Nokia E90 is still the one

Just moments ago I had just finished filling a 6GB microSD card with video content that mostly consists of music videos and three feature length movies. I previously had about 5GB of digital music on the card, but soon grew bored with it all wasting space since I became so dependent on the iPod for music. It is a little after 1 in the morning and I know as well as anyone that I should be in bed right now, but this E90 kept me captivated for the past few minutes with the flawless playback of a movie. I can honestly say that watching a movie on my E90, especially in full screen mode, is comparable to the quality of my MacBook Pro and any TV screen! For a brief moment one can almost forget that they are watching a movie on a widescreen smartphone, and that is simply an amazing feat to pull off in the mobile gadget industry. So many other devices offer features that don't always measure up to their potential and even my beloved E90 can be included due to its lackluster GPS. But in this instance my Communicator has amazed me once again with its capability.

Earlier this evening I had taken some time to explore my N95 which had been left by the wayside with my hopes of it being sold. Although there are some redeeming qualities about this slider device with its sharp Symbian software and 5 megapixel camera, it cannot help but pale in comparison to my E90. Despite its bulkiness it is still my most reliable gadget to this day that basically serves as a tech toy Swiss army knife! At one point I was even swept up in nostalgia and looked into possibly getting a refurbished Nokia 9300 Communicator for $50 with an upgrade credit from AT&T! After thinking things through I eventually decided that would not be a wise move since I would essentially be going backwards just for the sake of bragging rights (I actually called and found out they were no longer in stock, but that's not the point).

Either way, I am still amazed at how much I have been willing to stay devoted to my trusty E90 through all this time. I can admit that it was foolish of me to sell that other red model I used to have, but we all have to learn our lessons someday. All I know is that my current mocca E90 Communicator is all I really need to feel content and sufficient in regards to my smartphone needs...usage with the N810 is icing on the cake! I actually feel sorry for people who are willing to put up with mediocre devices just to maintain a low bill, for there are ways to maximize the potential of one's phone choice by thorough research of features and plans. It may take a little bit more effort for some folks, but Americans need to realize that lightning fast 3G speed shouldn't have to be displayed on the cramped screen of some free upgrade of a low grade flip phone with a paltry feature set.
