Nokia's eagerly awaited N90 smartphone is finally out. The advanced camera-phone is the first device in the company's new six model strong multimedia N-series to hit the market. As with nearly all of the Finnish phone giant's advanced handsets, the N90 runs on the Symbian operating system (OS) and S60, formally Series 60, platform. What sets the smartphone apart from the pack is its camera technology. The N90 is the first camera-phone to integrate Carl Zeiss optics. As a result, the GSM/GPRS/EDGE (900/1800/1900 MHz) device purports to offer superior image quality with its 2-megapixel camera. To emphasize its picture taking capabilities, Nokia isn't making the N90 available through traditional channels—at least not at first. So, the $399 Nokia N90 is being sold with T-Mobile activation, but not directly from the carrier. Rather, the initial main outlet is Ritz Camera stores, as well as the retailers online sales channel ritzcamera.com. In December, select CompUSA stores will pick up the N90 as well, while the Neiman Marcus catalogue will feature a version of the handset without activation for those who already have contracts with Cingular (for example) here in the U.S. or want to take the smartphone abroad.
