Nokia E90 Communicator

It’s hard to tell whether this is a phone or a computer. It certainly isn’t tiny, which is one of the things that appeals to me, because, as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t have tiny little fingers. The E90 has almost every feature you could dream of and then some. It has the fastest processor currently used in Symbian OS smart phones. At 128MB, it also has the largest operating memory capacity ever used in a Symbian OS based device, with the recently announced UIQ3 based Sony Ericsson P1i being the only smart phone to offer the same.

Basic features include:

• Symbian OS v9.2
• S60 3.1
• Feature Pack 1
• 330 MHz OMAP2420 (ARM11)
• 128 MB RAM
• HSDPA 3.6 Mbps
• UMTS, EDGE, GPRS
• WLAN B/G 54 Mbps
• 3.2 Mpix autofocus camera
• VGA 30 fps video recording
• internal GPS receiver
• 128 MB storage memory
• microSD card slot
• quadband GSM
• 800×352 internal screen
• 240×320 cover screen
• full QWERTY keyboard
• Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
• FM radio
• stereo speakers - 2.5″ audio connector

After a few days getting to grips with the E90, you can only come to one conclusion. It’s not a phone. It’s a full on mini computer that happens to double as a phone. The camera quality is nearly as good as some mid range cameras and the GPS mapping is detailed and clear. One of the great things I liked about this is the fact that you can buy short term map licences for all over the World. Apart from the kitchen sink, the only thing missing from the Nokia E90 is Fax support.
