Nokia E90 Released
I’m happily using my Nokia E70 for quite some time now. However, as an ex-user of two Nokia Communicators, I couldn’t help yesterday but wonder if Nokia will release a better version of its Communicator series.
Voila - then I found the news that Nokia E90 has been launched !
The Nokia Communicator series has been notorious for being slow and missing common high-end features, and a few other ugliness. I was so pleasantly surprised that E90 will be the first Communicator that won’t be so. Check it out :
- Slow ? Nope, E90 uses the same processor as N95 & N800, and very speedy ! It’s able to do fullscreen video playback smoothly.
- Weak / cheap feel ? E90 now sport strong hinges, and feels solid overall.
- Internal memory ? 128 MB overall, usually leaving 80MB free. This is one problem on E70 - turned out it has small internal memory, so sometimes it’s not able to run more that a few apps simultaneously. No such problem with E90.
- Connectivity ? it’s worthy of its name - Quadband GSM, bluetooth 2 w/ A2DP support, WiFi, USB 2, GPRS, EGDE, UMTS (3G), HSDPA (3.5G). Very, very nice indeed. No fax though, but you can workaround this for example by subscribing to Internet-based fax service.
- Camera ? no more weak VGA cam - it’s now a 3.2 MB camera with LED flash plus an internal cam for video calls !
- Other features ? GPS - finally ! Stereo speakers, 3D, FM radio, now also vibrates (!), updateable firmware via Internet, etc.
E90 is what 9500 should have been. Now it has all the important features, and then some. Very well done Nokia. When I got this, it may very well cause my laptop to gather dust at home.
Looking forward to its launch in Indonesia.

i don’t think it has GPS capability per se, but A-GPS, assisted GPS (look it up on wikipedia, it uses LBS).
.
and i’m just tired with jack-of-all-trade-master-of-none devices, lately i’ve been thinking about blackberry. its YM client has conferencing capability, could you find this on WM/symbian/java? it’s really interesting, if BB could run opera mini flawlessly, then i’m sold.

many news from 3GSM Barcelona. E90 is launched along with E65 and E61i. E61i only differs in 2mp camera,nav keys and microSD to the old E61. *stick to my old E61.. but staring jealously to E90 :)*

@Ryosaeba - PC is a perfect example of jack-of-all-trade finally becoming a master-of all-trade
Games? No longer Amiga / Commodore. 3D modelling? It’s no longer SGI. Server? PC servers have caused serious decline in mainframe / big server sales. And so on.
.
After using the Communicator series for years, I think finally it has starting to become a master-of-some-trades.

@Amellie - hi, thanks for letting me know of the problem !

Here I’m using Spam karma 2 plugin to combat the spammers. Sometimes, very rare, it will show that error message.

Don’t worry, it’s just some kind of session time-out problem. Just reload the original page, entered the comment again, and all should be ok.

thanks

kenapa yah aku kurang suka pake nokia…
atau karena ngga kebeli yah? hihihihi….

Yeah…I like it! The vibrates mode surely will help when the environment is loud and won’t have the miss calls on it anymore. I don’t know..but somehow I get the feeling that the size is a little bit big and some spaces are there without efficient needs. But can’t wait to see it by my ownself. Rgds

@Restu - if it manages to be smaller than 9500, that it’s better
