Nokia 9290 Finally Available in the US

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the finally-we-get-some-good-stuff dept.

AmyZ writes "The new Nokia 9290 Communicator has finally become available for US residents. Europe has had the 9210 for over a year now. Its a GSM based phone and well as a PDA that uses Symbian as its OS." I still don't quite feel that the PDA/Cellphone combo has come of age, but its nice to see another entry. That machine does looks to be sufficient for basic web tasks.

    Did anyone else read that as the "90210" model phone? I nearly had a wicked high school flashback of epic bad TV show proportions... So long as this phone doesn't just operate in Beverly Hills, everything is cool...

    "the only advantage is carrying around 1 less gadget"

    Heathen! Carrying around 1 less gadget is nirvana. Or maybe it only seems like nirvana when I'm carrying around:

    Cell-phone, organizer, pager, fold-up-keyboard, bad of dice, slide-rule, and Gameboy Advance...
