Nokia E90 Communicator is a 3G smartphone made by Nokia and the latest model of the Communicator series. It was announced in February 2007 at the 3GSM show in Barcelona.
The first Nokia E90 unit was sold in an auction in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 17, 2007 for Rp. 45,000,000 (5,000 US$). [1] Indonesia being one of the largest market share for Nokia's communicator series is cited as a reason for the unit's first launch location. [2]
E90 starts the fifth generation of Nokia's communicators, and also introduces a new platform to Nokia's communicator line, Series 60 v3. Previous communicators have been based on either GeOS or Series 80. E90 is also the first Nokia communicator to have UMTS/HSDPA connectivity and integrated GPS. It features OSGi and eRCP, Eclipse RCP for embedded systems.
Early user-feedback and reviews highlighted a defect in the microphone of Nokia E90. According to a review on consumer review website MouthShut.com, [3] the Nokia E90 was recalled from dealers as a result of the problem. This resulted in delivery delays worldwide. Nokia initially denied the existence of the defect, but it was later acknowledged by Nokia Europe, and addressed in the Q3 earnings report released on October, 18, 2007, [4] claiming the issue has now been fully resolved. Early phones sold in Belgium offered a choice of English, Nederlands or Romanian but not French language.
Firmware version 7.40.1.2, released in late October 2007, added support for A-GPS, intended to enhance GPS performance in poor signal conditions, such as in city streets overshadowed by buildings. This version also upgraded the Maps application. As of May 2008, the most recent firmware version is 210.34.75, and the newest Maps version 2.0.
