Reviewed: Nokia 9290 Phone


A breif look at the hardware specs: the unit weighs 8.8-ounce and measures 6.1 by 2.3 by 1.0 inches. And yes, it feels huge in your hand. It’s packed with a 32-bit Strong Arm processor CPU and backed up with a total of 40 MB of flash RAM for the user, app and execution memory. An MMC slot provides for future expansion. The closed “phone” mode, the Nokia 9290 has a standard dial pad, flip out antennea and a six-line monochrome 0.8- by 1.2-inch screen which displays standard call info. Nokia rates the talk time at 10 hours and standby at 10 days. Open it up though and you reveal the gorgeus .4- by 4.3-inch 4,096 color display (640x200) and large keyboard. There is no touch screen so input is completed via the keyboard, direct to program hotkeys and a multi-directional shuttle key.
