Filmmaker Casey Neistat can’t go 45 minutes without talking about cell phones. At least that’s what his brother Van believes: “He’s one of those nerds whose whole life revolves around tech stuff. No matter what the conversation is, he’ll lead it towards cell phones.”

“I am a bit of a gadget freak,” concedes Casey, who turned 24 last week.

So, it was with great pleasure that he discussed with us his latest acquisition -- a Nokia N90 that twists, shoots video, and is impossible to find in the U.S.

The Background Story: “Nokia makes the best cell phones in the world. They’re one of the few companies, along with Apple, that seriously considers its customers, which is why they have loyal followers.”

So, when Nokia announced eight months ago that they were coming out with a camera phone, which had Carl Zeiss optics and shot video at 30 frames per second (with the same resolution as “the old VHS cameras that our moms used to carry around on their shoulders”), Casey was all over it. He ordered it from a dealer -- “called NYC Cell Phones, or something” -- who got it straight from Finland.

“Three weeks ago, some guy delivered it to me, by hand, to my studio. It was a little shady. No one offers tech support. I have to call Nokia if I have a problem.”

The Price: “I’m embarrassed to say, like $600.”

His Assessment: “I like to videotape everything.” Fortunately for him, the phone can hold two hours of footage on its removable memory card, which he imports to his computer and edits. Of the video quality, Casey asserts, “It’s not just good, it’s good enough.”

But What About The Phone Part: “I’m talking to you on it now. Sounds fine, right?”

His Ring Tone: “It’s called ‘Broken Phone Ringer.’ I downloaded it. It sounds like an old phone that’s broken.”
