Maybe the ultimate cell phone? For $900 it better be...

Word on the inside is that Nokia will be launching the recently (fcc) approved 4GB hard disk music phone, the Nokia N91, on March 2nd. This handset was first announced back in April, together with the N90 and N70.
The Nokia N91 will feature a 2 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, Line-in for recording, Bluetooth, WCDMA, WiFI USB, Macromedia Flash Player, Music Shop, which will allow users to purchase and download music over the air, PC Sync of music files via Windows Media Player 11.
The N91 will also feature Universal Plug and Play, which offers network connectivity of PCs and other wireless devices. UPnP leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable control and data transfer among networked devices in the home and around the home. UPnP technology can be supported on essentially any operating system.
Other "insider sources" are saying that Nokia will be partnering with Bose, the premier audio maker for headsets. Unfortunately, Nokia won't be including Bose headsets in the Nokia N91 package. Upon purchase, you will get a 20% off coupon for SOME Bose products.
The price of the Nokia N91 is expected to be around $900.

i don't get how at twice the price it is any better than my Sony Ericsson K750i. Mine has the same camera, same functions (with mp3 player and what not), and is half the price. It only comes with a 64meg Memory stick but that can be upgraded to a 2 gig stick for under 150 bucks. Plus, I would rather have a memory stick than internal memory as the memory stick can be easily switched out for use in other devices such as printers, computers, and other devices.

Im loving my K750i too, it has everything someone could possibly need! BTW are you on W800 firmware?

My dad has the Nokia 8801 and honestly it looks amazing, it pulls of the best look when you wearing a suit. The thing is that its feature less...

My Ride: has been upgraded!
The 8801 is my favorite phone out right now. It's absolutely the best looking phone ever sold, IMO.

so basically you'd pay 900 dollars for a phone that takes good pictures? I can get a digi for about 250 that would outshine any phone camera. Just doesnt make sense to pay 900 for a phone like that. I personally have a Treo 650 and it does everything i need it to. I can play music, rip dvds, connect to WiFi, and so much more for over half the cost of that nokia.

That would mean buying more of Sony's shitty shit. Memory stick. Ha! What a joke.
