Nokia E90 Farewell

These recent times are really starting to bring out the most interesting developments in my dealings with smartphones. After deciding to return the HTC Touch Pro in my need to return to the qwerty bar form factor, there seems to be a bona-fide conclusion that all other designs are no longer useful to me, especially without US 3G. This of course proves to be detrimental to my units that fall into this category including the Nokia E90 Communicator. Yes, this ultimate clamshell device has basically fallen short of my interest ever since the E71-2 arrived on the scene with its US 3G support and compact body design. After almost a solid month and a half of inactivity from my neglecting it, it is certainly obvious that this mighty gladiator of a phone has been cast out into the shadows. Upon offering the E90 up for sale I am happy to announce that there has been a prompt response from a good friend of mine looking to make a deal.

While going through the motions of rebooting this Nokia back to factory settings, there is a sense of contentment in knowing that someone else may enjoy it just as much as I did. As much as I would like to hold on to it for nostalgic reasons, it is best that I earn money from its sale to continue work on lowering my debt. The Communicator has been a most gratifying and impressive unit to work with, but it just doesn't fit into my life as flawlessly as the E71-2. Another issue is that the lack of US 3G also added on top of the nuisance of a bulky form factor that sometimes turned me off at times when I was on the go.

In lieu of these facts it is time for me to let go of the Nokia E90 and give it to someone who can make use out of it. Besides, anything that can help payoff my personal debts is a huge benefit in my book.
