I signed on just to refute that, sold my N900 a while ago for a far more supported phone, but I thought this was interesting.

While the E7 is primarily targeted toward business use, I don't think it is. I mean, what makes it a business phone, really? Same OS as it's other latest phones, the undercapable Symbian 3. Same basic features, same connectivity, etc etc. Where's the business part? I mean, even if it had a built in office suite, my phone and many others have that and they're certainly not business phones.

If you want to compete in the market as a smartphone manufacturer, you can't have business phones and feature/consumer phones. You have to have a league of worthy smartphones, geared toward anyone and everyone who knows what a smartphone is capable of.

Not trying to "pick a fight" by any means, this is an online forum. Just figured I'd share the thought considering that although I no longer have my super terrific N900, this is still a great forum.

edit: had to fix some typoes.

Anyway, to chime in on the rest. Although you don't often upgrade business phones, that just justify a ridiculously high price point. And sure it has great hardware, believe me, I totally agree. But my Desire Z (just as an example) cost far less and although the phone doesn't have the greatest build quality, about half of it is brushed aluminium and the phone itself is very sturdy. I also have a great office 2010 suite as well as flash support, a decent app store, S-LCD display which is pretty nice and low power consumption, etc etc.
