Over in 3G forums, Labourpains has been having big problems with his N91. The device keeps crashing and then losing all his track lists, even after he formatted the hard drive. He has said "as good as it is when its working I haven't got time for all this s**t."
Nokia does offer this N91 help, or hit this link to join the thread.
Howard Forums community members are discussing N73 firmware and the possible upgrade to the Music Edition version.
Our pal Darla Mack has decided it’s not worth the risk since there's no improvement in audio quality. She's advised N73 users that the only way to attain sound quality that equals the N91 is to actually buy the N73 Music Edition.

Max47, from Italian community Nokioteca, has recently bought a used N91 and is having problems with the HS-28 headset. Could this be due to the device's recent firmware update?
We think it's far more likely that the headset is faulty. I am not aware of any N91 users who have updated their N91's firmware and experienced headset problems as a result.
Max47's first step should be to try another headset. If that fails, get down to a Nokia Service Centre.

Mobile-Review member Djdead is due an upgrade and has asked for opinions on the N80 and N91.
It seems the N80 has been forgotten in favour of the N73. So now Djdead has to decide which features he needs most, the N91's huge 4GB harddrive and WiFi or the N73’s impressive 3.2 Megapixel camera.

Esato community members are discussing the Nseries, particularly the soon-to-launch N95. Shaliron claims the N91 has disappointed from the start, with an innovative spec list that didn't quite turn into a ground-breaking device.
Certainly a bold statement, but is it a true one? Follow this link to join the discussion.
Some users' N91s are still returning to the default theme if the device is charged while switched off.
We have covered this issue before (see here). Installed themes must be saved to the device memory - as opposed to the hard drive - if this annoying occurrence is to be overcome.

The MobileBurn community are chin-wagging about the N91 8GB. Pallister can’t wait for the black option but nJ7 doesn't think the 8GB version offers much more than the original.
I think I speak for all N91 enthusiasts when I say that the stereo Bluetooth that the 8GB version features is a function we have all been eagerly awaiting.

What Mobile forum members are discussing a recent study (see here) which proves that men use their mobile device to impress the ladies and show off to their friends (did we need a study to prove that?!!!).
Clonmult has suggested that the N91 would be good for lending to girls to use as a mirror. That certainly won’t be an option with the black N91 8GB!

Majormen from 3G forums is a bit frustrated. He can’t update the firmware on his N91 and has asked the community for other methods to update firmware.
Unfortunately, online firmware updates are restricted by operators and region (read Nokia FAQ question 6 here). My advice, get down to a Nokia Service Centre and don’t attempt anything that will invalidate your warranty.

Some tricky decisions are being made over in Howard forums. CAF_2[Ru$] and Dre180 can’t decide between the N93 and the N91 8 GB (when it’s released).
The real decision to be made here is, do you want a fantastic music player (N91) or a brilliant video camera (N93)?
Click here to provide your input. OH… if you’re interested, there is also a mention of Nokia USA confirming stereo Bluetooth, hit this link to see the evidence.
Gewakefie has upset fellow What Mobile community members by insulting the Sony Ericsson Walkman range. It seems the statement ‘the walkman line is bull***t’ hasn’t gone down too well! Tetstb has reacted by claiming the w850i has a much better music player than the N91.

Biggster from Howard forums has asked fellow community members what makes the N91 the best mobile device for music lovers?
I would argue that, without a 3.5mm jack, a mobile device cannot even be put in the music device category. What’s your view? Is it even the best music-centric smartphone?

If you need some positivity in your life then take a look at el_carlos’s post on Nokia Symbian, a popular Italian community.
To say el_carlos is completely happy with the N91 would be an understatement. El_carlos can’t imagine ever using a different mobile device. Even the soon-to-be-released 5 Megapixel N95 can't tempt this N91 fanatic.
If you too love the N91, or simply want to learn what makes it such a cool device, click here. See the translation here.
If you’re feeling confrontational then pop over to Overclockers. -I-Am-Great- has asked the community for advice on the best MP3 player. The N91 has been suggested and DAP fans are up in arms as a result.
It seems one of -I-Am-Great-'s requirements is that the MP3 player has to be black, so the soon to be released 8GB version is definitely a top contender.
Follow this link, roll up your sleeves, and get discussing.
N91 user Bread5tick from 3G is experiencing an irritating little problem. Video files cannot be accessed from the media gallery and have to be accessed via the file manager.
The obvious solution for such a problem would be a hard reset (*#7370#) and/or a firmware update (see here). However, Bread5tick has tried both with no success.
Although not a perfect solution, changing the memory selected to store files (hard drive or device memory) may help.
Camera > Options > Settings > Video > Memory in use > select
If this fails, take a trip to a Nokia Service centre.

Over in Mobile-Review the What Mobile awards are being discussed. Jo and SuperChimp think the N91 should have taken the No.1 spot in the Music Phone category.
It’s been a disappointing time for N91 fans recently. In the Mobile Choice awards the N91 didn’t even get a mention (see previous post here). If it’s any consolation, Nokia won the ‘Best Manufacturer’ category.

Esato member HOBBS is being warned off the N91 by other community members listing negative features. Adjectives such as ‘huge’ and ‘heavy’ are being mentioned.
The N91 isn’t tiny but it’s not all doom and gloom. Consider the spec: 4 GB memory, WiFi, 3.5mm jack, 2 Megapixel camera, intelligent music player with dedicated buttons…… You can’t fit all of this inside a matchbox!

If you’re having problems locating apps for your N91 then you will love Gabri Nokia 7610 from Italian community Nokia Symbian. Gabri Nokia 7610 has kindly collated a list of N91 compatible apps.
This is a really useful list and is available here.
