This phone looks really, really nice. If you can say "better than the E71" then it is already on the short list of Best Nokia Phone Ever. That said, I think I will hold on to my N97 and E71 until Symbian^2 comes around.
I think Nokia needs to combine the strengths of the E-series and N-series and then get their OS to finally compete with the iPhone. I don't mind the N97 interface for now, but if the bloggers mind plenty of people will. Then seriously Nokia, the N9X series deserves to get as much metal and quality plastic and tight fitting parts as the E-series, given we're paying for top of the line and competing against the XPERIA and Touch Pro types, not even the iPhone and Pre. (even outside the US; on contract in HK the E71 is free and the N97 comes out to ~$250 USD).
I'm with Ypoknons. I would really like to see some metal being used in the casing on Nseries. Actually, even the material used in the back of the N95-3, that soft feeling material, I would like to see again.
