Nokia Announces Hard-Drive Phone

blorg writes "The new N91 features a 4gb microdrive and a 2 megapixel digital camera, and plays music in MP3, AAC and WMV formats. With this phone, Nokia reckons it has an iPod killer and aims to become the largest seller of portable MP3 players this year, having already outstripped camera manufacturers in the photography market. However, as the BBC points out, people are not necessarily buying these phones for their camera or music features."

How many?

[PeteQC]

How many ringtones can I download on this thing?

just a phone, puhleeeez

[yagu]

Arrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh! So, I guess I see my chances of EVER just buying a phone slipping even further away. Sigh.

Press, press, press, press, press, press, press..... Send..... Shoot! Was just trying to call home, and created a playlist, no wait!, took an upskirt (illegal in WA) and sent it to Mom, no wait!, ordered pizza from Amazon!

On Hold

Does this mean that we get to choose the music we get to listen to when we're on hold?

Nokia kills iPod...

[Hamstij]

With Nokia's history of exploding batteries, they could be closer to the truth than they realise!

Ipod killer?

[fakedupe]

Will this be anything like or as successful as their Gameboy killer?

Sorry Boss...

[coolgeek]

Uh, yeah I didn't get that call you see because unfortunately, I drained my celly battery listening to Kraftwerk.

...snap a picture or two of it, which helped identify which spider...

That's why I always carry a 2lb fire extinguisher with built-in MP3 player with me just in case.

Is their editor drunk or is this standard British English?

The Wandering Spider is one of the world's most deadliest spiders

Is this called a "double positive"? :-)

iPod killer?

[bi_boy]

Cos we all know how well the Ngage did in the portable games market.

Hint: not too well.

gb? Is that gram bits or gravity bits?

Re:with all that...

Since when was 72 hours not considered 'days?'

I know what you're saying, just picking nits.

Yeah, I know, the thing is heavy enough to crash a skull if launched at a high starting velocity. And as if that wasn't enough it can finish you off with ~15000 minutes of Britney Spears 'music'. Killer indeed!

Dude, digital cameras. These rank just above crayon drawings in the standard of evidence.

You just never know what will show up at that Michael Jackson trial, do you?

Obviously the spider is more deadly than "most deadlier" but less deadly than "mostest deadliest."

Well, on CSI they're always zooming in 100x on grainy VHS security camera footage so they can see the reflections in people's eyes, so with a digital camera they could probably zoom in enough to, I dunno, see the molecules in the suspects DNA.

Me, I'd settle for that computer that matches fingerprints in a state-wide database in what, 10 seconds? The one with so much computing power that it can waste time drawing each compared print onto the screen.
