The E90 has been confirmed at the 3GSM conference in Barcelona today and RingNokia have quite a few posts on it already. There’s even a review available by My-Symbian.com who have all the details with good images and specifications. It’s quite an amazing device.
If you’re considering a ultra mobile PC for browsing, multimedia, navigation and basic document editing, this is worth considering. If you want an HTC Athena, you might not after reading the details on this! Here are some of the highlights.

The missing info you’re looking for is price and availability isn’t it. Well RingNokia seem to think it will have an unsubsidised price of 750-800 Euros which isn’t bad. Its subsidised price could be under 350 Euros which, to be honest is going to be very attractive to those considering UMPCs for basic browsing/video use. The only problem could be the high DPI.
Availability – 3rd quarter.
