Nokia E 90, smartphone for young and energic people!

The Series E Nokia has earned a reputation as a game of average power for users of smartphones. Just take a look at the Nokia E61i and Nokia E65, if you need proof. And now, you have the granddaddy of them - the mammoth E90 Nokia Communicator. A descendant of the Nokia 9300, the E90 provides solid performance and more features - Wi-Fi, GPS, the latest Symbian operating system, and more - to the client company. However, we could not help but be disappointed by the lack of support from the 3G on the E90, the omission and it is even more difficult to swallow when you realize that you cost around $ 1100 (although you can probably find hundreds of dollars less online, but still) for an unlocked version of this handset. The Nokia E90 Communicator is a strong unit, but if you are looking for an affordable solution comparable and more at the AT & T Tilt. Design The Nokia E90 Communicator is a mammoth. The handset measures a whopping 5.2 inches high by 2.2 inches wide by 0.7 inches deep and weighs 7.4 ounces, so you can almost forget this shift in a pant pocket comfortably anyway. At upwards, the smartphone has a solid construction and could resemble some time mistreatment. It also has a decidedly no-nonsense, corporate look that suits its audience the power business users. Like its features, the Nokia E90 Communicator's design is quite large. The exterior of the E90 has 2-inch diagonal, 16 million colours at a resolution 320x240 pixels. This is not a touch screen, but the text and images are vivid and accurate. Below the screen, you will find a standard range of two navigation keys, Talk and End buttons, a shortcut to the main menu, a four-way toggle with center select button, and the Alpha dialpad. This is an area where the phone bigger is an advantage, since it allows room for extra large buttons are easy to press. The extra room would make a large alphanumeric dialpad and navigation array. Apart from the controls spacious, there is another advantage for the Nokia E90 congestion. The candy-bar style phone that opens to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard and a 3.6-inch wide screen. The latter has an output of 16 million colours and 800x352 pixel resolution, which gives an impressive view. The large screen also lends itself very well for navigation on Web sites and reading documents and e-mails. Also, support of the screen is another set of buttons and end Talk and two softkeys. Opening the candy-bar style smartphone reveals a 3.6-inch internal display and full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard should not give too many problems as far as users enter with ease and precision. The various buttons are spacious, it is therefore not an issue on which there is not much separation between them. They also have a tactile feel to them, our only complaint would be that they are a bit stiff to the press. In addition, there is a dedicated number row, and just below the screen, you can find shortcuts to various applications, including contacts, messaging, and Web Calendar. On the right spine, there is a button for voice recording and a camera-activation key, while the bottom of the unit has a mini-USB port, a power connector, and a 2.5-millimeter headphone. On the back, you will find the camera of 3.2 megapixel and flash, and a microSD expansion slot. The Nokia E90 comes packed with an AC adapter, a USB cable, a wired headset, a CD of software, and reference material.

Other utilities and collaborative tools include Adobe Reader, a Zip Manager, a calendar, notes, calculator, clock, a voice recorder, and a currency converter.

There are also text messaging and multimedia, and, as E61i Nokia, the smartphone has the text-to-speech reader that will read your messages aloud. The address book is limited only by available memory, even though the SIM card can hold an additional 250 contacts. Each entry has room for several numbers, e-mail address, address of the home and at work, a URL, and so on. For identification of the caller, you can link contact with a photo or a ring. Wireless options on the E90 is plentiful, but it does disappoint in one area: it does not work on the strips of 3G American. Unfortunately, it's only compatible with Europe HSDPA / WCDMA 2100 tape, but not our UMTS / HSDPA bands, so you get stuck with a speed EDGE. This is a real bummer of such power-packed device. That said, there is integrated Wi-Fi (802.11b / g), and you do not need to rely solely on the GPRS / EDGE Web surfing. You can also receive 2.0 for connectivity with Bluetooth wireless headphones stereo or mono, hands-free kits, file transfer and dial-up networking among other things. And if all that goodness wireless was not enough, the E90 is an integrated GPS radio, which, with Nokia Maps preloaded application, allows real-time monitoring, routes, and so on. As a business-centric device, some may be sad to see that the Nokia E90 has a camera, since a number of companies are banning the use of camera phones in the workplace to security reasons. But, for better or for worse, the smartphone is equipped with a camera with 3.2 megapixels flash, autofocus, and video recording capabilities. In photo mode, you can choose between different qualities of images and scenes, and you can change the ISO, contrast and colors to get the best shot. The settings of the user are somewhat more limited in video mode, but you do have two scene modes (auto or night) and five possible video quality. The image quality is subpar. Despite the flash, the pictures came out a little dark with a grayish tone, even if the objects had a good definition. Video clips also considered a somewhat bleak. The E90 is disappointing to the camera, producing some dark and discolored photos. Finally, the smartphone is equipped with a decent music player. It plays back MP3 and AAC files and can sort songs by artist, album, genre or composer. You can also create playlists directly on the device, on all the songs in random mode or repeatedly, and adjust the audio through the built-in equalizer. In addition, there is an FM radio, though you have to use the headset wire as it acts as the FM tuner. For videos, RealPlayer is embedded and is compatible with MPEG-4, MP4, 3GP, RV, RA, AAC, AMR, MIDI and formats. Performance We tested the quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; GPRS / EDGE) Communicator Nokia E90 in San Francisco by using the AT & T service, and the call quality was good. We liked crispy and good volume on our side, and had no problems of interaction with an airline of the voice-response system automatically. Our call also achieved good results. The speaker introduced more than a mixed bag. While our friends were impressed by the clarity, the voice sounds a bit weak and hollow on our end. It was not something that has prevented us from having a conversation, but it is a challenge if you try to talk on the loudspeaker in noisy environments. The good side, we had no problems E90 conjunction with the Logitech Mobile Traveller or the Bluetooth headset Motorola Bluetooth Headset S9. Armed with a 330MHz Texas Instrument OMAP2420 processor, the overall performance was quite quick. We have noticed some differences in the activation of the camera and other multimedia applications, but we have not experienced any system crash during our review period. Of course, the experience of Web browsing-could have used speed increases supported by the 3G, but we were able to get by EDGE. The system also had no problem finding and the Wi-Fi access point our, and the E90 is equipped with an excellent Web browser. Multimedia performance could have been better. Play music through loudspeakers phone is weak and one-dimensional, even if it is improved when you use the headset wired. Meanwhile, video clips and looked pixilated blurred, but it must be adapted to short diversions. The Nokia E90 is designed for 5.8 hours of talk time and up to 14 days of standby time. In our test battery drain, we were able to obtain an impressive 11.5 hours of talk time on a single charge. According to FCC radiation tests, E90 has a digital SAR rating of 0.59 watts per kilogram.
