A very very interesting comparison of Nokia’s oh so sexy E90 Communicator and an Eee 900 has gone up at All About Symbian.

While most of the conclusions can be predicted just by being familiar with two devices (to summarize the final comparison – Apples vs Oranges), the road that was taken to get there was fascinating and reveals a lot about both devices, and how they fit into a wired world. I especially liked the way that Tsar2 cut to the heart of the value issue:

Price is also bound to be a huge factor if you’re the one paying for the device: the unlocked SIM-free E90 currently costs approximately 800 euros including taxes, while the EEE PC 900 costs about 300 euros including taxes. Despite its faults, the EEE PC 900 is extremely good value and the cheaper 701 model (which has a smaller 7 inch screen) is even better value at about 200 euros including taxes. But the E90 arguably has more raw hardware, as you’re getting a microlaptop, mobile phone, decent camera, ultra-small camcorder and GPS navigator all in one.

All in all, an excellent and informative read.
