Both appear very similar apart from the qwerty keyboard.

Any other noticeable differences? I do know there is a diff in mp quality - but as I was happy with a 5mp on my N900 I would be more than happy with 8mp nevermind 12mp.

I also (think) that the E7 does NOT have an FM player - thats all I can see.

Has anyone used both who could give some good knowledgable info on them please. Ease of use, looks, feel, build quality, etc.

yes, I have both, in a nutshell these are the tradeoffs

n8 superiorities

camera, autofocus, xenon flash and GREAT quality
fm transmitter
microsd card
battery life(IMO, no hard data)

e7 superiorities

physical keyboard
screen(samoled and bigger)
dual led as torch

I have both (although my sons are using them). I really prefer the N8. I'm not a keyboard person and love the camera.

the e7 felt better in my hands and felt more of a presence. i didnt like the keyboard since am used to the n900 keyboard. battery life on the two was the same. two peas in a pod for me.

We have one of each in our household as well (wifes and daughters).

They both have good and bad points, but I would probably go for the E7 for the keyboard and larger screen.

Physically it is not much larger and is actually slimmer than the N8 due to the lack of camera bulge.

It comes down to personal feel and preference, and the desirablity f the features quipper8 already listed above

I just returned my E7 to swap with a Samsun Galaxy S2 because the OVI store wouldn't start on it even after Nokia second line support taking control of it remotely.

Portrait mode kbd is not good but landscape is qwerty.

HW Keyboard is great.
Phone is quick.

did not like the finishing, you can feel the different parts on the body, feels like a cheap phone to touch.

Do you really have to buy Symbian Nokia? I hear Belle is great but Nokia says it will not be available on E7
