Tethered Modem (6.5)
Like the N95, the E90 can be used as a computer modem either through a USB or Bluetooth connection. The PC Suite can be used to manage this connection. The Nokia N95 can be used as a modem for your PC via USB or Bluetooth.
GPS (8.0)
The E90 has a GPS receiver and some substantial navigational software, which, surprisingly enough, is free to use (downloading the data will require an unlimited data plan, however, or this will bankrupt you). Like the N95's iteration, you can find where you are, plan routes, and find shops or landmarks in your area. For an additional cost you can also get "Turn-by-turn navigation," which walks you through directions. The price for this service is $11.95 for a week, or $132.95 for three years.
PTT (0.0)
The E90 supports Push to Talk, but unfortunately PTT is a carrier-enabled feature. As this is an unlocked phone, you will most likely not be able to use PTT in the U.S.
Radio (5.0)
As with most N-Series devices from Nokia, the E90 includes an FM radio. In order to use the radio you will need to have the headset plugged in to act as an antenna. The radio application on the device allows you to easily set favorites and search through stations. If your local stations support it, you can also get information about the currently playing track via a data connection. Reception was a mixed bag, with a lot of fuzziness at times. It was no worse or better than the Nokia N73.
