Leaked Nokia E90 Successor?
Symbian-Freak is claiming that a user NokiaN95-1 of the Telefon-Treff forum has managed to get photos of the upcoming E90.
I am not sure if this is just a rumour or if there are any real photos of the Communicator's successor and more importantly if there already is a real working version of the new device.
Well, E90 is an almost perfect device. Yes, true it has many problems but those problems are of more technical nature. Most of the problems are associated with factory defects like the mic and speaker problem and keyboard failure. Otherwise, the device is almost fully featured.
What I can wish for the successor is to have even higher resolution of the internal screen. Well, I would not mind a 1024x400 or 1024x600 resolution. Also, making the internal screen touch-sensitive would be great. Finally, throwing in about 8 GB of memory would be nice. And of course eliminating all of the technical and factory defects.
I don't see any point to increase screen resolution as it is good enough already and you can't see smaller pixels any more ;-)
What I'd like to have are:
- USB charging - no need to carry laptop and phone charger any more
- 802.11a (5 GHz WiFi) support - 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g and bluetooth use the same band and using bluetooth handsfree and internet calls over WiFi affect voice quality a lot
- and why not one powerful IR LED - that can be used to replace TV remote :-)
I say throw out the camera, make the phone slimmer, lighter. Also, make the keyboard easier to press. If it is more pocketable, I'll be queuing up for one as soon as it hits the shelves...
As a new future E90 user I only wait one thing: S60 touch in any form! After that it will be a perfect communication device (of course w/o this minor production problems).
Best regards!
