Word on the inside is that Nokia will be launching the recently (fcc) approved 4GB hard disk music phone, the Nokia N91, on March 2nd. This handset was first announced back in April, together with the N90 and N70.

The Nokia N91 will feature a 2 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, Line-in for recording, Bluetooth, WCDMA, WiFI USB, Macromedia Flash Player, Music Shop, which will allow users to purchase and download music over the air, PC Sync of music files via Windows Media Player 11.

The N91 will also feature Universal Plug and Play, which offers network connectivity of PCs and other wireless devices. UPnP leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable control and data transfer among networked devices in the home and around the home. UPnP technology can be supported on essentially any operating system.

Other "insider sources" are saying that Nokia will be partnering with Bose, the premier audio maker for headsets. Unfortunately, Nokia won't be including Bose headsets in the Nokia N91 package. Upon purchase, you will get a 20% off coupon for SOME Bose products.

The price of the Nokia N91 is expected to be around $900.

UPDATE 1: According to Gizmodo, the N91 will be delayed once again to Q3 2006 due to Microsoft Windows Media DRM issues.

UPDATE 2: The information provided by Gizmodo was totally wrong. The N91 was delayed because of this issue last September. More and more sources are saying that this launch will happen in Q1 of this year, possibly on March 2nd.

Hi

We have had confirmation from Nokia that the N91 will be shipping in the first quarter of 2006. Not the third quarter as Gizmodo has reported. The DRM delay refers to the delay from before Xmas 2005 until the first quarter of 2006. There has not been a further delay.

Cheers
