AFTER A VERY MEMORABLE trip from Ireland to the east coast of the US, I returned with a benchmark on the Nokia E90 as a cameraphone. Following the NYC excursion, I've exceeded 400 snaps with the E90 on Flickr, making it my most-used cameraphone ever and my most valuable piece of personal technology. It bears mentioning that I've sat on the phone twice, dropped it on concrete five times, soaked its external keyboard in fizzy soda and accidentally compressed it in a bag behind a car seat. This piece of technology is as tough (and as big) as a brick. Now it's also approaching the 500-shot mark, making it more a part of my daily life than my laptop. When I first bought the phone, I did not imagine how reliable it would be, how resistant to software crashes it would be and how versatile a workhorse it would prove itself. There's a whole other chapter to be written about the E90 as a video recorder. I'll save that for another post. Bonus Link: Nokia WOM World on Twitter
