        If you go thru the pages on this topic, a good number of ex-almighty brand users reflected their disappointment regarding the almighty brand's phones.

        Personally I know at lesat 3~4 users of almighty brand said their next phones will be iphone.

        That's what NORMAL non-fan boys do...

          I still think that the market will give the N8 a chance. From what I see, Nokia already thought of a solution to all the bugs that the old symbian versions possess via Symbian 3. I still think that it can go head to head with the iphone. I think that one reason as to why Nokia somehow "leaked" the whole N8 is to find out possible consumer complaints. Having just read the the recent "review" of the N8, I bet that Nokia will probably do something about it. The N8 got delayed for a reason, Nokia is probably fixing minor bugs that the N8 exhibited during the "review". This will be Nokia's flagship phone, they will be extra careful i'm sure.

                    In my opinion . Nokia still rule the world is because

                    their users get what they pay for
                    their services like free maps
                    they know what they are doing

                    if you want me to say something negative about nokia well
                    nokia please work harder and quicker to bring out s4

Nokia makes great phones and that's why people buy them. NORMAL people don't buy phones because Google tells them to, they do so because they like their phones.

                      Good for you normal person, I've had a very similar experience to yours.

                        256 mb is enough to run one symbian application. Remember this is based on symbian^3, so you can run unlimited applications on background, because only current application will use Ram, others data will be save to phone memory or memory card..

                            I can only talk from my personal experience. I bought the nokia 5800 when it first came out. I personally never found any problem with the operating system and found it quite easy to use, even though I had never used a nokia before (being a loyal SE user for years). over the past year my user experience on the 5800 has continuously improved as nokia has continued to make frequent firmware updates. Although I find the phones coming from Samsung and HTC to be pretty cool, I'm going to stick with nokia for the time being and try out this new phone, as so far I have been quite impressed with their services.

                                    My team has 3 almighty brand users and none of them know what Symbian is...(2 using E63), they only use the phone for "phone" and SMS...

                                      I gave up on almost everything on this phone...and did NOT install any program or email or web browsing. I only used it as a "phone".

                                      Yet it hanged & rebooted itself quite frequently to the point I decided to sell it.
