Was set on SE X1, not sure now...Please help me with suggestions.

I was all set on getting the SE X1, but now very hesitant due to all the issues I've read regarding casing cracks, button breakdowns, as well as other software related issues...

Currently, I'm debating between the Nokia N95 8G & N85, but also considering the E71. I'm very interested in hearing other possibilities, or criticisms to the above selections. Thanks in advance.

E71 looks like a good performer, but heard issues with random reboots. I have heard many N95 users complain about slow camera performance, lock ups, bad sound quality from the earpiece. N85 is pretty solid by all accounts.

Thanks for the feedback, DivideBYZero. I think right now I'm swayed towards the E71, for QWERTY. I've not read anything in regards to random rebooting however, I will have to look into that.

HTC Touch Pro/HTC Fuze? It's the X1 competitor although with a smaller screen. HTC just announced the Pro2 though.

I have an e71 and have had no issues with random reboots. It's a pretty nifty phone but the lack of any sort of app store (or central location to find symbian apps) is really lame. You end up having to google search top symbian apps and visit various blogs and such to get any sort of useful applications.

Looks like the E71 it is then, I'll probably get it this weekend. As for the HTC stuff, I've never really liked them :S

abaez, do you have any recommendations for some essential apps for the E71? Thanks.
