An 'up yours' on everything else
Sell everything—your phone, your laptop, your camera, and your MP3 player. Everything you need is here. This E90 is the most feature-packed phone to roll out of Nokia. It's made for people who need to stay productive 24/7 and maybe those who just feel the need to show something off.
The sheer size of the E90 should already give you an idea how serious it could be. Flipped open, there's ample space for a full QWERTY keypad and a widescreen LCD. Soft keys are located next to the display although they proved to be irritating to use. Quick Office apps come pre-loaded so you can keep on working whenever you please.
Phone and 3.5G capabilities are what you'd expect from a Nokia. The 800-pixel wide screen allows for amazing web surfing, comparable to that on an ultraportable lappie. Video calling is also a cut above the rest because you can rest the unit on a flat surface for true hands-free operation. The size however, proved to be the phone's only undoing. It's a tad large for Asians.
The E90 also knows how to have fun. Its 3.2-megapixel autofocus cam is amazing. The optics, though not of the Carl-Zeiss variety does the job marvelously both for photos and VGA video. Playback is awesome given the large screen and the loud built-in speaker - the combination of which makes the E90 perform more like a portable media player than a phone.
Battery life is an amazing three days with heavy use. that is, having used Wi-Fi, 3G, and the videocam for a combined four hours non-stop. The only thing that will make you put this phone down is when you reach your line's credit limit.

Playing games on the E90's uber-wide screen is a an experience in itself. The controls could use some improvement, though.
