I seen that live cd, there is an emulator in the sdk, I dn't think that would give a proper feel for it.
Think i'll sell my phone and watch prices, although my mind changes every 5 minutes.
If I can see a Hero and the lip isn't too big i'd rather have that.

used a magic, liked the OS but didnt like the phone.
Hero is an odd shape but very good. The IE browser is not as good as Nokias tho. Get an E90 if you can live with the size John.
touch HD has a stunning screen which ishuge, so obviously really good for the web but lacks a keypad.
Android is awesome tho

i am tempted to wait for a hero atm. Using my e51 again today and i love the size. Web browsing isn't the best though, an e90 would be far too big.

i think i'd regret not waiting. I'm not paying more than 300 though so depends how quick they drop in price. Still loving the e51 today though, on it again just now

Just read a review on the hero and apparently it's massively underpowered for the build it's running, which puts me off quite a bit.
Think I'll be mulling this one over for a while.

I know
I change my mind every 5 minutes.
There's not one single phone I class as being close to my E71 but the screen wasn't big enough for my new need for internet usage
I was thinking how amazing it would be if they took an E71 case and stuck a massive touchscreen on it.

Yip magic, I'd have rather had a Hero but i'm too fickle/impatient and I wasn't paying 400 quid for one.

Got this through this morning, only been playing with it for 2 minutes but insitial impressions of the size and build are quite good.
It's not built as well as my steel E71 obviously but from some of the reviews I was expecting it to feel really bad, it doesn't so far.

I've got a ROM from xda-developers forum that has built in exchange support, not used it though as I've not got any exchange accounts.
I think copilot is the only sat nav out but i've not looked into this too much yet.
There are also apps for thethering with a laptop but I don't know what they are called.
