A quick update on the Nokia smartphones
by Volker Weber
When I explained the differences between the E61i and the E90, I said there are strength and weaknesses in both products. I am keeping both charged and ready to go. It does not really matter which one I grab when I leave home. Having said that, I always take the E90. It is a pleasure to use. I like to play with it when holding it, opening it for almost all actions into Communicator mode, checking email on the outside display when I only have one free hand.
It is simply wonderful, and I don't mind that it is a heavy device. Maybe it's because heavy objects just feel more expensive and worthy than light ones.
I am currently using "Mail for Exchange" to send and receive mail, and it's working well. Not great, but well. Sometimes it loses the connection to the server and I have not figured out why. As with all things Microsoft, a reboot cures that situation. :-)

Every time you post a picture of it, it reminds me at some deep subconscious level of the HP 95LX.
Which is a good association since those devices were of excellent quality. Some of the earlier Communicators were not, especially the 9500.
I think the blackberry app resists better to potential loss of connection :-)
V,
Thanks for this update...I, for one, really appreciate your 'tell it how it is' style, even if it means that your view changes over time. I felt that your first impressions were that the E90 didn't really deserve the (large) pocket real estate it demands, but now I see that it has grown on you.
Keep up the steady stream of info - your audience awaits....
