Sold as communicator. Do i get money back if it's not?
"You are comparing it to previous models"
What other communicator can you compare? I compared also to very basic S60 device, and with that, result was similar / same
A couple of simple questions:
1. Were you forced to buy the E90?
2. Did someone oppress you until you purchased the phone?
3. Were you tricked in writing directly from Nokia into purchasing the E90?
I think the word you are looking for is....uhhh... no.

1. Yes, communicator was promised and i was happy for spec. Must have business tool was promised by Nokia
2. No
3. Yes, see section 1
So it's not no, you guessed wrong
Nokia does play me for a fool, and i don't like that 
It should be sold as basic device for yuppies
Yeah.
If E90 would be first communicator, it would be great! If updating from S60, it would be Ok.
3rd party sw still has proplems in integration and PDA usability. Very fju sw is designed to be used from PDA in E90. E90 is only S60 device having big screen and qwerty (qwerty has for some, but not in way E90 has).
And sw in device is also example from communicator sw to 3rd party developers. And examples are not very good at the moment have to say
+ most important sw as out of the box are messaging and tel and contacts and browser and log (etc). No improvements in S60 for years? Why not i wonder. Communicators has shown those could be better
So if I prefer to use 3rd party and S60, why not select basic device for cheaper price? Then 3rd party sw is actually designed for keypad and screen = better usability even not having all keys and big screen?
I have to just say, that I keep E70 better device then E90. In E70, you don't expect good usability of qwerty. Or shortcuts or fancy multitasking. You know all ain't fluent so you'll manage Ok. I just haven't seen application, that would use screen in E90 like should (example like file manager in 9500, messaging in 9500, contacts in 9500).
If i had 7650, I could see phonebook in that vs E90. Or calculator or contacts or messaging. 7650 was released in 2002 about. Most important applications in mobile, no usability improvements in 5 years on UI

If you select a task just to get details ... BOUM !

This is because people in development don't have money for E90. If you want best, use what developers are using
Only Nokia developers can have E90, because they get one from Nokia. That's why only sw really is good, is sw in device when you buy it You can't make perfect sw just using emulator and brief test after porting

turo,
you make me cry... but you are RIGHT !
What can we do now ???
Why does Nokia not want to help us, reply us ???
Why do we need to pay so much to get so less ?
Domdom
When you say "Why does Nokia not reply?", have you asked?
These discussion boards may at any time be monitored by various Nokia personnel, but you cannot be sure that the right person/people will see your post. These boards form a user-user support mechanism. If you wish a direct response from Nokia on any issue, you need to address it to the HQ of Nokia in your country (not Nokia Care lines, as they are only a support tool for the use of the phones, they are not the R&D guys and they are not involved in the development of the products).
These E90 threads seem to be becoming angry again, could everybody on all sides of the E90 debate please maintain their decorum?
Thank you.

In the article I posted, the guy stated that you could do many of the same things you could do with the 9xxx series but you do them differently on the E90. This is somewhat true.
True from most parts.
You can do almost all with E90, but same with any S60 with 500 euros less price. It is just the way you have to do it.
Example, you have list of 100 items. In 9500 you just press letter you want to jump in. In E90, you scroll and scroll. There is some difference in usability? Do you think?
One thing, you can't link documents and applications and bookmarks to desk. But yes, these are not really needed. I can find document fluently using office?
Why you make these arguments, because then I had to repeat myself

Previous communicators were lacking speed, so they had to compensate through very good software. E90 is much much faster, so it seems usability came second. I think that the overall working speed is the same on E90 and 9300i. What you gain on E90 by having a fast processor is lost by the number of keys you have to press for any simple task, and so on.
Yes, don't know is usability or speed easier to add.
But most simple action to reply SMS. Very very often used by any mobile users. Sometimes I need to see message I reply. If there are example couple questions in SMS. With communicator this was easy, when there were multitasking in messaging. E90 I just need to close and open messages, sometimes several times.
Other case if you write SMS and at same receive SMS. You briefly want to look received SMS before continue writing SMS (or mail or other messages). With E90, you have to actually close message editor and just then new message can be viewed. This is just veery very dum? I don't like to leave unfinished business because I want to check some other thing
I have repeated this. But it has been in S60 for years? Does anyone miss the fact that messages could be swapped fluently. It is simple thing. Just something you can't do way it should be (leave unfinished doc open while check other thing).
Does anyone know is this possible in WM? As this alone would get me to change device.

Clearly, with such a screen this should not be a problem to have it spliited in 2 partts :
- Original SMS : text, author, date and time
- New : text
Too esay to gues maybe !
Domdom
That would be too great to be true
Even fluent swap between messages would do. And again that other issue, if receiving SMS while writing. Thing at least would like to check, that received SMS is not from person i'm writing. Currently with E90, I actually need to save draft, accept 'do you want to save this', scroll to inbox and again back to drafts and open draft started. Even speed is Ok, these actions needed are a bit annoying.With 9500, you just hit messaging and all open messages + main view scrolled through. Like with calendar different views scrolld through.
But yes. There are solutions could be done. Just amazed why nothing done in S60 in 5 years. Maybe paople are just blind to S60 usability, don't know things could be better. S40 I understand, it's not planned for multitasking at all. S60 is (as there is task list, has been for years)
What about the font size ?
You dial a number, digits are big
You receive a call ... digits are very small...
Logic ? For sure it should have a logic but I was not yes able to find is !
You call a phone central where you have to press keys for options.
Everything is fine until you decide to adapt the volume !
First, you have to click on the small "C" key to delete all the choices you made.
This implies you to not hear your correspondant anymore..
Simply incredible, and prove of a very very short test period, tests done by people not using the E90 as simple mobile for calling and using SMS !
Is the E90 not a "intellignent phone", thus a phone with added functinalities ?
