so far the motorola Atrix and LG optimus x2 are FAR better options than the E7 and N8.Nokia is staying behind....they must either show something with the N9 or I`m jumping ship to the dual core phones.I`m not eager to do it though as the N900 is more than adequate to handle everything so far....and this is the first time this is happening, not being eager to switch phones because the N900 is such a great phone.

Right now I am sick of Maemo and Bada and fiddling with bugs and limitations. The E7 is the nearest to what I want, but the N9 is probably? exactly what I want. An N9 with Symbian^3 is probably more what I want to be honest.

All these guys here getting seduced by the Symbian.
LOL! Don't do it. Symbian was good at s60v3 for the N95 and the E90 but after that it went to the wall. All this talk of updates every few months, and step 4 of 5 and all that bullcrap. I fell for that crap when I bought an N97 at launch. I ain't getting another Symbian phone. Ever.

Well, i already jump to N8 from N900 after owning it for more than a year. Never regretted... cos indeed no matter what phone you have... and if it is lack of apps... your phone just ain't or can't competed in the real world.
I know N900 is awesome phone.. but what good if you unleashed a Bugatti fast car but only allow driving in a school zone.
Hope one day Maemo if still alive with a lots of apps then I might be back

If Nokia are keeping Symbian for low/mid range phones, and are developing Meego for the top of the range smartphones, how come the E7 is being touted as the company's best smartphone ever, is price-tagged at a whopping $600, but will have Symbian 3, the same OS used for mid-range phones like the C6? Here's a thought: seeing as those rumor blogs show pictures of the N9 looking (very) much like an E7, shouldn't Nokia just withhold the E7 and wait until Meego is ready and release the E7 with Meego? Because if the rumors are true, it seems to me that the N9 will be released later this year, if I bought an E7, I'd probably want to ditch it 6 months later for the N9, a phone that is exactly the same in hardware, but has the newest and most exciting OS.

So my guess is if people her compare it with N-series/N900 phones or Android they getting dissapointed. This phone is not for geeks or multimedia/games..
But I must say I really like the design :-D Í hope new Meego handset will look even better.

I can't say I blame you for turning your back on Symbian after owning an N97, though. N97 owners were royally shafted by Nokia. I had a 5800, and that has received much better support despite it being half the price of the 'flagship' device.
