at e90 the one of the most important point is the form factor, cos its really not a small fone. imo it depends on your needs, for what u would use it. if u like the qwerty keypad, u can also give a try for e61i

Hi John,
The speaker issues and the keyboard touching the screen where only problems on the initial release which is why Nokia stopped selling them until they resolved these problems.
I don't know how bad the Voda branding is but if it is anything like the N95 8GB it appears to be very little until it's unbranded and then you notice a huge difference. It is very easy to change the product code and flash it with Generic firmware. This will invalidate the Voda warranty but not the Nokia warranty is my understanding although the Voda ones seem to have a horrible VodaFone badge just above the front keypad on the latest versions i have seen.
I have had my current E90 for about 7 weeks now and have not had any problems at all, it really is rock solid stable and even running Seven all ways on push E-Mail over WiFi 20 hours a day the battery lasts with just an overnight charge. It can run Blackberry connect and they only missing function is you can't respond to PIN Messages although you can receive them.
But it is an either love it or hate type of device i love it and don't find it as large or heavy as some are happy to suggest, the large internal screen and full qwerty keyboard can't be beaten IMO if that's what you need and are looking for. Web browsing is a joy with no side scrolling required and properly encoded films or TV shows in full wide screen are of excellent quality.
Only really you can decide if it is the right devcie for you or not a lot really depends on what you want it to be able to do for you.

My E65 has never had an issue with it's cable, I've had it switch off once since July 2007, and it has not done it since the firmware upgrade.

Dogmann, thanks for the detailed reply - you've pretty much provided exactly what I was looking for, confidence the device does what it says on the tin. I did consider the E61 but I don't like the form factor, the E70 was tempting but couldn't find one for a reasonable price and I would have preferred a larger screen. I really liked the keyboard and general form factor of the HTC Wizard and Hermes (XDA Mini S and Vodafone VPA III) but didn't like the hardware, I think Windows mobile needs a grounds up rewrite as the market has changed from PDA only devices to pretty much combined PDA/phones.
Anyway, placed my order for the E90 earlier this afternoon and reading your post I think I've made the right decision. Amusingly at work the other week someone was commenting on the fact that I only had 'large' devices, 17 inch laptop, Olympus E-3 and a Nokia N93...the E90 will fit right in.
John

Well congratulations and i hope it serves you well if you need any assistance feel free to ask there is a how to debrand guide in this section of the forum and if you need a UK product code just ask and i will dig it up for you if you decide to debrand.
I actually still miss my N93 and the E90 feels smaller than that as well it's definitely thinner although maybe a little longer.
