I feel the MeeGo announcement is just going to be another Iphone clone anyway. In Maemo, they dropped MMS. Now, under Elop, Copy & Paste will be two $1.99 nAppstore applications. Since Nokia de-opensourced Symbian (OMG!) , I can't honestly say I believe Nokia will release an MeeGo phone without purposefully sabotaging it.

Have you thought about the Nokia E6? Being on the same boat as you, I was looking mainly at the pre3... but when I saw the E6 I fell in love. It's not as fancy as a big-***** slate device, but the new symbian Anna looks veeeeery interesting, it has a very nice keyboard and stuff like USB host mode, freakishly long battery life etc. Plus it looks pretty good.
Screen size: 2.46"
TFT LCD
Resolution: VGA (640 x 480), pixels per inch: 326ppi

I don't know if MSFT is shelling out it's cash so that the WP handsets are competitively priced but both LG optimus 7 and HTC 7 trophy were just under 200? last week and with a 123? euro subsidy it was just too tempting. So I am posting from a very nice looking Ghz 'i wanna be iPhone' device. Very sexy UI, fast, excellent keyboard, dreadful ie.
Market is not available in my region and though after some failed attempts I got in the UK market, I can't buy anything cause my credit card address is of course non UK. Antialiasing is horrible on ie, text is more readable on the 360x640 i8910 than on the 800x480 optimus. These are my first thoughts, it will be my primary phone for a while and I will post how is life with it.
P.S. Maps look nice but functionality is limited, and I like the spell checker. Oh and there is no Greek input...

If you don't need to use it as a phone, how about the Viliv n5 (or s5)? I got a Viliv N5 off ebay for 410 USD (with an additional battery). I should get it in a few days, and I am very excited about it.

I'm actually thinking about getting an Motorola Atrix. I'm up for a new plan with AT&T and it's $100 right now... for a 1ghz tegra2, qHD screen, 1gb ram...
