I think that the E7 will be a 'good' phone, but fear it won't compete in the market out there right now. And while the N8 has a sexy camera, lots of people bemoan Symbian3 as the step forward from S60 that should've been a LEAP. And Maemo5, even with it's limitations probably would still be more enjoyable to use than Symbian3. For me, the bottom line is this: I'm sticking with my N900 until something of EQUAL quality comes out, which is more than likely going to be the N9 running Meego. And even then I'd wait until it was a proven unit before parting with my N900 and $$$.
