Yeah, I agree with Dogman, mindless postings like that should be deleted right away. Zolo is a bit 'ruth' but right and funny
Now back to the topic.

@zolo and mario your opinions are nonsense to me. well my laptop has every hour updates for antivirus and spyware including software update i set monthly but those are essentials at least. if both of you are really up to the new brick reborn go and have your minds flashed too.

if you were twice as clever as you think you are you would still struggle to be a halfwit. You make an inflammatory statement and when asked politely to explain this opinion of yours can't come up with valid explanation all you can do is call it a brick. Well if it is a brick it is the smartest brick in the world and infinitely smarter than anything SE can produce and very obviously also you. Just stick with your beloved SE and keep reformatting and doing a master resets whilst waiting for the next great firmware to fix all the problems. 6 months down the line and most of the devices are selling at 50% below there launch prices great products that the market has decided are practically worthless.

My Apologies Dogman - sorry for the long reply. Many thanks for NOT taking my post in offense - ppl like you that give a chance that someone made a mistake in wondering if a lashing was to them make this forum a MUST come to everyday about conversation. Thank you again. I have no clue HOW I missed whom you were refering to, but I did in honesty. Thanks for correcting my oversight.
btw, the things in your signature (Nokia Black N93,2gb SanDisk MiniSD & TomTom6), does TomTom6 reside on your MiniSD card, and if so for navigation does it ONLY seek updates via the GPRS/3G network medium or can you restrict it to WiFi connections?! I'm dying to know because here in Canada our provider (2 brand names, 1 owns both for GSM network) doesn't offer unlimited data and its shameful. More concerned because I WANT to play with the GPS ability of the E90 but I wont if I cannot restrict the medium to WiFi.
Thanks guys.

Read review at My-symbian & I like it. A lso still like my P990 but coming from Psion Revo background this is looking good. Can't understand why they insist on leaving touch screen out of the spec.

Hi Prom1,
I really am not the ogre people seem to think i am i only lose it with people who make statements that they are either unwilling or unable to quantify. Everyone is entitled to thier own preferences and opinions but slating something with out grounds really ppp's me off.
I always install Tom Tom on my memory card as with the maps Poi's voices etc it is to much stuff to put in the phones memory IMO, but i do not use any of the update services as really have no need for traffic updates and the latest speed camera databases can be found quite easily on the web for free and are quite quick and easy to remove the old data base and replace it with a new one if needed. Also this way once i have bought my software there are no more running costs involved. Sorry just realised you are talking about running GPS on the E90 it is my understanding that you can not run 3rd party Sat Nav software from the inbuilt GPS and Nokia's solution is free but turn by turn directions will in fact be chargeable and as you will need this whilst on the move it would have to use the phones data connection so will also incur Network Data usage charges. This is why i am not a fan of built in GPS on any device as i have stated before i use a Holox GPS that is now far cheaper than when i originally bought mine, it is really small and has approx 100hrs battery life and can be charged in car if needed with a Motorola V3 charger as has a mini USB port also my preferred Sat Nav of choice is Tom Tom so Nokia's solution is of no interest to me even if was completely free.

IMO and it is just that MO i think the reason is quite simple the quality and visibility of a non touchscreen phone is just so much better. Plus the control you get with the D-pd and cursor is quicker than having to get a stylus out and stab at the screen, I used to have a P900 and then P910 and never thought I could survive without a touchscreen I have only been using S60 since June of last year and my initial concerns where I would really miss the touchscreen. Whilst using S60 I have also had a M600 that I couldn't give away fast enough as I hated it and recently bought and used a TyTN for 6 days that had both a proper qwerty keyboard and touchscreen as I wanted to see how Windows Mobile had developed since I had an Ipaq 3970 it lasted all of 6 days. My priorities have changed and I no longer lust for a touchscreen at all whilst many other don't even consider a smart phone to be one without a touchscreen which is there right to choose . IMO there really are no right or wrong devices only what each user prefers and works best for their needs.
I do however think the E90 is a class leading device and the ultimate business tool even with out a touchscreen.

I read somewhere it is possible to use the built-in gps with 3rd party satnav software. Just need to wait for the 3rd party satnav developer to update the software with ability to read from the in-built gps.

Well according to what i have read by Michal over at my Symbian the limitations of the inbuilt GPS will not work with any 3rd party software. Especially as Nokia are launching there own mapping solution with charges for voice direction i would imagine that is true so if you use the inbuilt GPS it produces a nice revenue stream for them. I mean there not stupid now are they.

I for one would have to disagree on the fact that especially the latest three commies were a two handed tool. For one I have seen allot of my friends in the M.E. use the phones in one hand to chat on msn. With time I myself too developed the one hand technique. Its quite easy to do with a bit of practice and normal length thumb.
Back on track, I am quite sure that the e90 will be a great hit. Probably will have the thing preordered from nokia. But for all the fans and I am quite sure of you are reading this thread too. Will you guys not miss the feel of s80 or the past dedicated, in design, to the Communicator Operating Systems. That to me gave it a more of a magical touch to the phone and kept me from quickly moving on to other mobile gimmicks.
