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.

I don't have any HTC devices except the QTek 9100. However, AFAIK, there is no *stable* SSH client for Windows Mobile. There are 4-5 of them out there, but none working well. More over, there is no good, stable VoIP SIP client for WinMob either. So if you ware interested just in SSH and VoIP, the E90 is a better choice. If you are interested in lots and lots of apps and UI flexibility, then the WinMob is a better choice.

Recently announced HTC Kaiser seems to be much more interesting. Honestly, I am a big fan of Symbian and using Nokia N80 myself, but this time I must confess that Kaiser running Windows Mobile 6 is likely to be much more proffesional solution.
Also regarding SSH and VOiP: Windows Mobile 6 comes with VOiP integrated. Also, there are few more SSH applications for WM, some of them featuring port forwarding which none of the AFIK two available Symbian ssh clients can do.

Eugenia, did you try HTC Advantage? I'm a sysadmin looking for something to replace my current Blackberry, the Advantage seems quite nice with its giant TFT, and feature and price wise it's comparable to the E90 (better for the 8GB HD and worst for the OS
)
