N8 is not Nokia's flagship, so much of his insightfullness. Need I remind you that you are praising an opinion of a guy who boldly claimed that the iPhone concept is a disaster and it will never sell?

He has lost all objectivity and I really don't know anyone who closely follows the industry who values his opinions and predicaments. Not to mention that he has that weird shifting fanboism synced to the marketing campaigns of various companies in Russia - he used to praise Nokia when Nokia was advertising heavily in Russia, now he praises Samsung - guess who's on the marketing role in Russia atm.?

As is this.

Anyway, if N8 is not a Symbian flagship, then what is?

OK I'll buy that - Nokia no longer has a Symbian flagship, only mid-range devices.

"Flagship" maybe coming in Nokia World.

Nokia staff have said this is not THE flagship, suggesting there is one coming up.

That rumoured N98 has been around for a while known as the E7 (I hope that's NOT the flagship).

There's a lot of expectations for any device Nokia dares call a flagship (what with that cruddy N96 then N97 debacle) .

I hope this year, Nokia will learn what flagship means. It's not about having a camera flagship or a messaging flagship, i.e. diluting your hardware strengths.

Flagship means fastest, newest most heavily armed, leading the pack not only from your own portfolio but the rest of the market.

A lot of eyes are on Nokia to see if they will ever bring out anything that has that combination to take on their rivals. Anything less than spectacular is a fail.

As for N8, what is it? It's one heck of a camera/video smartphone which will have a lot of mass market appeal. Non removable battery won't be an issue for majority of customers and if you needed to replace it later on in its life, you can. Just remove those screws and pop in another BL-4D standard battery.

N8 ticks a lot of boxes. It now just rests on whether they'll polish S^3 in time so that the user experience can match the great hardware.

Ideally the flagship would just be the N8, with bigger battery, bigger higher res screen, still having the imaging features - xenon/hd (i doubt the xenon), better processor, more RAM and have MeeGo.
