Hot rumor: The Nokia N8 with Symbian^3

So, how long from launch did it take Nokia to fix the low available RAM problem?

I gotta say, getting it over 70 is impressive. Maybe I'll hold out a little hope for the E72.
 
Not only camera enthusiast, but those that also want a smartphone with a great camera, not sure what ram and processor is either, wished he would hyave touched on that, i always said the n97 with the insides of the 3gs would have been great for me.
 
Well said.

If I remember correctly, Eldar also caught some flak for bashing SE a while back as well. He does call it like he sees it. Anyone who appreciates objective reviews can find something to like with his style-

I obviously haven't used the device yet, but if the RAM is 256MB, I honestly don't need a whole lot of UI changes if the damn thing works without freezing up.
 
This looks like the phone I played with. However, in the pic, the center touch screen button looks like it has 6 home screens as indicated by the 6 dots. The one I played w/ has 3 home screens (3 dots).

If you look closely, you can see where the scratch-resistant brushed-aluminum cover starts on the side of the phone (the top-earpiece and bottom-mic are plastic).

Early summer was the latest that I have heard now...

I don't believe for a second, that Nokia's pissed at Eldar for leaking the N900. The N900 is a developer device. Nokia has said as much themselves. Nokia's pissed because Eldar was negative about it.

And what's wrong with Eldar going to see Samsung? He is in the mobile review business, not the Nokia review business, correct?
 
Indeed. Some people are acting like there's nothing to be critical of Nokia for. Well, dammit, it's Q2 2010, and we still don't have a device with 256 mb's of RAM. :lol: How ****ing pathetic is that?
 
"To the masses" and "messaging" it apparently says hidden in the flash (someone at M-R had cracked it), so sounds more like low/mid-end qwerty devices, possibly in the C series?
 
is that really all 5 bands on one chip though? I assumed those specs were just saying that all those bands will be covered by the different variants by region.

if so this will be a first in the industry by a long shot.
 
Two things:

With Symbian 3, doesn't this make devices with S60v5 essentially "abandon-ware"? In other words, Symbian and Nokia are moving on, so other than maybe another firmware update or two, maybe, you better like the current device that you buy as it is now.

This is odd considering that the N97 Mini and X6 is just being released in major markets. So, warning to any potential buyers and all that...

Second: yeah, aside from an expanded feature list, I'd just like to see Symbian 3 nail down the things that were wrong in S60v5, including an unintuitive user interface. And of course, Symbian aside, Nokia can help by not knee-capping their products before they even have a fighting chance, with a CPU and RAM from 2005.

Another thing, why aren't they going right to Symbian 4 again? Just sayin'...
 
12mp camera? better have a xenon flash for pics and dual led for vids

Other then that the only think i hope for is atleast 256 ram. Can't stand attempting to open up a webpage with graphics and my phone's ram goes down to single digits then the browser just closes...
 
OMAP4 is a dual core Cortex A9 with a graphics accelerator:

  • OMAP4430 - 720 MHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore + PowerVR SGX 540 GPU + C64x+ DSP + ISP (Image Signal Processor)
  • OMAP4440 - 1+ GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore + PowerVR SGX 540 GPU + C64x+ DSP + ISP (Image Signal Processor)

This kind of setup with the proper amount of RAM would be nice on any phone!
