At first glance, the Nokia E90 has a candybar form factor, but it opens up to reveal much more under the hood. |  | 
The full QWERTY keyboard and widescreen LCD makes it easy to view full Web pages and edit documents. | This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). When paired with a compatible 3G network that uses UMTS 2100 MHz connectivity, you'll enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless services with speeds up to 384 Kbps--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming. You can also take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility). The top of the phone has a standard numeric keypad, navigation pad, soft keys, and 2-inch color LCD (with a 240 x 320-pixel resolution). The internal screen has an 800 x 352-pixel resolution--capable of displaying the full width of a web page at once--and both displays produce brilliant imagery thanks to support for 16 million colors. A QCIF camera sits at the top left corner of the internal screen for video calls, while a lens on the back of the device captures still images up to 3.2 megapixels in size. Camera functions include an LED flash, red-eye reduction, and self-timer. You can also record video at up to VGA resolution and 30 frames per second. The E90 also has an integrated GPS and Nokia Maps application to provide help in finding routes and locating services. Getting on the Internet is easy with the E90. In addition to 3G UMTS (UMTS/WCDMA 2100 MHz) network connectivity, the phone also supports high-speed EDGE and GPRS data connectivity. The integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) enables you to make VoIP phone calls over an open network, and it offers a variety of security settings (WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, WPA-Personal). When used with a carrier data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can also be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. The E90's innovative built-in browser, one of many enhancements included with the device's Symbian operating system--known as Series 60 9.1 Version 3--offers full HTML viewing as well as support for page zooming, CSS, JavaScript and other technologies that will bring you very close to a desktop PC browsing experience. The E90 supports PC synchronization standards via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendars and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the device, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, and an alarm clock. Productivity tools bundled with the E61i include a word processor, a presentation viewer/editor, a spreadsheet viewer/editor, PDF viewer, and a zip file manager. The office applications are compatible with the most common features of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel (MS Office 97 or later). Robust contact and calendar applications are also included. With support for the MMS (multimedia messaging service), the E90 can send picture, video and text messages. Instant messaging is also supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client that supports POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols, as well as Microsoft Office-based email attachments.

 Best... Cell Phone? Handheld? November 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is definitely the best cell phone ever!
Of course this depends on your needs; however for business men as well as for developers, it is the best phone!!!
It's one of the only phones I know that has all connectivity options: Infrared, Bluetooth, WiFi (b/g) and USB (mini).
It's got a very fast 332 MHz processor with built-in 3D Graphics Accelerator.
Almost 80 MB free RAM for the end-user!!! (that's huge and prefect for it's OS; you can do lots of multi-tasking!)
MicroSD HC! (8 GB support confirmed; probably even 16 and 32 GB will work!!!)
The QWERTY keyboard is just perfect: takes very little time to get used to it and keys are big enough.
Both screens are awesome! You can play games, music and movies and read and write documents without burning your eyes.
It's 3.2 MP Camera is pretty decent (It's similar to Nokia N73, without Carl-Zeiss optics). It even records video at 640x480 at 30 fps!!!
It's got integrated GPS (with AGPS support).
I can't say there are cons; however this is what I would improve/implement in future versions:
-WCDMA 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
-5 MP camera with Carl-Zeiss Optics and Xenon flash (like N82).
-Camera lens cover (either like N73 or N82).
-Multiaxis (3 or 6-way) Accelerometer (like N82/N95).
-Pencil Key (Nokia removed this extremely useful key from newer phones; I got used to it with my previous N73)
-Magnetometer (Compass) like 6210 Navigator.
Hope this is useful for anyone thinking of buying this phone.
It's worth every single cent!!!
Regards,
Gonza
 One of the worst smart phones ever!! October 26, 2008

I bought this smart phone and sold it within 8 months, I bought it as all in one smart phone, but unfortunately I was very disappointed. Very, very slow with 2GB memory card, also it doesn't support most common Audio\Video files such as WMA, WMV, AVI, MPEG and (MP3\WAV) some sound channels and rate. Slow application loader and file explorer. The battery's life 90 minutes maximum when browsing the net with full charge. If you are looking for a smart phone or PDA, choose the HTC.
 Solid, capable with caveats. October 9, 2008

