I have an n8 preordered
will definitely get the n9 too when it comes out, so i will probably not get the e7(very similar form factor)
i don't see why you just have to have one device, I mean you can swap sims in about 2 minutes and your off.
Right now I swap sims with four different phones depending what i am going to be doing, they all have my contacts calendar and email setup:
iphone 3gs:use this when out with the kids, ton of games and edu apps installed and it is simple enough they can work it.
samsung vibrant:mostly for mobile media use without sim, but sometimes i run this one with sim. the screen is really nice and media player plays most formats. Probably going to sell this one when n8 gets here.
nokia e72:If I am going to be on the road in the car, this is definitely my choice. ovi nav is great, easy one handed use, very long battery life
nokia n900:my daily driver. does everything

The E7 looks very slick, but for most of us who have been here before the n900, these devices aren't considered competitors to any high-end handheld computing device. Even current smartphones. Nokia continues to draw a very thick line between Symbian products and Maemo/MeeGo products. The screen resolution says everything.
These phones are a huge contrast to what plenty of us are expecting. Even though it won't be a dual-core A9, I'm becoming very optimistic that the N9 will be a must buy. It will be Nokia's only competitor to the likes of the iPhone and the Galaxy S.
As usual, these Symbian devices will never be a consideration for my kind, but I hope Nokia's Qt vision pays off so that the masses just won't care what's underneath. Or about screen resolution.

I have a question, now since Symbian is now open source can there be a dual boot to MeeGo? Because it would be really nice to have an N8 or an E7 with MeeGo builds on it!

Even if symbian is opensource it doesnt mean N8 or E7 is open.. The symbian phones from Nokia are tightly locked down so that you can't go replace/mess up the OS..

I´m waiting for the N9-03.
Let me explain.
We´ve got the N900, which Nokia is giving shitty update service to.
The next device will be the N9-01. Which will be running a hybrid Meego-Maemo (Harmattan is Maemo 6 with some Meego parts). That is also a "dead end" like Maemo 5 and predecessors. It will likely get the same shitty customer service as the forerunners.
After that we will have N9-02 which will be the first Meego-Meego device (if it´ll ever come ouit). I won´t trust Nokia to not abandon it, after having proven through the 5 previous devices that they give crappy service to their customers. Also being the first it won´t have that many rpm packaged programs available for it at the beginning so I don´t want to wait a year for programmers to wake up and have a half-usable device.
Hence I´ll wait for the N9-03 to see if they´ve ironed out all the bugs that were in the first Meego device.

Don´t trust on Nokia to assist in helping developers remember that.
I have no problems with Symbian as an OS. I don't get a lot of the Symbian hate coming from N900 owners I read on a lot of sites because the better Symbian^3 does, the better Qt will do. There is no longer such a thing as a Symbian or MeeGo developer, they are all now Qt developers.
