Nokia E90 Communicator

(26/02/08)
Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The Nokia E90 Communicator has a feature set as large as its size, satisfying the needs of the power business users. That said, we're disappointed by the lack of 3G.
Pros: ; The Nokia E90 Communicator is equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS, and has a solid set of productivity and communication features for the business user. The Symbian smartphone also has a full QWERTY keyboard and 3.2-megapixel camera.
Cons: ; The Nokia E90 doesn't support U.S. 3G networks, and speakerphone volume is a bit weak. The handset is also heavy and bulky.

Review of GSM/UMTS-communicator Nokia E90

(01/05/07)
Summary: On the reception front the handset does fine ¿ everything is up to any today¿s offerings. In the phone mode you hear what they say on the other end well, but it is a real pain to keep the phone in line with your ear for long sessions, you arm gets tired faster. All in all we have no grips with the E90¿s reception quality. The inbuilt... Read the full review

Nokia E90 Communicator Review


Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The E90 brings Nokia’s Communicator line bang up to date. It is crammed with features, but you pay a size and weight price for having them on hand.
Pros: ; A cross between a mobile phone and a laptop computer, the E90 may really be all the computer some people need.
Cons: ; The incorporation of both a widescreen and keyboard makes the E90 much larger than your average smartphone or PDA, which means it is big and bulky to carry around.
