I was very excited to receive one of the first Nokia N91s to come into the country a few weeks ago. I was made aware that it was amongst, if not the first unit to arrive via a letter accompanying it saying so. In retrospect however, the fact that it came from a PR company means it’d benefit them to make me think so, but I’m fairly sure it’s at least amongst the first.
It came however, not in its original box, but in a (very nice) Nokia backpack, filled with the requisite manuals, cables and a set of very nice speakers and a headset. After some investigation it turns out the speakers weren’t inclusive and were only there to help prove the sound was up to par and connecting to it was easy, via a standard 3.5mm connector, placed conveniently at the top. This allows you to just slap it onto your average stereo headset or amplifier, bringing your sounds along with you, which is the point of this particular phone.
I used it for most of a full week, and liked it a lot. Nokia makes models for every specific target audience in each model lineup, and the N91 is it’s music player model for the N-Series. So while it has the required connectivity and other features (triband, 3G, Bluetooth, 2mb cam, USB, etc.) seen throughout most of the N Series, it’s particular strength is its music player, featuring Windows Media Player 10 and the clincher = 4gb. hard disk.
Apologies for the corny title as titles have always been my waterloo, but at any rate, it’s fairly apt.
Up to the time I decided to write this, I couldn’t figure out whether I liked
I’ve no idea who she/he is, what she/he does, where (I’ll just choose she) she gets here info, and who those people are she talks about.
The Amoi Blue speaks “Cheap” from the moment you open the box, take out the contents, ditch the manual (which is all in Chinese so you’ve no choice but to ditch it), and use it.
My old phone has been wanting to be put to pasture for almost a year now, and cheapskate (I prefer to call it ‘practical’) man that I am, I’ve been holding off on buying one for just as long.
