The Nokia N90 is a mobile phone, announced as part of Nokia's then-new line of multimedia devices, Nseries, on April 27, 2005.[1] It had a unique swivel design encompassing four 'modes'. It has two displays and has a camera with Carl Zeiss optics and integrated flash, and can record video with audio. The screen can be swiveled 270° to mimic the appearance of a camcorder. The camera lens can also be swiveled. The 2.1-inch display has a pixel density of 259 ppi, considered the most crispest Nokia screen at the time, and continued to be joint-highest with the N80, E60 and E70 for four years, before being beaten by the Nokia N900 in 2009 with 267 ppi. The Nokia N90 can print with some printers over USB or over Bluetooth.[2]
