My point is that it is therefore very well possible the E7 will slow down over time, while the N900 seems to have handled a full storage quite well.

I have meanwhile looked at the E7 briefly in the shop, and while it is certainly a very nice device, it didn't feel quite so responsive as my N900, even if it is more smooth once it starts moving.
True, once the N900 starts swapping, the fun is over...(I heard KP48 has some kind of memory-compression, I think I will go and try that now
