Large display and keyboard, GPS, AF camera, excellent messaging support
Very bulky, poor keyboard feel, UI/usability issues, bad connection management
It is obvious that the Nokia E90 was never intended as a smartphone for the average person. Think of it like a Leatherman multi-tool rather than one of the pint sized Swiss Army knifes that can be had at a drugstore for a few dollars. This is a big, hu...
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 Nokia E90 doesnt support U.S. 3G networks, and speakerphone volume is a bit weak. The handset is also heavy and bulky.

Abstract: Nokia’s E90 Communicator handset provides mobile email and office tools in a device about the size and shape of a spectacle case. It offers 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS, but its user interface may prove confusing to those more used to Windows, and its Wi-Fi suppo...
The highest points of the E90 are its browsing and PIM software, thanks to its Symbian Series 60 operating system. The Internet browser is one of the best available to date. Given the phones great resolution, color depth, and pixel density, browsing ...
800 pixels wide display that is perfectly readable in bright light, Keyboard with lots of shortcuts, Fully function smartphone when closed, Strong battery
Bulky size and lack of carrying case in the box, Not 100% of the Symbian applications are compatible with the Widescreen interface
The first reaction when seeing the E90 is that it is HUGE. That’s true, but we can live with this fact, having in mind the features it offers. It reminds of the Ugly duckling – a big and plain phone on the outside, but with huge comfortable keyboard an...
