Nokia Delays Carl Zeiss Camera Smartphone

Nokia announced its intentions to get back on the cutting-edge a couple months ago with the announcement of a series of new smartphones built on its Symbian-based Series 60 platform: the N90, N91 and N70.

One of the three, the N91, with its Carl Zeiss optics, has the potential to be one of the best camera phones ever released.

Speaking with Infosync, Nokia Multimedia Communications Manager Karoliina Lehmusvirta said the N91 will ship a coupleweeks later than expected.

Lehmusvirta asserted Nokia wants to "ensure a superior quality user experience in all aspects of the product."

It appears the N90 will still be the first Nseries model out of the gate, as Nokia said to would when annoucing the phone in April. The N91 was due for release during the second quarter.

According to Nokia, the N90's Carl Zeiss optics -- the first such handset -- the GSM/GPRS/EDGE (900/1800/1900 MHz) smartphone purports to offer superior image quality with its 2-Megapixel camera.

Nokia also implements a new flexible multi-hinge twist-and-shoot design that lets you rotate the smartphone's 262k color and 352 x 416 pixel resolution (both firsts for a Nokia handset) display to almost any desired position.

A second smaller screen supports 65K colors and a 128 x 128 pixel resolution. And both displays can be used as viewfinders.

Additional features include a built-in flash, red eye reduction, and the ability to adjust white balance and brightness. You can take pictures up to 1600 x 1200 pixels in size and record video at 352 x 288 pixels. The N90 can play back MPEG4 and H.263 video plus MP3, RealAudio and AAC audio files.

There's also 31 MB of integrated memory and an RS-MMC card slot for additional storage. Users can connect wirelessly to a printer or headsets, for example, with Bluetooth. The N90 also supports fast USB 2.0 for wired connectively.

A five-way joystick rests on top of the phone's keypad, and it bundles the normal suite of Series 60 Web browsing, messaging and personal information management (PIM) applications, as do the other members of the Nseries.

We'll let you know when the N90 ships, where it does, and how much it goes for as soon as that information becomes available.
