New in the S60 version is the ability to create and edit the database structure on the device itself (previously only data entry was supported).

Also new is support for floating dates in filters which gives the ability to see records from the last week, last day and so on.

The Nokia E90 alone in terms of form factor and specs for so long, is about to acquire a Windows Mobile-powered rival, the Toshiba Portege G910, according to Unwired View . Mind you, I said the same about the i-Mate Ultimate 7150, and look what happened to that...
