I bought one off amazon, but it was version one, sent it back, amazon overnighted me a replacement, same thing again...version one and the box was not properly packed for shipping. Sent the second one back, ordered directly over the phone with Nokia ( since online sales of the E90 no longer exist). Got a second day air from the flagship store in Chicago, just opened it up about 20 mins ago, this time it was version two but WITH the keyboard problem. Nokia is obviously still having the same problem they did with version 1. I'm going to return this one too, and just preorder the N900 which comes out in a month...in my eyes the N900 is the next step in the communicator series of phones. To: Ronin, definitly store peak.

I've been contemplating the upgrade to the E90 for the last few months now. Has there been a total recall of the prior "faulty" keyboards, or would it be safe to say that the purchase of any E90, as of March 2009, may still require an in-store peak, making sure the phne purchased had the new keyboard and/or motherboard?

I've been waiting for a better communicator since the wonderful 9290... 9300 & 9500 were just too slow. so far, I've had this phone for 4 days and I'm quite pleased. Someone said this is for a niche market - I think Nokia has DECIDED that it will be for a niche market - if they'd lower the price a bit and turn it out as a phone - they'd make alot more money on it - and people who got a chance to pick it up and look at it would want it. Its a very cool phone. I dont know why they treat it as second class (at least here in the US)... there's an awful lot of gadget geeks here who would love this phone!

The internal screen was perfect. Called Vodafone without much hope they'd do anything, but to my surprise they shipped out a brand new E90 free of charge to replace my original one - This one is absolutely perfect and is also the new model with completely flat keyboard that doesn't touch the screen. Well done Vodafone - They're customer care and service is second to none. :mrgreen: Further update on my new Vodafone Nokia E90: After switching to a dark (black) coloured theme I noticed that the external screen had 6 lazy pixels (i.e. show as white on a black background!)
