Nokia E90 wins PDA Essentials Editor's choice

icon

I don't normally shout about my print reviews, but if you're in the UK, this one's worth looking for in the newsagents. Issue 63 of PDA Essentials is out today and has my review of the Nokia E90 Communicator. And it seems that the editor has been playing with an E90 too, slapping his 'Editor's Choice Award' on the review. The review bottom line? "Great to see the line continuing and with such a cutting edge spec, but it's not for everyone". Score: 8/10.
