Strengths:
Nokia N921. Networks: GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900; Connectivity options: 3G, EDGE, GPRS, WAP, Bluetooth, Infrared, USB, WLAN.
2. Weight w/battery: 191 g; Still image resolution: 1600 x 1200; Display Resolution: 320 x 240 pixels; Dimension: 4.2 x 2.3 x 1.
3. With two digital cameras / digital player / FM radio; Battery: 1Lithium polymer.
4. Digital Video Broadcast Handheld (DVB-H); mobile email; Internet Browser (WAP 2.0 XHTML/HTML multimode browser).
5. Vibrating Alert; Voice Dialing; Voice Recorder; Speakerphone; Alarm Clock; Calendar.

Weaknesses:
1. Size too big. Bulky and a bit heavy.
2. Higher camera resolution will be a big welcome.
3. Prone to picking up fingerprints, scratches and other marks.
4. Low battery life. Not so user-friendly.  No Vibrating alert.
5. Poor “flash” location. The normal handle position of a user in taking pictures will block the flash.

The Bottomline:
There is something undeniably cool about the Nokia N92 – the built in TV definitely packs that extra wow factor. Very clear TV reception. Broadcast quality (accredited to TV signal provider). Outside of that, the style is very ordinary. The phone is just like any other Nokia twisting, turning design phones.

Rating: 7 out of 10.
