The E90 is the latest in Nokia's communicators stable. This is the first phone in this segment since the 9500 which was launched years ago. The new Nokia E90 will run the SymbianOS v9.1 with the 3rd generation S60 UI.

The Nokia E90 features all the current connectivity technologies such as quad-band GSM/EDGE/GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, miniUSB, Bluetooth 2.0 and Infrared port. The external 16 million colors display has a QVGA resolution, while the internal wide-screenish display has a resolution of 800x352 pixels capable of displaying 16 mil colors as well.

The E90 measures somewhere between the 9300 and the 9500 communicators and weighs a hefty 210 grams. What comes as a surprise in this Enterprise phone is the slew of multimedia capabilities it possesses. The communicator features a 3.2MP camera (almost equivalent in quality to the N73's) and also has an FM radio, stereo speakers, and a microSD memory card slot.

Another surprise is that both the internal and external displays run on the S60 UI unlike on the 9500 whose external screen is rendered useless by the featureless S40 interface. The phone is powered up by a 1500 mAh battery which is advertised to provide a standby time of 14 days (2 days with moderate use).
 
The Nokia E90 will be available in Q2 2007 and will cost somewhere around €750-800.
