The Nokia E90 Communicator is a 2007 model mobile phone. My Symbian reviews the Nokia E90 Communicator and writes, “The external screen’s resolution is QVGA (240×320 pixels, 16 million colors) and the physical dimensions are 30×40 mm. For the first time ever, the external screen is not just a simple “cover UI” supporting a very limited set of telephony-related functions but now it’s fully functional, providing access to all functions and applications of the device. It means that on the external screen you can not only access all your data and run all system applications (e.g. Calendar, Web browser, Messaging) but also all installed 3rd party applications. There are absolutely no restrictions, the external display simply gives you access to EVERYTHING you get on the large screen inside. Switching between the screens couldn’t be simpler: open the lid and the application you worked with on the small screen becomes visible on the large screen, and vice versa. There is also a setting that lets you configure the device to always automatically switch to the Activity (standby) screen when you close the lid so that you can quickly dial a number without having to switch to the Activity screen manually. Switching between screens is almost instantaneous - one second or so. The user interface is fully scalable and all applications and UI elements adjust themselves to different screen sizes and proportions fully automatic and almost imperceptibly. My dreams have just came true! It’s also worth mentioning that the screen is bright and pixels are very small providing high picture quality. Using the “Bulb” key on the internal keyboard you can adjust the brightness of the internal screen (4 levels). The brightness of the external screen can be configured in Settings using a slider (4 levels).”

CNET reviews the Nokia E90 and writes about design, “When there’s no need for the QWERTY keyboard, we can rely on the numeric keypad and a 2-inch QVGA screen on the top face. That, however, comes at a price. The E90 isn’t the smallest or the lightest smart phone, but we feel its size and weight can be justified by those who want a portable computing device. Unlike the Dopod U1000 which is also in the mini computer category, we could still fit the E90 snugly into a pants pocket. ”

Lisa Gade reviews the Nokia E90 Communicator and writes, “Nokia’s last Communicator, it lacked all the bells and whistles of a high end NSeries device: things both fun and practical weren’t there. No camera (we can understand since some companies restrict phone use, but we missed it nonetheless), no WiFi, just OK multimedia features, and by the time it hit the US, an older version of the Symbian OS. In contrast, the E90 has it all: a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus lens and VGA video recording, full GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, good multimedia and the latest versions of the Symbian OS (9.2) and Series 60 3rd edition Feature Pack 1. That’s another big change: Nokia Communicators have always run Series 80, now put to rest since Series 60 has become powerful enough to handle the Communicator line’s features. From a US perspective, the phone is more practical being quad band EDGE rather than 2 triband versions (no having to do research to make sure you get the one that works on all US bands). The E90 gets HSDPA, but sadly for those of us in the US, it supports only the 2100MHz band used in Europe, so we only have EDGE to work with in the US. The phone is available in two colors: mocha and red, and it can sync to both Windows and Mac OS X computers.”

Mobile-Review reviews the Nokia E90 and writes about camera, “We have been brainwashed for a long time that a business-handset, especially in Eseries doesn’t need to have a camera onboard. However the latest trend implies that imaging capabilities should be incorporated in such phones and that’s how come Nokia E90 ended up with a 3,2 Mpix CMOS-matrix. The quality of shots you get is excellent and pretty much in line with Nokia N93i, Nokia N73. In fact, in this aspect the E90 has turned out to be a really competent offering. On the downside the camera has no shutter and thus picks up smudge with ease. I should emphasize that the camera module used here is different from the one we see in the already existing devices, even though it allows acquiring snaps just as good.”
