One very significant change from the 9500 is under the hood. This is a Symbian S60 (Series 60) smartphone, rather than the Series 80 operating system on the 9500 and 9300. Although this seems like a step backwards (because Series 80 was written specifically for this type of device), S60 support gives E90 users access to a much wider range of applications. Nokia 9500 users should adjust quickly to the new interface.

As with previous models, the Nokia E90's software capabilities are impressive. It includes a document editor called Quickoffice, can view Microsoft Office documents, work with Zip files and PDFs and there's a comprehensive set of Personal Information Management tools. Because this is an S60 device, more applications can be added. although most will need to be adapted for the E90's display.

Another important feature is the Nokia E90 Communicator's inbuilt GPS function. This allows for more than just basic location-based services, as Nokia are going to make it's 'Nokia Maps' application available. Although this seems to be a free SatNav (satellite navigation) package, it's worth remembering that a lot of the value added features require a network connection which might incur data costs.

On top of all the other features, the Nokia E90 Communicator is also a multimedia phone, with support for MP3 and AAC audio plus video clips. There's even an FM radio. Data and media clips can be stored on microSD cards with a maximum capacity of 2GB.

Did we mention that it makes phone calls? Because the thing with the Nokia E90 Communicator is that it is essentially a tiny handheld computer rather than a phone. although, of course it does work exactly as you'd expect. Talktime on GSM is quoted at up 5 hours with a maximum of 14 days standby. Of course, Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G use will shorten that time.

Nokia say that the E90 will initially be available during Q2 2007 with full production coming onstream in Q3, although from past experience we wouldn't be surprised if it was late. All of this technology comes at a price, at the E90 will cost around €800 / £500 / $1000 before tax and subsidy, around the same cost as the 9500 at launch.

In conclusion, the Nokia E90 Communicator is possibly the most feature packed handset we've even seen with surprisingly few compromises. It's big for a phone, but tiny for a GPS enabled multimedia computer. At Mobile Gazette, we've been a big fan of the Communicator series, and you can bet that we'll be eager to get our hands on this latest incarnation.

Dear friends
This is pushkar here..hey i want a second hand e90 anyone intrested in selling the phone can please contact me on my no.09370016639..
Hi guys .. Need a bit of help. I need a business phone. Used E71 for quite sometime, but it got dead so need to buy a new one. Can some one suggest e90 is better or e75, in terms of usage and looks . I just heard that e90 is not being manufactured anymore by the company, so slightly hesitating . Please suggest .
How is e90 black different hardware wise? How loud is the volume while talking ? How is the battery life with heavy usage like wifi, gps, internet etc. Is the fm stereo or mono? Does all applications use full screen on internal display? Ppl who r using e90 and r sure r welcome to answer the queries. And does the web page fits the screen and easily readable so that u need not scroll it horizontally on internal display?
hello e90 users. i just want to know if this is just a business phone to use not for entertaiment kind of thing. cause im planning to buy one. pls i need some advice
Sid, 22 Jul 2009hey there i want to change my E65 so i have the choice between a E90 - N97 which one do yo.. moreGet N97
Anonymous, 18 Jul 2009this mobile is so big and heavy and it has a poor camera and low video quality and no touch screenOf course it is not touchscreen, bcause it's not a 'for fun' phone and it's heavy because of its battery and double screen (also double keyboard). In my opinion, E90 much better than N97, especially its QWERTY Keyboard.
Sid, 22 Jul 2009hey there i want to change my E65 so i have the choice between a E90 - N97 which one do yo.. moreHi! I have BOTH an E90 and a N97. The E90 is MUCH better for typing, and the screen is bigger for reading e-mails and sms's. The keybord is MUCH better, but my kids like the N97 becuase they play games on it - BUT the E90 is also good for MY kind of games. So it just depends on what you want to use it for, but I'll DEFINITELY take the E90!!
THIS is still the best phone on the market. I use an iPhone for fun, and the E90 for work. I just tried a N97 for a week. It does NOT come close to the E90..
for work AND for ease of operation.
WHEN are we getting a new, bigger, better E90??? One that can FAX again, and one that can searc under COMPANY as well, at least!
