I am lucky, I have test the Nokia E90

This week with the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona have been really interesting.
I hope I next year will be able to join this event.

But lucky me, I have actually this week been able to test two new Nokia phones (here in Stockholm): the Nokia E61i and the Nokia E90.
They are really great phones, especially the Nokia E90 phone with integrated GPS and also a radio!
I can't wait till I own a Nokia E90 phone, for more information read the My-Symbian review

Nokia also released a new a version of Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite, Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite 8.0, read more about it here. I have now also got the software and will test it later.

my favorite apps for my Nokia E61 phone

I haven't really understand how many great applications you are able to download and install on a Nokia E61 phone (many times they are also for free). I have wifi at home, this is really great (Nokia E61 support wifi), because of that I use my phone more often than before (I don't have to start up my pc - I use my phone instead)

I have install these applications on my Nokia E61 phone:
- gmail, read more here.
I think it is the best JavaME application ever!
I forward all my E-mail to my gmail account and because of that I am able to read all my old Email from the phone, It is really great application!
- Nokia Mobile search
Free Nokia application, search from the phone
- Search (a local search application), download from here.
This is really great, I now able to search locally data stored in my phone
- Adobe Reader
- Opera mini
- Google Maps
- Screenshot for Symbian OS (S60)
sometimes you need to take a screenshot, this application help you

update3:
S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 focus on providing support for the subset of the Mobile Service Architecture (JSR-248). It look to me "S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2" target low end devices. We have to wait and see when Nokia release support for the full MSA stack that target high end devices.
