[jono675]

i wouldnt really call that a review though... more a list of features which u can get off the nokia site.

i think this chap would like a real, hands on experience. i know i would

and yes its better than the rokr by a long way :P

[jono675]

That's exactly it! I want to see one, and listen to it see what the quality is like. If it does have a 3.5 mm headphone jack that would be a definate bonus, as I could finally plug a good quality set of headphones into a mobile.

As for the ROKR, from what I can see, the only thing it has on it's competitors is that it is available!

[datamonkey]

i think you've hit the nail on the head there... the only way the rokr is competitive is the availability.

N91 defo has a 3.5mm jack, you can see it here

When is the Nokia N91 coming out?

[datamonkey]

tomorrow

*cough*

dunno... early 06... your guess for what that means is as good as mine tbh

[jono675]

Why is it taking so long? The N90 and N70 have come out (stamps foot) why hasn't the 91?

[datamonkey]

because it hasnt? thats about all i can say lol

its all todo with the DRM, but the exact details i dont know sorry

[jono675]

Apology accepted this one time

DRM eh, that's the thing that let's you play music from all different sites right?

[datamonkey]

DRM is digital rights management... which yeah is kinda that. its all about getting the certificates required to play music i believe.

[jono675]

Sounds complex to me, as long as it plays more than 100 songs at a time (unlike the ROKR) then that'll be a good start!

[Thunder10]

Tell me about it. They should at least give us some indication as to when it is coming out!!

[datamonkey]

they have...

first quarter 06 :P

[Thunder10]

lol, well more specific information!

[jono675]

I've looked around and that's all I can find as well, as far as Im concerned 4gb space without having to fork out for massive memory cards should be worth the wait.

[Thunder10]

Yeah, it definetely is worth the wait - 4GB, Wi - Fi, Symbian Smartphone and lots of other features. Was concerned about the battery life though, doesn't seem all that good for such a device.

[jono675]

I was thinking about battery life for the N91, I heard from a mate that they are planning on selling it with two batteries as standard, dunno if it's true.

[Thunder10]

I also heard something similar to that effect as well. I guess that partly solves the battery consumption issue. I guess your going to have to charge your phone everyday as well!

[jono675]

My current phone and battery are so old i practically have to charge it everyday anyway

I think what I'd do is get one o fthe charging docks, that way when I get home I could put it straight in.

[datamonkey]

you wouldnt need to buy one jono675, u get a "DT-10" desk cradle with the N91 in the sales package according to the spec.

[jono675]

Cool! SO you get a spare battery and a desk cradle thingy. Sounds like Nokia are really trying to avoid people complaining about the batteries running out. Don't mind if they do. Any news on when it's coming out yet?

[Thunder10]

I must say i really like the Desk cradle. Does it double up as a charger or is it just a N91 holder?
