      if nokia will release an android phone sure it will cost more than any brand. And ppl will start complaining why its so expensive. its very hard to fulfill ppls expectation. if 100million ppl give bad reviews to nokia and all of them give the same suggestion how to improve the phone... i'm 100% sure nokia will built a phone same as what the 100million ppl wanted. sad but true most of ppl in this planet only afford what nokia has to offer.... so poor ppl will thank nokia for giving poor ppl a chance to use smartphone and rich ppl can thank iphone htc samsung.

            i really want to help nokia(they have good build quality for their phone) but then nothing is innovative with symbian 3, i expected at least some new homescreen like HTC sense but same old thing, this is actually what n97 should REALLY be only...

                every tech site seems to hate nokia nowadays
                engadget is an apple fanboi, and then this Eldar guy and his often-useless site

                whatever, i still love my n86

                      For 400-450Euro+Vat it will have great value for money,but if they price it at 480Euro+ then...Hope they are sane and they won't.

                        Anonymous, 26 Apr 2010And? What's your point? Nokia released the N95, E90 and a... moreThe point is that nokia should release one major handset instead of many. Like the N97 (Which I bought the year it was released)....The software was very buggy and it had major problems. Not even a year later, they released the N900 and N97 mini. Those of us who bought the N97 felt stranded because Nokia quickly launched new handsets to cover for the Buggy N97. Not only did it have major software problems, it had design flaws such as the camera lense scratching. There was also a problem where the back plate had to be changed to get faster signal on my gps. Already, within only a few months of buying the still fairly new handset, It had been to the nokia repair centre many times. Those of us who bought it felt really ripped off.

                        Instead of rushing and releasing many handsets, they should also concentrate on software testing on them as well. There would be no need to release many software updates to fix problems if the defects were found by testers before the launch. I have owned many nokia phones before this, all of which were Nseries handsets, so I know from first hand where Nokia began to slack with their handsets. This was with the n95 onwards. With the exception of the N900

                            I like Nokia and addicted to use symbian. But it is very disappointing that they are not offering any distinguished phone after N95. N86s improvements were good but 434 MHz processor is the biggest fool to be used in it. Same Processor is used in N97 and again a Flop Phone. If Nokia offers a phone which has hardware like a Latest Extreme Gaming PC (As N95 had in 2006-2007) then i am ready to bet that they will be out from the mud of criticism. Android is being liked very much but if u deeply study the characteristics of this OS then u will see that it is still developing and the latest developed Android don,t have too much for u to use(At-least upto 2 years) Consult WikiPedia!!!!!!

                              No lens cover? Why now? Nokia always have lens cover in their flagship phones.

                                  The specs sounds great,but the UI I honestly dont know what 2 make of it,it will all boil down to performance.So until the unit is out and reviewed I will decide if its worth continuing using symbian.

                                    Eldar is now a discredited reviewer of phones. When he was in good books with Nokia he never used to be as critical as he is now (justified or not). When he messed up the N900 launch for Nokia by leaking it before a Nokia announcement, he now writes negative articles about Nokia and has now turned to showering praises on Samsung. The other time he was wan.king about Bada, a largely untried OS and lavishing praises on Samsung endlessly.

                                    So i will discount whatever Eldar says about Nokia coz he clearly hates the company and can't be trusted to come up with something not biased. To compound matters, eldar makes these premature leaks/review using "stolen" phones with pre production firmwares.

                                    Anyway, if you make your phone purchasing decisions based on what Eldar said, then God help you.

                                      Wow... so the leaked photo were real? Well, dang! That thing looks ugly as hell! Symbian^3 FAILS to impress. I can't believe this thing is gonna be out til Q3! Like WTF?! Symbian is dead! Just look at that thing. Same old outdated look. The menu, the options, the icons, and just about everything. Same old sh*t.

                                      Android has already reached 50,000 apps and companies are making it their new flagships with customized slick looking UI. The iPhone is gaining major popularity and is rising. Then there's Windows Phone 7 Series. Symbian just dropped market share... Poor Nokia fanboys.
