Flashback: the Nokia N91 was legendary for its audio quality, but was a one-off

22 December 2019
It failed to kill the iPod as it was intended to do. Also, its micro HDD and slider with music controls design didn't catch on.

    What an absolute beauty .

    I remember the shopkeeper pushing the N91 to me in 2006 boasting of its ability to store 3000 songs.

    But I chose the N70, the allrounder

    Remember "quality without a label"

      Way back I would have killed for this phone. I was just discovering my love for technology and It was marvelous to find so many technological innovations in one phone!

      I even enquired about it in stores around 2016.

      If there's one phone I'd be asked to own from history it'll be a tough choice between N91 and N9.

      We miss you Nokia of old!!!

          Thanks for the article.

            Most of my cellular phones were Nokia. Best in battery, best in durability, best in quality...during it's time.

              These days phones don't even need a good DAC like Toshiba or good amp like Harman Kardon.. All work is done by the Usb/lightning dongle or Bluetooth.. Phones don't dictate sound quality anymore.. It's the earpiece that does now.. A cheap entry level Lenovo with a great Sony headphone can beat an expensive iPhone with a cheap Earpod

                Legendary audiophile phone.

                  how i wish for the original Nokia will revive.
                  when it comes to quality way back years ago Nokia
                  is the undisputed King

                    Nokias was the best during their time. I have had a lot of them to be honest. I never had the n91 but was always in awe. But if u asked my opinion which nokia i preferred, it is the communicator. How i wish they would come back with it. The nearest thing to that is the expensive samsung fold 😖. Anyway, great read! I hope nokia makes a comeback in this industry.
