New for the sake of new doesn't do it for me. I have had an E71 for about a year, and have tried the iPhone 3G, several different HTC devices, and the N97 along the way. I've always returned to the E71. Why? It does what I need it to do, in an elegant and reliable fashion. The phone (these are phones afterall) is excellent; battery life phenomenal (and I don't need to double the size of the device by using the ridiculous cradles required by the iPhone); ability to get at multiple email accounts without having to bore down through five thousand screens (iPhone), welcome; and it has literally never crashed. For people who buy these things to aid with productivity, tried and true with performance enhancements every now and then, is just fine. I'm happy that Nokia seems to have recognized that some people want and need a device like the E71 and E72.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
