Keeping you Connected
The E90 is a brilliant 3G-enabled GSM Quad-band phone that could give most PDAs a run for their money. First off, the E90 runs on a Symbian V9.2 S60 3rd edition UI (user interface). It also supports Java MIDP 2.0 and has a 330 MHz ARM processor. It's so well equipped for connectivity it’s fantastic. Allow me to elaborate – The E90 is equipped with EDGE and can also handle Wi-Fi. That's not even half of the E90's connectivity features. Just to make sure this phone really makes par with the on-the-go businessperson, connectivity is enhanced with HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSCSD (High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data), so downloading your attachments and other information is a cinch with the speed you'll get. The web browser also supports JavaScript 1.3 and 1.5 and Flash Lite 2.0. And just one more thing, it also supports Push-Mail.
Wait. I'm not done yet. The E90 is also more than capable of handling any other type of 'local' connectivity, to your PC, laptop or any other phone perhaps. How? With Bluetooth v2.0 compatible with A2DP no less, Infrared, and USB as well, I'm not sure if there’s anything else really. Maybe one more thing though - it has integrated GPS.
But the big question is, how well does it perform with these features? The answer is – Without a hitch. With Software like 'Settings Wizard' to guide you through the process, you can’t go wrong. Of course you’ll still need to contact your service provider for a few settings in case you’re not sure. But how hard is that. So once you have your settings in order, there’s nothing else to do but get connected. Surfing is easy, and I quite liked using the large display and QWERTY keypad.
The browser isn't exactly. If you've seen that of the N95 or any other 'N' series, this will be easy to use. Unfortunately Nokia has not yet figured out a way to allow the browser to open multiple pages. However it does open links in new pages. When scrolling across the screen you'll notice there's a small preview that appears at the corner, which I’m not sure serves any purpose other than give you a microsecond glimpse of the page's layout. There is a separate setting which you'll have to manually use to check a page preview and jump to any specific portion.
