Actually it is no where near the size of a PSP or weight as yet my Buggatti case has not arrived so it has been put in my empty front pocket in my jeans and sometimes i have even forgotten it is there.
It really is smaller and sleeker that the previous commies but a V3 it isn't, personally I will take performance and functionality over size every time. But this is not a device aimed at everyone as most don't really need all that it does so why would they choose such a device. But those of us that do want it are prepared to take the extra size that comes with it. It really is not larger than the TyTn IMO and as i was used to a N93 it doesn't feel that much larger or heavier than that was, not everyone wants a tiny phone that does very little freedom of choice is what it is all about and what is good for one person isn't for all. But it really is one incredibly powerful and well built bit of kit IMO and i absolutely love it.

Hi all,
Well this may come as a bit of shock for some of you but there will be no part two of my review. The E90 is now back in it's box and for sale now don't get me wrong there really isn't anything wrong with it. But when it comes to Music Playback it just isn't as good or as loud as the N95 and I'm not saying it is bad just inferior to the N95 and to be honest seeing as it runs the same hardware it shouldn't be.
But Nokia have not used the same Music Player and the volume is definitely not as loud through either the speakers or Headphones plus the fact that if you wish to add Album Art it is a real pain unlike the N95's simplicity and IMO it really shouldn't be this way on a Flagship device it should have the best available. Video playback is obviously better on the internal screen due to it's size but why doesn't it have the Video Centre app although not a must have it is nice and something i use.
When it comes to the strictly Buisness side of things it is by far the best E series to date as has 128mb Ram and the OMAP2420 Chip with a full qwerty and that massive internal screen and a wealth of options for Active standby screen and Plug ins.
But my needs are not that business oriented any longer so for me returning to my E61 for Buisness tasks and the N95 for Multimedia is a better solution. I have enjoyed my 4 days with the E90 and would still highly recommend it to anyone looking for the best Buisness smart phone available. But it is not the ultimate convergence device i thought it was going to be, as although it has the right hardware Nokia has stifled it's Multimedia abilities and IMO for no good reason.

@Dogmann: i totally understand you..
Dont want to make E90 look bad or anything i have had some issues with my E90 as well. When unpluging E90 from USB (safe removing) it sometimes restarts. Also this morning when i woke up the phone was turned off, i surely left it on and with full battery.
There is also some wierd noise when on call. It is very disturbing,.. i am not sure what to do. I have the latetest FW and otherwise love my E90. I just hope there is something wrong with my phone only. Will visit a service on monday..

That's really not it at all i have had no problems at all, it's just last night i decide to compare listening to Music as i do this for about 3 hours a day whilst exercising the dog. Although i had been quite happy with Music playback quality was definitely not a problems with it, i was thinking it was quieter and finding i was having to use more volume was the only real difference.
But using the same Micro SD card so exactly the same Music their really is a noticeable difference IMO, I have just been for a long walk with the dog as thought maybe i was being unfair comparing it in different environments and have to say the difference really is quite significant enough to make me change my mind about my devices.
I do realise that Music playback is not really a criteria for buying a Buisness smart phone but to be honest i expected more due to the OMAP Chip which is why i thought it would meet all my needs in one device. In reality the Music player is the same as any other E series and whilst that is better than average it is not in the same class as a N95. Which produces a stunning result using my Shure headphones plugged straight in and i really am not prepared to lower my experience for the sake of just one device.
To achieve what i am looking for would of meant selling just the E61 and keeping the N95 and E90 which IMO is overkill big time. i think i just have to accept that for business the E series is it and that for Multimedia it's has to be a N series not what i want but the way it is for now anyway. Maybe one day i will actually get my ultimate convergence device but that day has not come yet and it's not due to the hardware either but something that Nokia have obviously consciously decided to do much to my disappointment.

In a way it makes sense that Nokia did this but i think such a feature rich device MUST have some good Multimedia features, i think they could have kept the N95's sound quality in the E90 ATLEAST,when i 1st saw the E90 i saw it as maybe a mix of Communicator and Nseries, i thought it was a phone made with rich multimedia in mind but guess not

@dogmann i do get your point. e90 is traveller biz men imo, its a great device, but e90 turns out really useful when u are usually on the road. very comfy in airplanes, on the train etc but bit useless at the desk at home

I pretty much still prefer seperated for music, I never use my phone for music and so for me this wont be a problem at all.
What might be a problem is size factor as I am sure its not fitting in my jeans, as I have them really tight.
Some call them Ball Breakers who knows hehe. I call them comfortable. We wait and see

The E90 is not something you should really put in your jeans, or any trouser pocket, to be honest.
I cannot stress this enough, jokes aside.
Carry it in your hsnds in a case - its a major investment, and serious machinery. So protect it accordingly
Hardly something to throw in your pockets.
