With the Nokia E90’s release in 2007, the E90 still breathtaking 15 years later in 2022. Just seeing the Wednesday 19 March 2008 date on the taskbar really does elicit emotions from all those years ago. I hope this E99 review stay on TH-cam forever, so younger people would know how mobile were back in the late 2000s. The E90 was announced on 11 February 2007, then had a general retail release in the following June. Indonesia was the advanced retail release country, with the first E90 example being auctioned for an equivalent $5,000 USD. The initial June 2007 launch price has been reported to be $900 USD, £650 GBP and $1,499 AUD.
Crazy thing is I was still using this as a daily driver up until the switch to SHA-2/HTTPS as the global standard for web browsing. If the browser still loaded web pages I'd totally still have it as a second device. Symbian OS is actually really neat.
Looked like it came out of the Matrix, but I can't remember if I actually have ever seen one carrying back then. Most business men had black berries on their belt by the time the E90 came along.
I want a Phone with a horizontal slide out keyboard or clam shell so badly. The last great phone I had was the Nokia N950, a rarity even when released as it was the development platform for the meegOS platform. Which was an absolute shame when Nokia canceled the project going with the horrible Windows 7 mobile instead, sealing Nokia's doom even quicker. I never liked the E91, the 9500 was a much better phone as it was more in line with the Psion 5MX, which still holds my personal record of the greatest handheld device ever made. Today I use a Samsung Tab S2 with keyboard case, it has GSM phone support so it is a smart phone as well as a tablet, unfortunately it's really just to large to be used as a phone.
I've been using Nokia 9500 for years, and it's bulk (14.8 x 5.7 x 2.4 cm). And I used it pretty nice. Nokia E90 is only (13.2 x 5.7 x 2 cm), which is quite comfortable. It's not Gigantic at all...
I was going to buy this model in 2007, but I ended up going for the Nokia N91. I had just watched the movie "Taken" and I was sold. But I wish I had gone with the E90 😯
my brother has it back then. There is 3 ground breaking phones that is original iphone, nokia commmunicator and third one im holding right now which is galaxy z fold
nope. I look inside it and pretty much it's complicated, every cover was soldered to the board. and it's just hard to fix it, and it might need a new prcessor or somewhat kind of thing inside that may cost more than buying a new one. any way I bought a new e90, and it works perfect. I just don't hook it up with my usb to computer. I think that's how I got my first one broke it's LEDs. check my video of how I take all the housing.
@musicismyaddiction32 I only use the front main camera, i cant seem to activate the secondary camera - perhaps its only for conference calling or something. This is not a multimedia camera phone - if your interested in this phone for camera then its not the phone for you.
Is youtube compatible? Do web sites appear like on "mobile" style or like in a pc? Ebay for example? How about avi, mpeg video? Is it possible to watch a movie for instance?
I actually think the e90 phone was and still is leaps ahead of a lot of phones out there including the N97! the processor isn't that much faster on the n97 clock speed wise, the E90 has accelerated graphics much like the old N95, also the E90 has a higher resolution screen 800 x 352 pixels, 4.0 inches compared to 360 x 640 3.5 inches on the N97 and they both have 128mb or ram
have this phone and have had it for almost 5 years now.. only thing thats gone wrong with it is the red eye cover fell off, had to replace the battery, and the front keys dont light up anymore lol. pissed me off cause it came with a crack in the bottom of the phone -.-
my nokia e90 accidently fell out of my pocket and fell on my friends iphone lying on the coffee table and broke the iphone's screen and fucked the iphone. My point is nothing happened to the e90 barely a stratch so its really a robust phone and i say i love it, i wouldnt trade it for anything. Best thing about it is you dont have to worry about looking after it coz its so strong. The best phone on the market without a doubt.
i haved this phone for 4 months. it is very good phone ,but it has few really good games for its internal screen. when you install many application ,phone working slower.its very big:))but i love it.when i go to gym i feel safety,cuz i have some "hard ammunition with me":) but.. i changed few days ago my nokia to motorola milestone(i add 30$ to my nokia) and i can say that android is the future of mobile phones - i can say this after using symbian for the last 4 years. Regards

Meitsi Jou hi this is 2019 I still serch for one
Galaxy Fold back in 2019. We've come a long way.
Watching this on my Z Fold 4, similar form factor, more advanced tech. One of the reason i love my Z Fold 4.

Nokia has to come up with another communicator again :)

2008 was the year I graduated from high school, and at that time I used the Nokia 3220.
Hhha nice
mm, a real physical device, not just a touchscreen thingie with one button.
Your video is history bro
i love the phone and have used 4 altogether in the last 5 years. Looking for another one to buy. Any dealers have any to offer.
