Finally a new E90 version with good built-quality?
Posted by Christian Titze in E-Series, E90, News, Nokia
After all the problems with the Nokia E90 it seems that Nokia solved the problems like the keypad that touches the internal screen. Till now the E90 was Nokias worst-built device ever.
I found this news over at the German Telefon-Treff forums and a user called “NokiaN95-1” brought them to us. He said he received his E90 today from T-Mobile with a “V.2″-sticker on it. Maybe this sticker means Version 2.
As you can see in the pictures now all keys of the keypad are in one level. In the old versions of the E90 the QWERTY keys were higher than the other keys. Thus they touched the screen. It seems that Nokia changed the whole keypad because this is not only a factory-difference by Nokia.

“Till now the E90 was Nokias worst-built device ever.” what a complete load of rubbish, have you actually used an E90, I have for 7 months and it is the best device I have ever used, I totally rely on it and the build quality is excellent, it does pretty much everything that you would carry a laptop for. The very small grease marks you get on the screen easily wipe off and are a lot less hassle than a touch screen device, after a few minutes with an Iphone it is like a smeared windscreen, the E90 is so much more practical than a touchscreen device.

i disagree with the previous reply, I have been using the E90 too for 7 months and i have seen or had access to maybe 20 units and a vast majority of them have one or a combination of the ff problems, w/c to me reinforces the statement that the E90 has poor buld quality not to mention missing attributes over the previous communicators: 1, mic/earphone issue 2, screen touching the keyboard/ permanent marks on the scree 3, uneven feet 4, poor camera/slow camera button response, 5, paint finish gets glossy, 6 plating on front multidirectional button comming off.
HUH???
Ok, so is the v2 of the E90(flush keyboard) better? Was that the only change in the device?
I don’t own an E90 but I’m looking on getting one. I currently have an E61i and love it. I want to wait for the E71 ut that won’t be released for another 6 months or longer.
So should I switch froman E61i to a E90, I guess it’s my qestion.
I have to agree the E90 is the best constructed device I’ve ever own for functionality & features, mine is an APAC version V4.2 & I don’t experience keypad marking screen problem I guess they’ve rectified it.
E90 is one of Nokia best phone. I just buy one and work great
E90 is not a perfect device, but it’s the most efficient phone you can dream of. There are few defaults that you can dislike, but you’ll love all that works. GPS is fine, camera is fine, web browsing is fine, Wifi is fine, inside and outside screens are perfect… Most owners are happy with it. For my part I’m satisfied.

hi everyone!
what comes with the package with the V.1 over the V.2 released of nokia e90?. coz im seeing some package with accessory box on it and the other does not have.
I had been using the E90 for the past 4 months. I bought a second hand unit for much cheaper price in India. I had never experienced any mic or speaker problem and the build quality is exceptional, in fact i dropped it three or four times, not even a scratch on the body. Yes keypads do touch the screen but i had put a screen guard and extended the height of the two rubber beads at the two ends by gluing another rubber bead on top of it, so the keypad now does not touch the screen at all. In short the E90 is glamor, high tech gadget for the tech consciouses.
LOL..E90 is a high tech gadget so much so that someone had to use rubber beads on it to glamorize it. Well..E90 is a huge tech gadget for a whole lot of different reasons. I have now had it for over a month, its a Bourne Ultimatum of mobiles. I have used Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe applications without any glitches, and with admirable speeds. The address book has infinite entries but doesnt seem to run out. The general feel of the keypads,the screen shift speeds, the two 16 M screens (only on E90),the sound quality are all 10/10. Yes, the camera is just 3 M and takes decent pictures. Nokia could have done with speeding the camera start up times.All in all, if you like BIG things in life, E90 is for you!!
great phone!!i have one…
[...] he sometimes makes messages while he’s driving, so touchscreen phones are out of the way. it says here that there is a second version of the E90, but im not sure whether its made for the world wide [...]
I hae ued the E90 since July last year when and have used all previous communicators from the 9110 onwards and I think the E90 is the least desirable of the communicators from both a SW and HW workmanship standpoint. the features were great on paper but thats about it.
What do u mean Jofores??
you guys whineing about the E90 have never experienced the increadibly low quality of sonyericsson smartphones. just switched to the E90 from the P990i and it is *soo stable*, not like wlan on -> crash etc etc like I had with the P990
i bought my e90 2 weeks now. believe me, its the best phone i’ve had since the analog days. i have had phones of different types and makes. if you are saying that the e90 is the worst communicator nokia ever made.. you are fooling yourself or you probably never had one.
My v2 E90 still marks the screen…nokia engeneers are very very distracted
hi,i intend to buy the e90 for my father’s birthday,im now quite confused on whether to buy the e90 or the e71..both of them are great.but my father had used the nokia 9500 before,and it had many problems with the hinges in due time,thus giving problem to the inner and outer screen.does the e90 have a possibility of facing the same problem after some time?
Hey, I don’t know if there are porblems with the hinges after some time, but I think that there’s the possibility that the hinges get lose. If you have wobbly hinges after some time just go to a Nokia Service Center and I think they will fix it.
Hi!mdei! http://zulfgkrf.com cwstj adbym
some of the best nokias ever built ! its metal ,metal ,metal! dropped it a few times on pavement ,spilled water on it… still works ! plus its very good its got good processing power and build quality !
-the only downsides is that it lacks some multimedia features ,and its a huge brick
The Nokia E90 is an excellent phone in terms of its performance and features but to say it has excellent build quality is ridiculous!
I am on my second unit. My first lasted 6 months before the microphone developed a fault. Build quality was terrible. Keyboard touched the screen, the plastic along the bottom of the phone creacked so much it could play a tune! The battery cover rattled. The finish (Mocca) started gettng glossy after a week and the whole unit was shiny like a mirror after a month!
I sold it a few monnths ago and bought a new one this week. It’s the revised version with the lower, flatter keyboard. Still a great phone; still terrible build quality. Why? The plastic at the bottom of the phone still creaks, but not as much as before. The mocca finish is once again turning glossy (after three days use). The keyboard no longer touches the screen and the battery cover no longer rattles but there are two new faults that were not present before. The rubber feet are uneven so the phone rocks when you place it on a flat surface. The part of the hadnset that holds the screen is slightly wonky so when the handset is closed, the rubber stops only touch one side of the casing.
For the price, the build quality is an absolute joke. BUT, the phone really is a joy to use and is the only reason I’m keeping mine.