You could hardly ask for more feature-wise. This phone has every imaginable capability a cell phone/pda/microPC could offer. In many ways, it is far superior to the vaunted iPhone. to wit:
-has buttons. this has to be said. in usability (if not aesthetics) buttons beat touch screen any day.
-OPEN OS. Symbian is awesome because no one needs to grovel at the feet of a finicky, arbitrary bureaucracy to get their application out there. What this means for you? TONS of free and cheap apps. Youtube, podcast directly to phone(!), skype+ ALL instant messaging apps, etc you can even turn the phone INTO a wireless hotspot with free app
-True bluetooth. unlike... other phones the E90 readily talks to other phones, car stereos, etc..,
-great interface software for PC
-Internal storage using microSD (up to 8GB)
-pretty good 3.2MP camera/video
-very capable web browser and pages display very well on the widescreen
However, some drawbacks:
-basically, ugly. Not the worst we've seen but when closed the chubby candy-bar just ain't sexy.
-User interface is not the best and nowhere near as slick, polished and easy as certain fruit-branded phones or even the less-capable Sidekick line
Those arnt too big a deal to me but this is.. the single biggest design FLAW is the widescreen. Having a large screen is great.. but the implementation is poor. The screen is great for web browsing but not much else. The screen is too narrow but that rarely matters because the native media software (realplayer) and even alternate software such as Core Media Player or EmTube can't even use the screen. They remain confined to a square in the middle no matter what options you play with. The basic problem here is this phone uses the same OS version other phones with just a standard tiny cell screen use. Also the standard control buttons are frequently oriented wrong (app expects you are using a standard screen 90 degrees off) The OS is simply not built to use a bigger, wide aspect screen. There are some work-arounds for this, but none easy. A future firmware or symbian software update might help. Its a sore spot on an otherwise awesome product.
 E90 good choice September 24, 2008

E90, upgrading from a 9300 July 6, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I upgraded to an E90 after 1.5 years using a Nokia 9300 to it's limits.
My impression is that they made a list of every single complaint I had about the 9300 and addressed each of them! It's a fantastic cell phone and I love it.
- on the 9300 I didn't even bother looking at the outside S40 screen, I opened it each time even to place a call; with the E90, switching seamlessly from screen to screen just by opening and closing the phone, I find myself using the outside screen more and more, I even T9 type text in the numeric keypad!... the outside screen is great for one hand operation, great not to call too much attention to a full qwerty phone when I don't want to and great for the casual email read... I think if I didn't have the option of switching to the internal big and high-resolution screen I'd find myself cursing the QVGA outside screen, but knowing I have the option of a big screen at any time makes me more tolerant to the smaller resolution outside screen and I use it a lot
- the keyboard back-light is something you don't use all the time but when you do you realize how incredibly great it is
- the inside screen, with even higher resolution than on the 9300 is absolutely great
- the keyboard could be a little softer but the truth is that I find myself making less typing mistakes than with the 9300; the new layout is much better and the "joystick" much more precise
- vibrating alert is great but I miss the timed mode that makes it come back to the ringing General profile at a specified time
- the camera could have an optical zoom but it's good enough like it is... 640*480 30fps video is great
- sound recording and playback has very good quality
- the interface to the WiFi interface and to the GPRS/EDGE/3G APNs is great and makes me confident I'm in control of what is being used or not, unlike some complaints I heard with WM6 that you suddenly find yourself using EDGE when you wanted wifi, etc
- the GPS and Nokia Maps is awesome but I also use Google Maps a lot with it
- firmware/software upgrade through PC Suite is a blessing
- I had a 9300 (no WiFi) and an unlimited data plan, I find myself using GPRS (or EDGE or 3G) data much more often than WiFi in the E90 but in some situations, specially when you are away from your country and GPRS data is expensive, Wifi is very much welcome
- the 9300 Internet browser was a joke... very slow! when I found Opera Mini for it I never looked back to the internal browser; on the E90 the internal browser is very good, and the ability to play Flash and even YouTube video is very interesting
The single complaint I have about it is that it's S60 and not S80... the larger availability of software is welcome but I miss having a menu, I miss having more qwerty keyboard shortcuts, I miss the more elaborate S80 Calendar application...
Not S60/S80 related:
The few keyboard shortcuts it has are totally undocumented, I can't understand why.
Another complaint is the lack of a "open new window" command on the Internet browser... it does that when you click a link that instructs is to open a new window, but this command is not in the browser interface! I'd also like the Back command not to reload the page... would make it faster!
Last point: don't make the mistake of buying this phone and using a limited or expensive data plan, you'll be missing a lot!
