User Reviews for Nokia Nokia E90 Communicator

  • Reviewed by: hojomo

    Duration of ownership: 5 Months

    Strengths: Choice of software, to keep you compatible with MS Office et al. Easily accessible microSD card, no taking the battery out, means you can easily take what you want where you want. Good battery. Indoors, use wifi to get on the Net NOT your mobile line!

    Weaknesses: Keyboard could be better, but it's still usable. Size, but that brings it's benefits!

    Overall Evaluation: Have to endorse tigersab2003 review - wonderful gadget! Convergence is my thing, and you don't get all that quality AND software AND usability in a tiny box - don't expect it! Yes, it's a lump, compared to a Motorola Razr2 V8 for instance, but that phone is not easy to open one handed either, and it doesn't pack half the goodies! You don't buy an E90 unless you want all it can offer - namely Convergence, so many things in one place. It comes with a weight premium, yes, but that can also feel like "substance". Most "converged" units, that offer a keyboard, slide or clamshell, are of some size, compared to just "a Phone with frills", and they address different markets and requirements. Superb tool, but you must need it to get the greatest benefit.

    Strengths: Has everything.. Wi-Fi, GPS, Video player, MP3 Player, 2 Cameras, Full QWERTY keyboard, with shortcut buttons to Calendar, Web, Messenger, Contacts, etc. Oh yeah, it's a quad-band GSM phone, too!

    Weaknesses: None really, it is a little bigger and heavier than most phones, because it is so heavy-duty and high quality made.

    Overall Evaluation: This phone is incredible! It is basically a mini laptop. Very easy to use, with menus and icons. It has a microSD slot that will take up to an 8GB card! It will even read your emails to you! Beautiful 4" screen. I just love it. Real hi-tech and high quality. You will need to read the manual to find out all it can do! Make sure you get the real Nokia made in Finland, not one made in China!
