nokia E7 / N9?

[theron]

my contract is up at the end of the month, should i wait for the N9 or just grab the E7?

Symbian^3 is okay, but it's quite annoying in comparison to Android or even iOS.

you'd be much better off waiting for the N9 if you insist on sticking with Nokia, but i suspect that the N9 will be miserably outclassed by the time it eventually arrives.

Nokia have been very peculiar about delaying the release of their top-spec phones until they're worse than the competition

strange, the n900 was still loads better than anyhing else on the market

only because Maemo was so good. hardware wise it was outclassed after just a few weeks.

In the Case of the N9, with it's rumored specs of a 1GHz Snapdragon and 512MiB of ram, would have been excellent about four months ago, but when (if ever) it comes out, phones will have better specs in all areas

mmm so i wait until the n9 is out and then see what the competition is like.

im quite fussy about mobile phones and it seems the n97 (with its rumoured specs) is the only one that does what i want, except for the E7 but the hardware on that seems poor to me
