Inside are an 800-by-352 widescreen and a five-row QWERTY keyboard. A quad-band GSM phone, the E90 is a good choice for business travelers, although it supports only the 2,100-MHz band for 3G data speeds overseas. Here in the U.S., we’re stuck with EDGE, but over Wi-Fi, the E90 practically flies.

The E90 is one of the best-sounding cell phones I’ve ever reviewed. I could hear perfectly clearly, and folks on the other end thought I sounded great. You also get robust e-mail, messaging, and multimedia applications, and since the phone runs Symbian Series 60 3rd Edition it will work with thousands of third-party applications. In addition, Nokia bundles Quickoffice, which lets you create, edit, and save Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents— a boon given the E90’s incredibly comfortable input devices.

At an eye-popping $1,099, the E90 certainly isn’t for everyone. It’s larger and, at 7.4 ounces, heavier than just about any other smartphone on the market, but given the device’s extensive capabilities, I don’t mind a bit.
