@intelegent115,
My mistake. You are correct. It does not resize properly.

Good question Boba. The additional question would be, what do you want or expect from the E90. For a person getting this as their first Communicator, it will surely be ground breaking and unlike any phone that they were used to. However to those that have used Communicators or even S60 for a while, the E90 may not knock your socks off. For me, who has owned both, the E90 feels more stable and faster (a bit) than the N95. I am not a big music player fan so I do not miss it even though I can understand where Dogmann is coming from.
All in all the E90 is like they say, "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" (minus the blue). The E90 is a departure from the S80 world (old) and jumps into the S60 world (new for the Communicator). It borrows (somethig borrowed) some features from the older Communicators, and leaves out others (making some users blue). Unlike the N95, the E90 will have not as many things that need "fixing" and should turn out to be a top notch phone/system.
Just my $.02

played a bit finally with e90. i love the big and bright screen, it should be a must for every n and e series. keypad is also comfy, but its areally a device for communicator freaks. os didnt offered me any wow effect ( at least i didnt find any really new advantage next to other and older symbians )

Hi all,
I really do have to stress that i still rate and believe the E90 is a truly awesome device, it really is not as big or large as many seem to feel either. The additional info displayed on the internal screen for many apps also offers a great improvement over my previous E series devices and Web browsing without the need to side scroll is also excellent it does everything i imagined it would with ease.
It is only the Music playback that was deal breaker for me and whilst i appreciate that really isn't how a Buisness smart phone should be chosen it meant i would of needed another device for Music and that would of defeated the objective i had of only having once device. It has been sitting boxed up since my decision and i still look at and am tempted if i hadn't been spoilt by the N95's superb Music playback i seriously doubt i would be selling it.

Hi Boba,
Two reasons really firstly it means i am back to two devices and secondly if using a stand alone Music player i would miss incoming phone calls for an hour plus at a time which would not be a good thing really also i only really use it when walking Otis and even now in the car as Otis has a problem with Motorbikes that seriously hurts my ears.
Forget to mention for you lucky E90 users i actually found although i hadn't got round to installing it yet a new app that due to the fact you have so much Ram you may find useful.
It is called PowerBoot and will load the apps you choose at boot up more details can be found at this link
http://www.wireless-labs.com/powerboot/
I am very interested to know just how well this works as it does sound really useful and would i imagine increase even further the speed of opening apps for the first time after boot of your device.

Marc, how about connectiong an amp like the ones available for ipods etc, to the E90 and with your shure headphones you will be rocking. I know this is a little big but there are smaller, check it out.

@marc that app sounds interesting, do noticed, that the fone is "slow" when it comes to open and close app, but its faster then 9500, 9300 when powering up

@Marc, my man Boba and Marques,
Check this out: http://www.gear4blueye.com/uk/index.php .
I have one and it is pretty good. Works well with my iPod and I use it now with my E90. Never miss a call. I even use it when I go running. I put my E90 in my snazzy Northface running backpack and I am off.
Sorry guys. Corrected the link.
