Guys,
I am very surprised. I had an E90, then an apple, X1 and always reverted back to the E90. As much as the size and weight would frustrate me at times. The shear functionality of the large screen, great keyboard and software made it an extra, extra portable laptop in my pocket. When looked at that way, which pretty much it was, the thing was gold!
Now in a different role and not so work demanding on my phone I thought I would get something smaller and a little nicer in the pocket and more a media player etc. I simply was so use to the screen and large keyboard and couldn't let it go, I like other said was spoilt!
Now don't get me wrong, I love this phone, I really do but find it still not a real comparison or a step up on the E90. Considering we are talking +3yrs tech advancement. The shear smaller screen and dicky keyboard kill it alone. The real lack of office related apps kill it, I know, i know, we have leaf pad, gnumeric spreed sheet, I still don't find them as user friendly/ fast to use as the office packages and still lacking on the power point.
As much as I love the touch factor, noway are you as fast as a decent keyboard such as the E90. The extra power is definately a plus though considering the market and times it is behind by a large margin. Imagin the power if it was a true 1gb chip and overclocked. Multitasking is gold as is the web browser though in all fairness, I would expect these given the years difference.
I see a huge potential for this phone and truely do love it. But I must say and honestly, if used as the E90 was and keeping in mind +3yrs. Not a step up, the smaller screen and keyboard truely let it down, not to mention the shocking battery life. I thought the E90 was bad on power but could use very heavy and still see the day out.
