Go look at the date the N900 shipped. Then look at the date PR1.3 came out. If it's greater than three months apart (which it should be by a decent amount), then the above statement is wrong.

It's a gorgeous looking device.. i had a quick play with it earlier, the qwerty keyboard feels way more natural than the N900.. but, just like the N8, the software feels old.. it's smooth enough but nowhere near how quick android on the HTC Desire feels.. and especially not as quick as WP7 feels on the HTC 7 Pro. Symbian should have been "put to sleep" a few years ago. It offers nothing over the newer operating systems.
If all you ever had was an E71 or 72 then i'm sure you'd love the E7.. but anyone who has owned an N900 would be tired of it in a few hours.
It's a shame they didn't release a version with Maemo.. the hardware really deserves it

Well N8 is currently being sold for $389 so I assume this one will be around $400 in a month

Ok the keyboard might be good but it needs to be detatched and attatched to a much better device, this E7 is well out of date even before it gets on the shelf.
NB Look at the spec it will make you run away from it altogether.

E7 has a nice screen although lower resolution makes it not as attractive as it could be. Also, it has awesome build quality. But I prefer simpler slide mechanism of N900. (easier to slide) Low sounding 256MB RAM doesn't matter at all. It's actually plenty for Symbian. But it needs a faster CPU that's for sure. It's unbelievable that Nokia released their most recent high-end device with a worse "core" hardware than N900 released back in 2009!
If they just fitted a faster CPU, WVGA resolution AMOLED and a MicroSD slot with Maemo5 OS on it, it would have been a winner and everyone here would have sold their N900 for it.

And if only they provide the option to side/dualboot maemo onto their symbian devices, they'd infinitely increase their product's values.
