Nokia E90 Communicator: The Last Great Nokia Communicator — Complete Guide

The Nokia E90 Communicator is the end of an era. Launched in 2007, it was the last of Nokia's legendary Communicator series — the one that began in 1996 with the 9000 and defined what a phone for professionals could be. With the E90, Nokia reached the absolute peak of this tradition.

The history of the Nokia E90

The E90 arrived at a crucial time: the iPhone had just been announced, and the market was about to change forever. Nokia responded with its most powerful model ever produced in the Communicator line — a complete smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard, 3G, GPS, WiFi, and a 3.2-megapixel camera.

It didn't know it was the last of its kind.
