Web pages are loaded in mobile devices mode and kind of slow, but is still acceptable. On the other hand you do not need to worry about accidental display touches moving your cursor away and starting some gesture feature. browsing is surprisingly usable without it but not that fluent as one may be used to on modern devices. E90 is missing a touch screen, I do not understand that, but e.g. E90 is fine in that you get used to it quickly.ĭisplay could be bigger, resolution is ok for most of the work, ssh and pine are very good with putty for symbian. There are many phone keyboards out there, so what matters most at the end is how fast you can get used to it. I've got a device with my mother tongue letters, which is advantage as I do not know how I would write them on english one. It is hard to write on it for a long time, you can only thumbtype, 10finger typing I consider impossibe. Keyboard is hard to press, missing keys or symbols (special key Chr hides them), keys are nice in design but hard to distinguish by finger, eventhou not completely flat. How goes the typing on hw keyboard? It is not bad, but superior neither.

The menu design and setups are weird to me, it has maybe some Finish logic or somethig but to find some things like deleting wlan is not easy, up to now I did not found how to do some things easy in normal operating system (keyboard layout anywhere to switch?). I'd rather have a typo than a "correct" word completely out of context. Typo fixing is today substituted by text recognition etc. Still the hw keyboard makes a difference, especially when correcting mistakes - the hw cursor is a must. Microsoft was especially precise in removing all downloads and redirected them to new products you are not interested in.Īlso the amount of usable packages is decreasing as most people leave this platform.

This really is a pain to install anythig, as thre is no easy way to find the valid time frame of the certificate. If you want to install such a package, then you have to change device time to timeframe the cerificate is valid, otherwise it refuses to install either as "Certificate is not valid yet" or "Certificate expired".
You can enable installation of packages without signature, but as soon as package is signed it has to be valid - and it is valid only for a certain time. this is one of the reasons led to Symbian death - there are various series, revisions, for each you need a different package.Ģ. Nokia stores with apps vanished, what you find on the net is old and is trouble to install for two reasonsġ. And it's running Symbian, that may be a kind of supported. It has most of the function that may be needed today like wifi, umts, bluetooth, gps. Now is it worth it? Most of those devices I saw were heavilly weared out. Second reason is I do not like the Android much with all its googleness.įor that reason I picked up old E90 in a bazar for few "bucks". Androids with a hw keyboard are nowhere to be found in Europe, just old or second hand US devices.

Jornada has a great keyboard, it could be one row narrower (something like the greatest psion mx5) it is a full featured keyboard, vaio is definitelly too wide for fast type in hands (both could be 10 finger typed thou). You may think of why not to use a newer Android device? First I definitely prefere hardware keyboard as I type without looking on the screen, sometimes even a keyboard just mechanically. however it boots too long (10-20s is too much for a quick look or writing notes), suspend is unusable as is sucks battery too fast, its battery is starting to be main problem as it does not last an hour, always when I need it, its empty. Few years ago I bought Sony Vaio P - this device is perfect for fast work in the field, in places where there is not too much space etc. Why? My Jornada is starting to have serious problems with the display, it does not have a suitable web browser, WinCE could not use wireless - main problem is missing encryption, its operation system is in ROM and can not be fixed, it has no support for utf8, have troubles typing accented letters (while still can switch keyboard layouts - this is great), booting a familiar linux is painfull and gui buggy and slow (console is fine, but that's it), audio becomes noisy. What could be the motivation to use such a device? I am stil looking for a device to replace my aging HP Jornada 720. Could this device serve its purpose in 2014? Well this article is written in Dedit on it. Nokia E90 is one of the last Nokia devices from the family of communicators with the Symbian OS produced in 2007.
