It’s hard to believe but it’s been 10 years since the first Nokia Communicator was announced in 1997. The E90 is the eleventh Communicator model, following the 9000, 9000i, 9110, 9110i, 9210, 9210i, 9290, 9500, 9300 and 9300i. The word “communicator” was made up by Nokia and identified a whole family or devices armed with QWERTY-keyboard. That didn’t hamper other manufacturers in their attempts to position their solutions after this device and name their products in a resembling way.
For its potential target audience, Nokia E90 is a very balanced and reasonably priced solution. It has no counterparts that have made it to the market, therefrom follows its low price flexibility and most improbable price shifts (if only the enterprise audience really doesn’t like it).

Electronics Giant Sony has come up with flexible Organic Light Emitting Display(OLED)
The 80-micrometer-thick full color OLED display can be rolled-up around a cylinder with a radius of 4mm. The screen consists of an ultra-thin flexible material covered in organic semiconductors, potentially pointing to a future of flexible mobile devices, television, electronic newspapers and magazines. “Even after 1,000 cycles of repeatedly rolling-up and stretching the display, there was no clear degradation in the display’s ability to reproduce moving images”. Japan’s department of New Energy and Industrial Technologies (Nedo) is also leading a research programme in a bid to create a manufacturing chain for the displays similar to the way newspapers are printed.

Apple iPhone 3G S 16GB
The iPhone is the undisputed king of smartphones, with tens of millions sold worldwide. This year's model is dubbed S because it's more speedy - and it also has an improved camera and video recording. But the real magic of the iPhone is itssoftware - with 65,000 apps available, there's something for everyone. £440.40 or free with 2-year contract, £44.05 a month on O2. Verdict: Still the best smartphone - and the best app store, too.
Nokia N97
This chunky handset benefits from a slide-out keypad and Nokia's familiar Symbiansoftware, but its touchscreen requires firm presses to make it work - making it feel sluggish next to the Hero and iPhone. An excellent 5MP camera is some compensation, but the Ovi app store has been dogged by technical problems. The N97 costs from £500 or free with 18-month contract, £45 a month on Vodafone. Verdict: A powerful workhorse, but it's no iPhone killer.
Palm Pre
Unveiled to much excitement in January, the tiny Pre has taken almost a year to arrive in UK shops. It's pretty as a polished pebble, and boasts a gesture-sensitive touchscreen and a tiny slide-out keypad offering quick texting for the slim-fingered. But it feels lightweight and plasticky, takes too long to switch on and its app store isn't yet fully operational in the UK. Free with 2-year contract, £34.26 a month on O2. Verdict: A dinky, tactile smartphone in desperate need of decent apps.
HTC Hero
The most fully formed iPhone rival, HTC's Hero is a joy to use, with a very responsive touchscreen and a decent virtual keyboard. Navigation is slightly confusing, but the Hero runs Google's Android operating system, which has thousands of apps available. Costs £400 or free with 18-month contract, from £35 a month on Orange. Verdict: The first real alternative to the iPhone.
BlackBerry Bold
While others have rushed to emulate the iPhone's media-friendly touchscreen, BlackBerry has remained content with making portable email addictively easy. Decent apps are thin on the ground, though. £400 or free with 18-month contract, £40 a month on Orange. Verdict: The best messager, but not the best app platform.
Toshiba TG01 Windows Phone
One of the first smartphones to run Windows new, simpler software. The huge 4in screen is ideal for watching movies on the go, but, like the N97, above, the touchscreen requires too much pressure for comfort. £450 or free with 2-year contract, £40 a month from Orange. Verdict: Great for multimedia, but apps selection is poor.
