The Nokia E90 Communicator, is now available in the US and also packs an impressive
array of features. With a Bluetooth keyboard, it is fast replacing my aging laptop for most
tasks and has become my digital camera of choice. The 800 by 352 inside screen is a
pleasure to use, and the keyboard on this clamshell device sports a full 5 rows of keys. In
any case, I urge anyone who ever travels outside North America to ditch Verizon or any other
non-GSM carrier and join the rest of the world and do so at far lower cost. And while you are
at it, get a device with a proper keyboard.
