PureMobile sent us in for a review one of Nokia's newest and most powerful handsets: the E90. The E90 is a Communicator-class device and very popular among businessmen, but also among system administrators too (one of our friends, sysadmin at Google, is using Nokia's qwerty/wifi devices specifically for SSH access). Read on for our review of the impressive E90.

How does this compare to the E70, which also has a nice keyboard and SSH features?

I won't buy either - they don't work with Verizon - but if the E90 looks neat but is too pricey, the E70 might be a nicer alternative for some.

The E70 is not quad-band, so if you travel a lot, it's not a great solution. More over, the E70 runs an older version of the OS, and it's not supported via firmware upgrade anymore (it only had 2 firmware upgrades, its life was short). Changing from landscape to portrait was taking up to 3 seconds, while it's instantaneous between the two screens on the E90.

I have the Nokia e70. While I love the phone, I often get problems with the RAM. I hit the "Memory Full" message all the time for a lot of sites. Does the e90 have better RAM memory?
