There is no E-Series with touch (using Symbian s60v5).
Also Maemo is for business and uper-class smartphones.
I am assuming next E-Series will be Maemo based.
Again, maybe the name of the series should change and converge because the noname yet "Maemo-series" actually makes sense to unify.
Nokia makes things harder with these series and names - numbers, because an undecided new customer will say - I'll just go and have an iPhone, because on iPhone I have ALL the applications, ALL the firmware upodates. On E-Series the customer cannot get N-Gage or a good camera or movie editor or picture editor, where on N-Series the customer will not get mail with Exchange, a better Calendar, etc, etc.
Nokia, your business model having different series and many numbered phones was good in the early days when a phone was a phone plus something extra, when a phone was cheap, when some people were changing phones like socks
, but with a smartphone business or series you need UNITY. Nobody will pay $ 700 every year for a new model.
Nokia needs UNITY - one series of devices that has ALL the best applications pre-installed, ONE store and easy to install software, automatic and easy firmware upgrade, free OS upgrade, backward compatibility.
