@ marc
i'm not a user of the N series, but as far as i can see, the only thing that sets N and E series apart is the product positioning, in terms of purely marketing terms. this means design, which the N series look 'funkier' while the E series being staid and stoic looking in general.
hardware wise, the N series has supposedly better cameras (which nokia would like us to believe, with the CZ lenses used and removal of AF and other dedicated camera functions in E series). in terms of internal hardware, i can't comment on the differences in processors used and so forth as i am quite new at this. however, a glance of the specs would show not much difference between N and E series.
for software, of course there are minor differences which can be overcome by simply downloading the correct software. N users can also have access to blackberry, and so forth. about the media players used, would love your thoughts on this, does the N series have a 'better' player in comparison (much like does walkman player in w series are better than k series)? however, the N series does have the advantage in that it uses s60/3rd edition feature pack 2 and so forth. using my e65 as an example, i only have s60/3rd edition with no feature packs and the inability to upgrade.
so to affirm your point, there is very marginal differences between the 2 series, a blurring of the lines as i mentioned. would love to hear your observations regarding the other supposed differences between the 2 series, however marginal they may seem.

e series is strictly for biz, on i do prefer it since a gave a try for e50, over n series. simple design for heavy usage, meaning the big and beautiful screens and the big and comfy keypads

but boba, isn't that in relative terms, as in user opinion only? the screen specs doesn't differ much in both series, and also, some people might find the keypads in N series more comfortable to use as opposed to the traditional buttons in E series? |

i own both e60 and e65. my first and last n series was the n70, which was swiftly given to my sister. the e series seem reliable, usable, not as steal my phone as the n series. plus you can easily use the buttons. |

@mob543
The N series S60 V2 and really can't be fairly compared to or with S60 V3,
@ Boba
I really can't agree as in the E61 while it may not be as good as a N95 it still does more than adequate job of both Music and Video IMO.
@bodum
The E Series do have better plug ins and options for the standard screen plus a few other apps.
Once Voda deliver my E90 well rather Parceline i will be able to tell further the differences.
On a side note i am seriously PPPP OFF with Sony as the Laptops no longer come with recovery Disks so you have to burn your own when you first get the Laptop. Obviously that was easy but now on restore it keeps ejecting the DVD after each flaming file so i have re load at click OK 3hrs 15 Min's so far not happy.
Edited to say was my problem as it didn't say to insert disk2 so when i did it the second time it worked but still took a lot longer than i think it should. At least the Laptop is now more like it should be although i have not added any programs as intend to only using it for Phone flashing and debranding.

Hi all,
Now i am really not happy with VodaFone Monday they told me to phone Tuesday which i did all went well so added a new contract and phone to my account. Waited all day for delivery yesterday to now be told they added the new account but don't have any E90's in stock for delivery expect them in the middle of August. So obviously one contract cancelled and the hunt is on again for a E90 seriously not happy now though. Having just spoken to 02 they also don't expect stock till mid August.

similar experience here.
my dad phoned vodafone 3 days ago. and they had them in stock but needed to pass it to a different department(as it is a high usage business phone) they said they would get back to him within 6 hours. they only just called back 10 mins ago,and said they dont have any E90s and have no idea when they will get any!

Sorry guys about the E90.....Its arrived down here but i emailed all the nokia shops and they said only a dozen came as they were limited quantity as they had difficulties sourcing them from singapore and guess what? They were special order! Half went to a major operator 4 its top managers and the rest were special order 4 customers. All went within 2 days at a hefty price of £899. They were all black bodied.... |

Hi Dicky,
Seriously not happy with Voda and really can not stand being lied to by anyone especially not a large company i am giving my money to. What makes me more angry is no one rings you to tell you there is a problem. Cancelled the contract immediately as there is no way i will wait 2 weeks for a device i was told would be with me next day.
Now back on the Hunt on E-Bay but it doesn't look like X187 hasn't any either obviously i am not desperate for it so will continue to read the reports of how this device is performing. But as we are now getting closer to the alleged 24th August announcement i may wait and see what Nokia are announcing, although i think it will just be N81/N82 but who knows.
Marc
