N90 Form Factor Question

[Chingar]

Will the N90 be able to twist the screen 180 degrees so you can have it be half the size, like the 6260? Also, any word on the price?

[carcomptoy]

No you can't twist it, although what would be the point? Yes, being able to use the bigger, more crisp screen is nice while in closed form, but that's what the external screen is for. The only reason the 6260 had that ability was to make up for the lack of external screen. Now that the N90 has a beautiful and large external screen, Nokia saw no need. Plus, that would affect the build quality and jeopardize the structural integrity...

As for pricing, just be prepared to pay 800 euros/$1000...I don't see how it could be any cheaper:(

Either that, or they just forgot. ;)

the sun newspaper, (their gismo section - this paper has a reading level of 3 years old but its the biggest selling paper in uk - says alot!) has said "but be prepared to pay at least £150 for the n90."...OMG £150 - goofballs...£150!

hmmm.. NOO.. the price of n90 will be less than 800 usd.. not more than that for sure... i read it somewhere the price is gonna be around 750 usd...

[Jose_R.A.M]

£400 is quite a good price for a phone of this calibre.

the 6630 is still £359 in some wierd shops...

$1000 is INSANE. $700 seems to much as well. How bout $500?

I see what you mean about the twisting. I still think it would be better to be able to twist it for internet browsing like the 6260. I think that the camera piece on teh other side is awesome. Won't it get in the way when calling?

Also, if it comes with 3G, how is it coming to the US?

Through independent phone shops such as those at your local mall, eBay, or online like no-air-time.com...or maybe Cingular or possibly T-Mobile will carry them in 5 years when it'll be obsolete:(

[Jose_R.A.M]

i wont be getting this on pay and go...most probably contract.

i take it the 700 euros in pay and go (prepaid/pay as you go) ?

[Toocool]

700 euros is Rs 38000.. why does the phone cost so much??? becoz of the C. Z lens???
