I'd say it will be expensive to start, I'd say €550 - €700 without contract

Those mini hard disks don't come cheap!

I think the N91 is a great all-in-one device, I hope the price will go down a bit when sold by the operators.

You'll have in one box:
-mp3 player (with remote)
-fm radio (with remote)
-Voice recorder
-small digital camera
-PDA with wifi AND bluetooth
-a 4Go USB 2.0 storage disk (they used a "normal" mini-USB and like any USB storage you won't need drivers for most OS)
-and a nice phone with lots of features!

The only problem with this phone is that unlike the N70, it does not have a small camera on the keypad side for video conference (via 3G, bluetooth or Wifi...).

I'd give you an ipod but your hands are already full with a phone, camera and radio!

ps the fact the ipod doesn't have an FM tuner is criminal. What does those things cost to include? a dollar? or are they interested in you only listening to songs you bought through iTunes!

Gosh thats an ugly bugger, but a step in the right direction alright.

No doubt they will follow the path of the Creative Zen Micro and Ipod Mini and increase the HDD capacity over time. The 6gig drives are the same physical size as the 4gig drives so I presume its just a matter of time and cost..

A move in the right direction for Nokia. The 3 new phones announced are the first Nokia phone I have genuinely got excited about for along time..

Yep, I'd say this year will be the year of the hard disk phones! lots announced this year, lots delivered next year.

i also like the fact that they are paying attention to the phone lenses, a 7mp camera with a crappy lens is a waste of time!
