3GSM Nokia today officially announced the E61i, E65 and E90 Communicator handsets, all aimed primarily at the business user but with some consumer-friendly features too. The launch confirmed images and speculation on features which began to appear on the web about a week ago, as we reported.

Based on the S60 platform, the E90 is a revamped variation on the classic Communicator handset. Considerably thinner than the earlier versions - it's 13.2 x 5.7 x 2.0cm to the original's 14.8 x 5.7 x 2.5cm - this model features integrated GPS and map software, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity plus 3G HSDPA, a 240 x 320 pixels cover display and an 800 x 352 main screen. It has 128MB built-in memory with a MicroSD slot for more, and two cameras: a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera with flash, and a second camera for videoconferencing.
