With high-speed connectivity all around, the Nokia E90 took the top spot today in the Nokia E-series lineup. The E90 features HSDPA support for 3G networking on the go, though its use of the 2100 band for WCDMA probably indicates just where the phone won't be going. The phone uses 802.11g for high-speed Wi-Fi, as well as Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 for high-speed data transfers.
The device also features GPS, working with Nokia Maps for navigation. An FM radio, along with an included music and video application will handle multimedia tasks. Around back, a 3.2-megapixel camera snaps pictures and stores them on microSD cards, while a front-facing video-conferencing camera, another clue that the phone won't make it to the U.S., will handle video chatting.
The phone's design is similar to LG's enV clamshell, in that it opens on a vertical axis instead of the horizontal, to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. The device runs the Symbian S60 OS, and features two screens. The external screen is an impressive QVGA resolution, while the internal is a wider 800 by 352 pixel screen; both are capable of 16 million colors.
The phone also features a slew of calling options, including push to talk, voice commands, Internet Call release for VOIP calls, as well as Bluetooth and a speakerphone. Nokia says that the E90 will begin shipping during the second quarter of 2007, with volume shipments coming in the third quarter.
