Re: Should I trade the N900 in for an N8 or wait for a better phone?
 

n8 has flashlite 4.0 equivalent to flash player 9 imagine how wide it would be already having 4 inches screen. Its not very pocket friendly god! If thats the next meego then thanks but i wont buy it.

Re: Should I trade the N900 in for an N8 or wait for a better phone?
 

well then the N8 will need flash 10.1 in future, yes? if websites are "upgrading" to it???

I just don't like the OS of N8, am in love with maemo.

Re: Should I trade the N900 in for an N8 or wait for a better phone?
 

well, if symbian is ok for you, go with the n8.

if you want a maemo-style OS, then be strong and wait for the meego-device :)

Maybe... On flashlite 5? But thats still months away.

That does sound like a nice device, just wonder how expensive it'll be and if nokia will actually come out with that device.

Re: Should I trade the N900 in for an N8 or wait for a better phone?
 

Will the N8 be capable of running "current" Symbian apps or is the new OS require new code? Sux that my 900 does everything I need/want, save for slingmobile.

Re: Should I trade the N900 in for an N8 or wait for a better phone?
 

n8 is capable of running s60v3, s60v5, symbian^1 & 2 since n8 is just like s60v5 with preinstalled QT and a different interface. But symbian^4 lol! It's symbian which doesn't support symbian & was replaced by QT. In short

n8 = symbian & QT applications
symbian^4 = QT applications only and as they say better interface. :(

It's like symbian^3 is the fusion state of Goku and Vegetta while symbian^4 is Goku alone :p simple as that :D

Re: Should I trade the N900 in for an N8 or wait for a better phone?
 

The N8 comes with Flash Lite 4, which supports Flash 10.1.

Symbian can do a lot of the things that Maemo can that I have seen mentioned in this thread (RDP, SSH, etc) there is a lot of software for it, you just need to look.

About hardware, the CPU is an ARM11 at 600+ MHz, which for Symbian it is decent; but the GPU is a very powerful Broadcom, from what I hear, it is one of the most powerful in a mobile right now.

I would wait for year's end to see the new MeeGo device.
