Review of the Nokia 390 Communicator
By Vipin Agnihotri
No doubt, Nokia E90 communicator is a mind-blowing device but when you hold it, you will get an impression that you have just buy one of those fancy new dumb-bells. In other words, Nokia E90 is heavy for a mobile device. Nokia on their part may argue that they sell E90 and other high-end N series devices as computers.
And that is where, when you think of Nokia E90 as an Ultra Mobile PC, it not that bad. The best part about Nokia E90 communicator is that it can make calls and costs only Rs 40,000.
In my opinion, the long screen of Nokia E90 is tremendous for reading mails and editing documents. Battery life of Nokia E90 is also quite good. It is worth mentioning in this regard that even if you keep your EDGE or Wi-Fi connection open accidentally, the battery does not drain away in minutes.
Talking about limitations of Nokia E90, you can’t send faxes on this one. On the other hand, you have a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus. Point to be noted here is that while typing on the keyboard remains easy, the old navigation key was simpler to use.
Not so long ago, the communicator could do things, which no other device could but at this moment of time every Nokia phone priced more than Rs 10,000 can do virtually everything it can. In general, while the E90 is a terribly good-looking phone, there are other phones in the E-series line that can get the job done equally well.
