Hot rumor: The Nokia N8 with Symbian^3

Perhaps poor choice of words on my part. Nokia does product planning a few years in advance. To that regard, you are limited to what hardware that is available to you and what the vendor has planned on their roadmap at that point in time.

I guess it all boils down to company agility. If you consider the sheer size of Nokia, the number of phones they have, and global market they are in, then it may make sense. Apple is a bit more agile in regard to the mobile market. They have 3 iphones, and until recently, have only been in the U.S. market.

Perhaps it would make sense for Nokia to spin-off a small company w/ their best and brightest personnel to develop a few high-end phones ground up -- a small reboot of the company. *shrug*

no one is being anti nokia.
nokia are just making CRAP phones. selling them at high prices.

its nokia's own fault.
what is a decent nokia phone, since n95?????????????????

none.
n900 - too fat, OS not ready, too heavy
n97 - POS
n97 mini - the same POS the n97 is
x6 - too crap
5800 - dont even talk about it.

symbian - out dated.
maemo - not ready.

now n8......last years technology. samsung has been seeing a similar phone for 1 year already omnia hd.
 
But as a whore you should have by now learned not to buy any new phone within the first 3 months its out! :D Although, I too gave in to the lure of the N900 almost right after it came out - partly _because_ I knew it was rough around the edges :D.
 
If it doesn't need a 1Ghz CPU to run efficiently, why put one in? It would make the phone more expensive and have a detrimental effect on the battery life (the battery is 1200mAh after all)

The lack of XviD support is a Symbian limitation, will be fixed in Symbian^4

Capacitive stylus would be for China (handwriting recognition). A capacitive stylus is a stylus with a small electrical charge so that it can be detected by a capacitive screen.

The Sprint CEO says LTE will have a larger footprint likely and hinted they would be open to add it later. This would be logical, of course.
 
2 weeks, 3 months, 9 months, 20 years, it doesn't matter. Nokia will never fix the low available RAM problem, just like they never fixed it on the N96, N85 and N86, which all had it before the E72. It's not something that can be remedied via firmware. Unless they put FP1 on it. :lol:
 
I really like what they've done! Good work Nokia!

So what happens now ? Symbian is open so everybody (Nokia,SE, Samsung) gets to build their own UI on top of it ? But wasn't that the case before anyway..
 
Why Does Nokia do this all the time? By that time, the new Iphone will be out and a whole bunch of Android phones, not to mention Windows 7.... :(
