i got the firmware upgrade from
Nokia - Software update availability - Phone software update - Download software - Get support and software

the GPS works a little quicker (time to acquire a fix) in the the latest firmware.

Hmm... thanx Netarchie...

I also updated my firmware to V 07.24.0.3

I got the same firmware from Nokia itself.

A very trivial question to those who already have the e90. Does speakerphone get activated when you switch to communicator mode during a call

Yes it does, just like in the 9500.

I have decided to go for E61i as that suits me more ( pocket wise ), Anyone using E61i pls feel free to give me any comments ( good or bad !! ). Also how would it be if I use blackberry on E61i ? Is it worth it ??

babhishek · 23rd July 2007, 11:37

yes, its good.
blackberry on the E61i is awesome as well.
A good phone. If you are into music get the pop port to stereo (3.5mm) adapter and a better card tf 1/2gb.

cooldude1988765 · 24th July 2007, 00:00

is the 4gb micro sd card available yet ???
and is there really no difference in the speed of the phone with a 2gb card ??

Hi
I am using E61i for the last one week.Its a very nice business phone.The battery lasts for 2days on a single charge.Camera is OK ,no flash is there so taking pictures in low light is a problem.Earlier I was using E61 and compared to that this seems a bit slow,maybe because this has less internal memory.But this seems well built than E61.I do not use blackberry so cant comment on that.
Cheers

Just got my E90

Now posting from it. In one word, AWESOME!

Got it for a very nice price, and got a 2GB sandisk card for free

I bought the red one. I'd gone to the shop intending to buy the black one, but I really liked the red one when I saw it. It looks a lot better that the pictures on the 'net. I felt the black one looked soulless.

Blew all of my HU upgrade money on this baby. Will post pics in a short while. I only have the crappy cam in my XDA IIi right now.

Next project is making maximum use of the 16:9 screen for watching a movie in the native widescreen ratio. Will post progress in a couple of days.

I have been using a Nokia E61i with BBC for about 3 months now. The battery is great (Minimum 2 days) and the qwerty keyboard takes a little time to get used to it as the keys are quite small. I am a big fan of the communicator series and have had the whole series starting from the 9000. I bought the E61i as the E90 had not been launched then. However, I don't regret the buy at all.
Get a 2GB card and a BBC and you cannot go wrong.
All in all a great phone.

Congrats Anup,

Wifi feature is working fine.
As far as i know it supports opera but opera is not available for e90 right now.
Orkut can be opened.
