Is the Mini USB Slave only.

Or is it abel to act as Master and/Or Slave.

The E90 supports Mini USB, USB 2.0 full-speed in USB slave mode. Full speed means 12 Mbit/s.

... also, the phone supports the USB mass storage standard and will appear on a computer without PC-Sync as a remote hard drive (i.e. like most MP3 players)

(this is what Michal told me, anyway)

Well that is the same as BentL is telling you, btw a mini USB can't be a host due to lack of power out on it.

Of course, it's a very nice review.

but one small question. You have tried the game : system rush ( i think) But, does almost all the game of the Ngage will be able to run on the E90 ?
like on the external screen and on the internal one ..

And there's any feature implement to .. like the pocketpc.. to stretch or: fit to screen, ( to the internal one ) all softs made for a small square screen ?

All the existing N-Gage games are made for S60 1.2 (S60 1st Edition) and none of them run on any S60 3rd Ed./Symbian 9 based device.

What devices any of the future next gen. N-Gage games will be supported on is still unknown (Nokia has not published any such details yet):

Yeah, I read that in the review, but I didn't ask about that key, but the one above TAB and below the lighting key

It's the S60 Multimedia key. You can assign four (or five) frequently used apps to it.

And I do hope that they do upgrade the search functions in Contact. It is an business devise, an I do need the advanced search functions from the old Communicator.

There is a global search function available in the E90. It searches EVERYWHERE, including all Contacts fields:

The most interesting thing new thing is the GPS Nav application Smart2Go. But informatiom regarding this will have too wait Or can you give as any thin based up on the proto. It's the nav turn bay turn that is interesting.

I have to wait for newer firmware. The current one has an old version of smart2go and I cannot download and install the new one because the old one is in ROM and thus it cannot be removed/updated...

You said that you haven't found how to change language

No, I didn't say that I haven't found how to change the language. It's a proto an it only contained the English language.

or to highlight and copy-paste text.

It doesn't seem to be possible on the external screen, at least in the firmware I have.

Ngage is NOT an S60 3rd Edition device. It's the old Series 60 1.2 platform, which is INCOMPATIBLE with all S60 3rd phones, including the E90.

There is no such thing as "software made for small screen". All CORRECTLY written software will adjust itself AUTOMATICALLY to the large screen. Games hardcoded for small resolution will keep their hardcoded resolution, or won't work at all.

Do you have an Exchange account to use with your E90? Local Search 3.02 doesn't find ANYTHING from my "Mail for Exchange" inbox on E61. It's weird as MfE inbox is integrated to Messaging and the add-on is made by Nokia themselves. Everything else works fine including searching from POP/IMAP-boxes...

@Michal

thank you for a very informative review and the very very high quality answers that you have given all members in the last few days in the 3-4 E90 related threads. My-Symbian gets better all the time

[peteding]

Is the zoom feature retained?

[amargandhi]

hi every 1,
fantastic reveiw...
the thing i wanted to know is that where r the 2 speakers located and how is sound quality .

A question is: SanDisk has released 4 GB MicroSD "HC" cards. Is there any possibility for a such card to work in an E90? According to info a N73 can handle 4 GB MiniSD (official limit 2 G, with that in mind the E90 in theory can handle 4 GB.

Even in case of MiniSD the bigger cards is of the HC-type as far as I know. I think Nokia says 2 GB because of the appearance of bigger cards was announced during the same fair. In other phones they handles bigger cards.

4 GB would be nice for internal use in the E90.

Another question:

Is streaming over WLAN to an E90 working well? For example streaming from a computer or the new Dave. It would be perfect to store movies on a Dave and stream them to E90 via WLAN. The samme applies for recorded movies with it´s camera (and this movies is to be stored on a Dave or in a computer according to my plans).

I like the E90, your review and this forum!

Michal.

Any chance you could show us the underneath of the e90 with the batter cover removed, i.e. battery holder, sim card slot, sd memory card slot.
