@biggzy how does the quality feel compare to the e71? i heard people said that the e71 feels more heavy/solid as in less plastic?

Hey guys,
few months ago i was on a debate on either the n900 or the e72 b4 it was released. Now that i got my n900 i absolutely love it. But thing is that i miss the "phone" functionality of my n95 which lacks on the n900 at the moment. I'm thinking about getting a e72 to complete my need. I love the e series build. it's so solid. Anyways i gave my n95 8gb away so i have no other phone to fall back on ... I'm thinking of getting the e72 but after hearing all these new symbian stuff coming out should i wait for e73 or something? and No im not waiting for meego because i already have my n900 ... i want something solid like the e71,e72 stainless steel build.
unless PR1.2 brings some major updates and features to the table... then i'll reconsider buying another device or not ...

Bottom line though: I probably only make/receive 15-20 calls on a busy day and so far the spartan phone functionality of N900 hasn't been a big deal. . That doesn't mean the phone function shouldn't be WAY better, but it hasn't been 'unuseable' for me.
N900 to me is a great tablet but as far as phone functionality it's not so great .. therefore i feel the need to carry two devices lol ... it's like people carry a phone and a mp3/ipod with them .. that's how i feel.

When I'm working I still use my Blackberry a lot more than my N900. To be honest, I've had my N900 for what, nearly 6 months now and I still don't have a sim card for it. The Blackberry simply handles email a lot better, synch is easier that toasting bread and it supports conference calls and automatic opening/dialling into conference bridges.
Plus, because we go through BES neither iPhone nor N900 (or any other smartphone excepted for Blackberries) can access our corporate email. And no, opening up the firewall isn't an option.
In other words: the N900 is very fun and a cool gadget, but I don't use it as a phone -- except for Skype.

E72 is still not supported from 3 mobile here in the UK so whoever got into the thinking of using skype on it it doesnt work....just my 2 cents on this subject.

after 2 weeks of using N900 I feel exactly the same. Great device but poor phone.
