Nokia N90: final impressions
[Note to self: don’t write future reviews as a series of blog posts — gather all this stuff up and present it in a coherent fashion.]
The N90 has a little joystick on the side of the phone. This is primarily used in camera mode to control the flash, exposure etc., but it has some nice uses other than that. If you have a reminder that’s due, the phone will make a sound and show the reminder on the cover screen. You can use the little joystick to stop the tone or “snooze”.
However, this doesn’t work for incoming Bluetooth connections. You have to flip open the phone to accept those.
Speaking of camera modes, there are two. One is the “camphone mode”, with the screen opened in 90+90 degrees. The other is if you flip the camera housing 90 degrees with the phone closed. Then the cover screen becomes a viewfinder, and you can use the external joystick to manipulate your shots.
Update: you can also read SMS text messages on the cover screen. Cool.
