I think we can all agree the N8 would be much better off running Maemo/ MeeGo or whatever pet project Nokia concocts next why Symbian? Leave that crappy OS for crappy phones even if it is window dressed. I wouldn't mind having Symbian on the E-series business line phones, Symbian is suited for that but please not the N, what a crappy OS.
I dont agree and Ill explain say why. MeeGo is in the phase of not even having an UI. Not exactly good for a camera (though an ASCII art camphone would certainly have a supergeek appeal). Maemo ? What Maemo ? Harmattan is AT LEAST still a good 6 months away. Fremantle ? When its camera software regularly gets criticized for being too rudimentary, and even the N900 is viewed as being shipped with something that people here seem to mention only in the context of when it will get replaced or upgraded ? So no, prior to the very end of 2010, there is no sense in any Nokia phone to sport Maemo/MeeGo, with the teeenzy exception of maybe making things like a N900-mini or a N900-MID. Symbian actually has a solid case here.
PS. I still believe it has an ARM11+dedicated video chip. It claims 7.5 hours of HD playback with a higher clocked CPU on a smaller battery than the N900. That doesnt sound like an OMAP3.
Yes Beldar Conehead brings up random facts to explain Nokia's success but fails to understand that the lack of support is not part of the N900's business plan especially when PR 1.2 was promised and still didn't come out.
so no support but support but...... try to make up your mind.
Does this look like smartphone for the general public or are people too ******ED to know that it's a developper phone?
Well "h3llraz0r" I think this thread is a proof that you totally lost it.
I am no developer and the N900 works awesome for me.
There are no bugs in the N900 that stop me from using it the way I want and PR 1.2 is yet another update for me. As far as I'm concerned N900 is an excellent device and a finished product - and by the way you're trolling you're probably one of those iPh0ney fanbois - so that's a good place to start in understanding what an unfinished product is and what a firmware should have brought long ago but failed to deliver.
Secondly I find N8 to be great and if I didn't already have the N900 I'd eagerly wait for it.
Any opinions about it, especially eldar's, are unbiased and unfounded and his photos of the N8 probably come from the janitor or the cleaning lady, otherwise he would have shots and video samples taken with the device.
Thirdly, your opinion is turdly and based on someones opinion that never even held the device at all.
An opinion based on someones opinion that actually has an unfounded opinion doesn't count
So seriously, crawl back to the hole you came from.
I'd kindly ask the mods to merge this thread with his other useless thread so he doesn't fill up too much forum space with nonsense and blaber.
Or why not merge them both with my poll, over here?
... but fails to understand that the lack of support is not part of the N900's business plan especially when PR 1.2 was promised and still didn't come out.
"The lack of support is NOT part of the N900's business plan"?
Are you saying that support IS part of Nokia's business plan?
I've only had my N900 a couple of months and there's been one FW upgrade already and we know another's imminent (PR1.2) so I guess you're right - ongoing support clearly IS part of the plan.
That's what Nokia usually do. Just about every week a FW upgrade is released for some Nokia phone, and some FW upgrades are substantial - look at the one for the E72 last week.
And about the "genius" called Eldork... seriously...

When are these people going to start complaining about

"but why is the USB so small, I was hoping to use the USB cable on my printer"
Seriously, I used to respect Eldar... but he failed with lame rumors and accusations too many times.
If you want proof, seek out his first impressions/praising of the i8910 - where is that phone now? no sales, no support from samsung and the final device wasn't anything like the prototype he had shown in any single way.
"Preview" of the N8 is an unprofessional and subjective short-story based on 3 pictures of the device.
This thread has lost the plot. IMPOSSIBLE to do a fair review on a p.type anything. anyone moaning about the current status of N900 and moaning about Nokia are soon going eat their words. The much waited update is coming soon and from what i read on here from everyone downing the N900 will soon very regret their words especially the poor sods that have sold there's. STOP GRIPING AND MOANING ...WAIT LIKE THE REST OF US AND ENJOY FUTURE PLANS FOR N900. You lot have got either no brain cells or are just plain i want i want and i want it now . A very childish attitude to have.
