UNSTABLE!!! (get ready to spend loads of cash)
keeps dying every 3-4 months

spent almost 150 bucks just to keep it running

IT IS THE BEST PHONE FOR MUZIX LOVERS. INSTEAD OF CONNECTING IN SHIRT, I CONNECT IT TO MY TROUSERS POCKET AND ONLY I HAVE TO CONNECT EARPHONE TO HANDSFREE OPERATOR PROVIDED.

Cons: USE IT VERY CAREFULLY. ITS DIFFICULT TO FIND A PERFECT PHONE LIKE THIS.

Great fone as far as i can tell but ive only had it for 2 days here is my thoughts of it so far

Pros: Not as heavy as everyone says

Great sound reproduction with earfones

The music buttons are handy

Lock switch on the top is a good idea

Radio has excellent reception

Metal case gives it a different look

Its a NOKIA

Great value for money

8 Gb HDD

Cons: Camera is very weak

Software can be a little unstable

Nokia suite is possible the most infuriating peice of software i have ever had the displeasure of using

fone GUI is a little on the annoying side untill you get used to it

I have been warned that the HDD is a little sensitive

One of the worst mobile phones I have ever owned. Incredibly unreliable with ongoing issues. Has been sent away for repair under warranty twice with issues still not yet solved.

Pros: Based on music.

Cons: Silder makes abrasive crackling sounds if moved when on phone.
Software incredibly buggy - slow and unreliable (can't even open up 'New Text Message' in time to catch someone before they leave); impossible to multi-task.
Incredibly bulky, heavy and ugly.
Poor quality camera.
Location of menu button.
Sharp edges of open slider disgracefully uncomfortable in hand.
Loudspeaker not loud and very poor quality.
