Good, honest review IMO.
As far as hwkb handsets go, the E7, along with the Motorola Droid 3, present 2 viable options (Australia is pretty limited in the hwkb device area)
After trying Android (HTC Desire), I honestly would prefer to go (back) to symbian, in it's current iteration, having owned and loved a Nokia 5800 previously, however the things about the E7 that concern me (edof camera, limited storage/no microsd/card options) are things that the droid will sort out for me.....

dilemna dilemna (plus i still want the N9)

@OP: thanks for the info
