Apart from one small country with a handful of mobile users the rest of the planet is on GSM (on 900 and 1800 MHz) and 3G (UMTS/WCDMA).

It is definitley not as slick as it could be, hopefully the unit is not too big/heavy or has crappy batterylife/processor.

The only weird thing is that little joystick. It seems that'll snag on everything when you pull it out of your pocket.

If this phone is carrier-free, then maybe Moto's phone'll be carrier-free?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/

#23, Wow, I'm sure missing out on some wild parties there! No offence, but I'm guessing that you're maybe not the target audience. :)

I'm loathe to join the Nokia/Apple debate, but this is a serious swipe at the iPod market, and if Nokia can get these subsidised by the networks, you'll be getting these for 50 quid in a year.

really folks, what else do you want in your pocket? I can't imagine how much this would cost, but it's everything I wish I had in one device.

I really wish apple had done this or hope they will do it... not just because of the looks, but because with all that stuff you'll need a really nice GUI which apple DOES have a knack for, which is the only thing that worries me about this phone...]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/

Easily done, given that Apple has some of the worst batteries in the market.


As for AAC, they said nothing about supporting Apple's "FairPlay" DRM.

AAC (like MP3 and WMA) does require a license, but in the case of AAC, it comes from Dolby (who owns the rights to AAC), not Apple.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/

Err, my PPC-6600 is pretty damn sweet.

How many GSM phones in the US support EVDO speeds? How many GSM phones support 1xRTT speeds EVERYWHERE?

GSM is great if you travel outside of North America a lot. For data in the US, Sprint is king right now - and they don't look ready to give that up anytime soon.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/27/the-n91-nokias-4gb-musicphone/
