I'd love to give E7 a try. I think Symbian (and especially Symbian^3) is a very solid operating system (in fact, as far as I know Symbian is one of the best operating systems out there for embedded devices, performance and flexibility-wise), and to be honest that phone looks just beautiful 
BUT - I won't trade my N900 for it

I think 1.1 or 1.2GHz is the max for the N900.

Hm Id love to have a thin mobile phone for my suits and such, this bulky bastard kinda gets in the way some times when all I really need is "phone" and "sms". course, Im sure theres thinner and cheaper devices that can do that. on the other hand again, the new os intrigues me slightly.
but yeah no, Im not swapping my n900 until something better comes along with hw keyboard and such an open OS as maemo5.

Yes it is a bulky bastard. But I think it is the best bet for having a HW keyboard and quality, open OS.
N9 will succeed the E7 by late summer this year, and E7 owners will be pissed off. N900 owners will be happy they waited

All I want is 40 acres, a mule, and Xterm.
