Nokia E90 Communicator reviewed

Our envy runs deep on this one -- My-Symbian somehow managed to score Nokia's new megaphone (well, not "megaphone," but you know what we mean), the E90, long enough for a comprehensive rundown. They seem pretty delighted with the device's feature set, and we can't say we blame them; what's not to like? Stand-out goodness included the revised keyboard with concave keys, full-function external display running S60 with full access to the phone's functionality, integrated GPS, and a fabulous internal display with 800 pixels of horizontal resolution. My-Symbian wasn't as pleased to see that some of Series 80's unique functionality disappeared along with the operating system itself, but on the whole, it seems that S60 has filled in the gap pretty smoothly.

And, what't the network? Orange Poland ;) - and on the pictures taken with E90 you can see the capital of Poland - Warsaw :>

Michal - of My-Symbian fame - had that phone months ago and was embargoed from reporting it - per comments he made on the site...several months ago. And, yes, he is Poland.

I really like reading Engadget, but if you guys are going to comment on what is said in the article, at least comment correctly... I read the same review this morning and don't know where you got that the author "wasn't as pleased to see that some of Series 80's unique functionality disappeared", I mean really, where did you get that???

He (the author) made the comment that you can't highlight text in the browser as you could with the old (series 80) communicator.

I love my E61 but i want the upgraded OS with hsdpa and 3.5mm jack. This looks ideal.
