Crap review
Biased and outdated review,imate supports larger amounts of memory with wm 6.1 and its half the price of what E90 is where i live,and i do agree that your pic taking skills suck or you did it on purpose cos my imate 9502 takes pretty decent pics for a phone not as bad as you are showing,its not a picture phone alright but it handles everything at once.Oh also you dont have to use the internet explorer for web browsing you can purchase or download other software and get more efficiency out of that VGA screen so half the points you marked as a "cons" is BS.

Biased?
Quote:
I own the Ultimate 9502
your review is totally biased !
did you doctor the picture to deliberately make it look that bad ?
or are you just lousy at taking photographs ?
And as for that first picture you put on top of the page !
Well the E90's screen is facing the camera while the 9502 is laying flat with the screen facing upwards.
How much did Nokia pay you to post this crap ?
people are'nt as stupid as you would like them to be.

Biased? The article has more images showing the 9502 than the E90!
The 9502 is huge in comparison to what the E90 offers. Very few phones could rival the E90's wide 800x352 internal screen. Websites don't look nearly as good on VGA resolution, despite having more pixels.
I still miss my extensive and powerful software on my old XDA2 though. Begin a programmer, I found developing for WinMo/PocketPC using the familiar Win32 API was very easy compared to developing on the S60. If the SE Xperia X1 delivers what it promises, then the E90 will finally have a serious competitor (although by then the E90 will be more available and far less expensive).

Unhappy with E90
I bought an E90 some time ago and sent it back. My main problems:
1. The 3G is on a frequency that no US carrier supports, something Nokia did not make clear on their web page; when I phoned them to check I was told that the U.S. version did support 3G in the U.S., which is not true.
2. The word processor is much worse than on my 9300. It can only have one book loaded at a time, and loading a book takes about ten minutes. One of the things I use a phone for is as a portable library/word processor.
The software also felt generally clunky--I don't know if it has improved since.
Is there a good third party word processor that one can use instead of the built in one?

I have both TyTN II and the imate Ultimate 9502. I prefer the imate anytime, which is much better than the TyTN II.

You guys should try checking out the HTC Tytn II. It beats the pants off any current Nokia/i-Mate device.

Hmm, I don't find the camera slow, at least no slower than other camera-phones. The shutter button is crappy though. The pics are really good too, in my opinion. With good lighting conditions, or using the proper settings, you can get really amazing pic quality - for a camera-phone. I've printed out A4 copies of my pics and everyone I show them to are blown away by the quality.

Given exorbitant prepaid GPRS rates, it is impossible to use the phone as a browser

You get a decent fixed rate with many operators around the world for GPRS/EDGE/3G/3.5G.

sending a folder of html files from a Macbook via bluetooth is not quick and easy. The phone says it can not accept files of that type (a folder full of web pages).

I really don't get the problem here... Simply use bluetooth on your Mac to browse the directory on the E90 and drag/drop any file/folder to any directory on the phone. It can't be much simpler than that...

Unfortunately, it's the 6150/8150 that has an XGA output, NOT the 9502. The latter only has a crappy analogue TV output (at VGA resolution). See my review of all of i-mate's new devices at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for more info if interested.

Absolutely agree with the outcome: the 9502 is pretty bad. No wonder I didn't recommend it in my MWC report either...

i've had my e90 for about a month now and absolutely love it!
sure it's a large and heavy device but it's got one of the best internal screens and qwerty keyboards on a mobile. the extra functionality including gps, wifi and a semi-decent camera make it a joy to use. i upgraded from my n95 and have never looked back. the e90 has a solid feel and is built much better than the n95. the e90 is a good device in my opinion and i'd recommend it to all...

but given that the pricing of GPRS is limited to Saudi oil sheiks

This simply depends on place you live in, Here in India, you can get GPRS for a flat fee that can range somewhere from Rs. 400 - Rs. 500 (approx $10 to $12.5). There are many people here who even connect their PC via phone's GPRS for their internet needs.

Slow Camera
E90 plus N810 is still the best I can find but at least the Eee PC can run tabbed browsing with NoScript (NoScript.net).
This is important for Nokia to recognize because NoScript reduces CPU utilization, especially when hundreds of tabs are open.
Why can't Canon stick Wifi and Linux in one of their cameras? The camera on the E90 is excrutiatingly sssllloooowwww.
Given exorbitant prepaid GPRS rates, it is impossible to use the phone as a browser, but sending a folder of html files from a Macbook via bluetooth is not quick and easy. The phone says it can not accept files of that type (a folder full of web pages). Of course there are workarounds, but given that the pricing of GPRS is limited to Saudi oil sheiks, more attention should be paid to allowing Macbook users to send hundreds of tabs over via Bluetooth quickly and easily.
Nokia will introduce Qt to the maemo platform in addition to GTK+. Nokia wants to explore cross-platform possibilities between S60 and maemo because Linux is the operating system of the future.

I can't imagine anyone who is seriously considering an E90 (or anything similar) going with an E51 and an N810. I'm not saying that the combination is bad, but if someone wants a device that can do everything, albeit with some limitations (and you name me one device that has NO limitations), is not going to be satisfied with a simple(-ish) phone and a large(-ish) tablet running an unfamiliar OS.
I moved to an E90 from a P910i, and I couldn't be happier. Yes there are some issues, which hopefully will be fixed by a FW update, but on the whole, I find the E90 to be a fantastic device, and the experience of using it a positive one.
