The HDD-based, music playin'
N91 might've been
panned by the critics, but a 4GB musicphone still isn't nothing to scoff at, and now the phone is doubling up the memory with 8GB, for even less scoffing opportunity. It's also been spiffed up in a slimming black -- this phone needs all the slimming it can get -- and now features A2DP support for some much-needed stereo Bluetooth action, but otherwise remains the same old clunker with a heart of gold. We would think at least they could've added in some stereo Bluetooth support, but no dice there. The good news is that Nokia has beefed up the software support with their new "Music Range" phones, so things should be a bit more enjoyable on that front. As for price, you're looking at a hefty 550 euros ($700 US), the same as Nokia's new
N95 awesomephone, and a release date sometime before the end of the year. Keep reading for a few more pics.

"...we would think at least they could've added in some stereo Bluetooth support, but no dice there."
uhm...so which one is it? :P
and from the department of redundancy department...
For sure... The post seemingly contradicts itself. I wonder if we are missing something...
SO.... this phone has Bluetooth headset support.. but no bluetooth? What gives guys?
Wow sweet phone and @ 8 gigs for music, it's a killer. The lack of bluetooth is sort of a killer, but personally, I don't see many people using the bluetooth option very much. BT headphones are another thing.
The original n-91 had bluetooth support, this one just adds the bluetooth headset support and the 8gb hdd.
I have the 4gb n91 and its great! hated carrying so many different devices... and it has better sound quality than the ipod.
i can vouch for that because i have the ipod photo and the n91... i transferred the same song and set similar volume levels on both plus hooked them up to my bose system... and on both occassion the n91 sounded better.
go nokia!
I just wish it had the smartphone components that the n95 had, at least the GPS, that would sell me on it, cuz I already have a ZVM and a bluetooth phone, but that won't get me cross-country when ditching school for a roadtrip
NICE ONE! i was mugged in Baecelona a few days ago and had my n91 and my ER4-ps nicked :*( This kinda makes my day :D I loved mmy n91 it was my prain some days. Other then the tiny tiny keypad, this phone was pretty kickasstastic!
The plural of euro is euro.
Should I get it? Or should I get a sidekick 3? :P
Yes.. what's the deal with bluetooth headphone support? Will it be there or no? A pretty important issue for a music phone if you ask me...
which is it???!?
This is nice, but I never saw the original N91 at any of the local cellphone stores. Where do you get one and which carrier?
nah, plural of euro is euros :-)
It all comes down to battery life for me, and because it has an HDD, I doubt the battery would be spectacular.
Just a shame its the ugliest phone in the history of the Universe.
All what I can say about recent Nokia phones - BATTERY LIFE! It just plainly sucks.
- Nokia 7370 glamourophone lived less than a day.
- My overpriced new Nokia E70 manages to live only 1.5 DAYS just laying on the table WITHOUT ANY CALLS AT ALL during weekend. Specs state that its "7.2—9.3 days in standby" (WTF?) - just a load of marketing bulls**it.
My wife's new SE W810i lives A WEEK with extensive radio/MP3 usage.
So I would not be too optimistic about this one as an MP3 player. Nokia currently sucks at making proper phones.
P.S. Also they have the worst support I've ever seen.
will this nokia n91 music edition have blutooth or not because i want something would have both.
This new N91 8gig does have support for stereo bluetooth headset. I have used it and it has improved a lot, better Gallery/Image viewer support as well, bluetooth headset support and home network sharing support as well!
Would like advice re: whether I could integrate the N91 with my car stereo system .... at least the audio if not the controls as well.
Thanks!
This new N91 8Gig does have Bluetooth stereo support, that I can confirm with you
