I just hope that the fact that it is a Symbian Belle device does not count against it in the media, or in Nokia's marketing.

Yes it's a little chunky, but it is a superb bit of hardware and a lot of the features as standard in Symbian currently blow the Lumias out of the water.

My N900 contract is up soon. May see if I can get one of these, or even a very cheap deal on an N8 to accompany the N900. This indicates to me that Symbian will be around for a little while yet.

Wish they'd stuck Harmattan on the thing though
