It's mid-range. It's the E90's and the like that are high-end for E-series. I do hope they do a QWERTY high end device, but this isn't it. It is however, the best device of this form factor in the range :-) No, not high end… It's mid-range. It's the E90's and the like that are high-end for E-series.
