I don't know, but I remember when I bought my 770, I thought the interface had a strong family resemblance to the S90 experience on my 7710.

An S90 was a very clean touch interface on top of Symbian.

I just ordered an N8 because I want to see how this new device behaves. I may keep it beyond the 14 days, in which case I'll sell my N900 for what I can get. And I will miss it!

I'll be interested in seeing how Nokia moves to update the Symbian device. I'll still rotate it out when the first Meego device arrives.
