Up until a few weeks ago, the Nokia E90 was about the most converged phone and professional mobile Internet device that I knew about. Yes the HTC Advantage is good but you can’t use it as a phone in the traditional way. Yes the iPhone is good but it’s a very closed consumer device. Yes the N95 is capable but if you want to enter text, it’s next to useless.
The new competitors on the block are the ASUS M930 and the Toshiba G920
Think of an E90 running Windows Mobile for both of these devices. They combine reasonably powerful CPU’s with better-than-average screen resolutions and the all-important keyboard.
Here’s the Toshiba G920 which has a slightly higher spec.
If you’re looking for an upgrade from an HTC Universal or the ultimate do-it-all device, these two are well worth keeping an eye on although don’t buy anything until the Mobile World Conference is over!
