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.

Duration of ownership:

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!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Cool design, plenty of funtions, ability to work with wireless WAN

Weaknesses: Difficulties with accessing phone numbers stored on a SIM card, power plug gets easily bent, too big for chest pockets, doesn't read Russian mp3 files' names, no touch screen

Overall Evaluation: This phone is pretty reliable but kinda big so you need to have large chest pockets. I was surprised with its ability to work with any wireless network, which are plenty around San Francisco. Its power plug is too tiny and I keep my eyes open when Nokia finally combines mini-/micro- USB for data and power connection for its new communicators. This phone accepted a 4Gb micro-SD card and I can listen my MP3 files now.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Nokia E90 is amazing phone,for professionals specially,I can say its a mini laptop notebook combined with mobile phone,model is a mazing beuty and very freindly to use,I recommendedit to my freinds

Weaknesses: Compared with N95 it has a camera 3.2 Mp and its front camera supporting only video conferencing not for routine use,carrying cases are difficult to find in KSA

Overall Evaluation: As a mobile phone it tops the list for best performence even if compared to iphone (price is cheaper 25%) and also its a mini laptop,Hats off to Nokia for this wonderful gadget
