I for one, is bored of maemo and meego, and got myself a Samsung wave with Bada. I will not call it a step up from the N900, but it is different. My wife got a N8 and to be honest Symbian3 is a step up from maemo5. The E7 looks nice, but it is not worth the steep price IMO.

I will stick with my Wave untill the N9 comes along. Then I will see if it has proper ovi integration. If it doesn't, I will get a Symbian phone or perhaps a WP7. But it has to have hw keyboard.
