The main camera is mounted in the barrel of the flip hinge, and at 2 megapixels will produce good results. However, unlike the N90 (and other high end camera phones), it does not have an auto-focus, which means that, like all fixed focus cameras, the ability of the camera is limited. Pictures from the camera seem to be on par with the N70, and as such are very good, but it would have been nice to see some of the N90's camera features rolled into the N92. As with other S60 phones, you can print via the USB cable (using PictBridge), via Bluetooth and (new to N92) via UPnP. As with other N series devices, the Camera and Gallery applications are a generation on from earlier Series 60 phones, with a greater range of settings and more intuitive controls and both benefit from the higher screen resolution.

The Nokia N92 has four different modes for simple and easy usage. The new view mode is especially designed for watching TV and video. To start watching mobile TV*, users simply need to open the Nokia N92 in view mode and press the Multimedia key. The Electronic Service Guide (ESG) contains information about the available TV channels, programs and services. Other mobile TV features include watching time of up to four hours, recording and 30 seconds replay.

The cellular connectivity means people can interact with the TV, through services such as voting, program feedback and additional web discovery. Further, the Nokia N92 supports the new Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, which provides a semi-transparent zoomed-out view of a web page that enables users to quickly orient themselves on a small screen. With an overall view of the web page, users can intuitively navigate to all corners of it as well as see the web page as it was originally designed.

The Nokia N92 is also an XpressMusic device, with up to 2 GB memory card support, offering storage for up to 1500 songs delivered through the built-in stereo speakers or a stereo headset. The entertainment experience is further complimented by FM radio with Visual Radio support*. Additional Nseries features include 2 megapixel camera for print-quality photos and email attachment support.

The Nokia N92 provides a rich range of connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, infrared, Bluetooth wireless technology as well as USB 2.0 (Mass Storage Class), which allows users to connect the Nokia N92 directly to a compatible PC for quick and convenient file transfers or downloads.

The Nokia N92, which is based on S60 3rd Edition and Symbian OS, is planned to be commercially available in mid 2006 in Europe, Africa and Asia, in countries where DVB-H services are available, with an estimated, unsubsidized sales price of approximately 600 euros.

Verdict

There’s no denying that this is one big handset (you’ve got to squeeze that digital TV tuner in there somewhere) and the keypad is not so hot, but they definitely delivered on the mobile TV experience. The big issues for most people are going to be the size and weight of the unit and the keypad. At 191g (6.7oz), it weighs more than many PDA phones. That's pretty heavy. It is also about the same size as a N90, though a bit wider and shorter. The keypad is very odd, being something like a rubber mat over top of a series of buttons. The feel is not that great, and when configured for TV viewing, the hinge makes getting at the softkey buttons quite difficult.
