Have you thought about the Nokia E6? Being on the same boat as you, I was looking mainly at the pre3... but when I saw the E6 I fell in love. It's not as fancy as a big-***** slate device, but the new symbian Anna looks veeeeery interesting, it has a very nice keyboard and stuff like USB host mode, freakishly long battery life etc. Plus it looks pretty good.
