The '''Nokia N90''' is a [[mobile phone]], announced as part of [[Nokia]]'s then-new line of multimedia devices, [[Nokia Nseries|Nseries]], on April 27, 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2005/04/27/twist-and-shoot-nokia-n90-makes-its-premiere |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714193817/http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2005/04/27/twist-and-shoot-nokia-n90-makes-its-premiere |archive-date=2014-07-14 |title=Twist and Shoot: Nokia N90 makes its première {{!}} Nokia}}</ref> It is notable for its unique [[swivel]] design encompassing four 'modes'. 

It has two displays and has a camera with [[Carl Zeiss AG|Carl Zeiss]] optics and integrated [[Flash (photography)|flash]], and can record video with audio. The screen can be swiveled 270° to mimic the appearance of a [[camcorder]]. The [[swivel lens|camera lens]] can also be swiveled. The 2.1-inch display has a pixel density of 259 ppi, considered the most crispest Nokia screen at the time, and continued to be joint-highest with the [[Nokia N80|N80]], [[Nokia E60|E60]] and [[Nokia E70|E70]] for four years, before being beaten by the [[Nokia N900]] in 2009 with 267 ppi. The Nokia N90 can print with some printers over USB or over Bluetooth.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.sellmyphone.org.uk/nokia/phone/nokia_n90 |title=Sell Nokia N90 for up to £1, ⇒ Compare Recycler Prices |access-date=2018-03-07 |archive-date=2018-03-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180308041739/https://www.sellmyphone.org.uk/nokia/phone/nokia_n90 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

It uses the [[Nokia Series 60|Series 60]] 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 3 user interface on top of the [[Symbian OS]] 8.1a operating system. Later revisions also shipped with Version 2 of the [[Nokia Lifeblog]] software. The Nokia N90 began shipping in Q2 2005 in most markets, but didn't appear in the [[US]] until Q1 2006. It was succeeded by the [[Nokia N93]].

The N90 was usually bundled with a 64 MB or 128 MB DV-[[RS-MMC]] memory card and a USB data transfer cable.

Complaints about the N90 include high [[price]], large [[volume|size]], [[mass|weight]], and "chunkiness."
