The E90 is Nokia’s new top end enterprise-focussed device. However, as with the multimedia-focussed N95, Nokia have packed in an impressive number of features. The connectivity options include quad band EGSM, 3G connectivity (WCDMA and HSDPA), WiFi (802.11g), Bluetooth (including stereo audio support), infrared and USB (2.0 full-speed). There is also a 2.5mm audio jack for headsets, a FM Radio, a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and DVD-quality recording, and an integrated GPS chipset. All this in the standard Communicator clamshell form factor, which this time boasts an external QVGA screen with number keypad and a wide (800×352 pixels) internal screen with full QWERTY keyboard.


Nokia E90 Communicator is a strong link between the two business series. Probably the smartphone won’t be a huge market success, mostly because its sizes and weight, but it will surely replace successfully many of its co-series brothers such as Nokia 9300 and 9500, Nokia E61 or E65. Especially created to serve businessmen on the go, Communicator series smartphones had also been fitted with their own operating system – Symbian S80 to be able to meet any demands. But time passed and the ‘bulky’ S80 UI has been replaced with the new Symbian S60 3rd Edition, which is much faster and offers more functionality to the user. For that matter, I consider Nokia E90 being a huge step forward even if it’s just because it features the new Symbian 9.2 OS with 3rd Edition S60.

Nokia E90 Communicator Reviews From cnet

The good: 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.

The bad: The Nokia E90 doesn’t support U.S. 3G networks, and speakerphone volume is a bit weak. The handset is also heavy and bulky.

The bottom line: 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.
