Just last week we brought you pictures of Nokia’s E90 Communicator.  Now, the company has dished out all of the specs on the device at the 3GSM conference.  The E90 is quad-band GSM, with both WiFi and HSDPA radios built in as well.  The device has a 3.2 megapixel camera, a second camera on front for video calls, and DOES have built-in GPS and Nokia Maps software for your traveling convenience. 

The E90 Communicator is expected to ship sometime in the second quarter of this year for around $1,000.  Because we’re assuming when they say “The unsubsidised retail price of the Nokia E90 Communicator will be around €750-800,” that price is in Euros.

Pictures of the Nokia E90 Communicator have leaked!  The new device is very similar to Nokia’s own 9500 and 9300, as well as LG’s enV in that it has a dual-hinge.  This means that you can open it up when you’re typing on the QWERTY, or you can fold it up like a candybar phone when you want to talk on it.  According to Engadget’s tipster, the E90 packs HSDPA, quad-band GSM, WiFi, an 800 x 352 internal display, 240 x 320 external display, and a 3.2 megapixel camera.  The phone will also allow you to open an application on the external display, and when you open the phone, it will open on the much larger internal display.  Engadget’s expecting an official launch at 3GSM next week, so if it’s a hit, stay tuned and you’ll be hearing more about it.
