Samsung Galaxy nexus is really nice smartphone

Shouldn’t the Nokia E7 be added to this list? The processor’s not as powerful but the OS is less bloated so I figure it’s roughly equivalent. Also the fact that it has a real keyboard and comes with quickoffice, mail for exchange and HDMI out makes it pretty high end.

Dear Steve,
This is an endless discussion and being a Symbian fan I wish I could have included N8 or E7 in the above list but I also know it would have been wrong. The whole thing will clear for you if you compare E7 (slow and buggy OS, only single-core 680 MHz CPU, low 360×640 pixels resolution and many more cons) with any 4 inches screen phone from the above list.
