Got the dreaded telephony disabled error message, sent it to Nokia repair & got a N8 back as a replacement.

Not very happy with this, so contacted escalations and they've offered an E7 instead. I'm still gutted because I want a N900/Maemo/Meego phone not Symbian.

They've said they can't do anything other than offer me a replacement phone because they haven't got any parts. I even asked for a refurb, but no joy. Has anyone on here use an E7 and how does it compare to the N900?

Do you think it's worth asking for a N9? Problem is, there's no UK release date for it yet and I need a decent smartphone like, now!

Any advice or feedback would be must appreciated.
