I dont see what's so impressive about it?
Hot rumor: The Nokia N8 with Symbian^3
- Thread starter Mage of Dragons
- Start date
Can't believe you made me go through infinite pages to find the link lol, but here you go:
http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap_for_UI
Read slide/page 11. I think everyone should read-up on it.

@Amu, I know what you mean. We would probably be in perfect agreement over a pint of beer. 
What I am trying to say is that maybe its not possible to get SF^4 done as quickly and a lot of ground work needs to be done. That's what SF^3 is, and it makes perfect (well, good) business sense to put out SF^3 while the SF^4 is being finalized. It is clear from the Design Preview video that SF^3 is a massive step in the right direction, and a lot of what we see in it (pinch zoom, "cover flow", single tap logic) is likely to be part of SF^4 too (even if the UI layer is done with Qt, the underlying tech/code is probably usable). Anyway, we probably don't need to bore other thread readers with this anymore.

Not to sound "different" but isn't a good bit of Symbian^3 *not* meant to be different? And wasn't this stated a year plus ago? And wasn't that decision panned as a good idea *here* because Nokia was skipping s^2 for the most part?
It would seem to me that a lot of the complaints in this thread about a device that is being delayed has nothing to do with actual innovation on the part of want, and more about how your expectations were met w/o your hands touching the device. That's not to say that the complaints aren't valid, but they are a good bit off since we don't know what will be in the final, shipping firmware, nor the effects of those changes that have been made.
Aren't we past spouting specs yet? The mark of a device is what it enables, not how big your features list next to another's - especially when others are feeling more enabled with less (hence the rhetoric).

:crying:I don't switch carriers, I'm perfectly happy that they're making devices that include AWS, and even though I know the unlimited 3+g for 9.99/month will come to an end with T-Mobile sooner or later, my question was mostly about why can't they put it all in one?
Edit:
Sorry, confusion - i thought AT&T's 3g was the 850 band, but it's the 1900.
But still, how come they can't put that one with all the others?

It does have a hardware button. That glowing button below the screen is the menu key

Not sure I understand. If the bill of materials is, e.g., $1 more per phone, then the profit is less regardless of what the wholesale price of the phone is, no? Or did you mean something else?

The N8x indeed seems to be real looking at the comments from Eldar and insiders from Mobile-Review.com(not talking about the pictures, but the the spec list from the French site). Thought all seem to agree that it's not going to be released in Nokia's own event at Barcelona 15-16th this month. Who knows maybe Symbian Foundation will be showing Symbian^3 UI in MWC?
I would bet that this N8x is the first milestone Symbian device. Like Nokia exec said there will be 2 milestone devices for 1H and 2H in 2010.
That doesn't mean anything. N80 example is N80-1 and most of the N series prototypes use N00 labeling.
