why, 22 Jul 2010you got point....battery life and price are factors too....... morethey could increase the battery life to 1500ma except the weight would increase by another 20gram... and people already debate gettin the n900 due to its size. and nokia had a lot of problems (business wise) with qualcomm and thats why they never made a phone with a snapdragon processor. but they cleared up thier issues nearly 4-5 months ago and said they plan on taking out a phone with a snapdragon processor as well.
People say android has good support, if you look at the support nokia has, you'll go insane and wont believe how stacked they have gotten over the last half a year or so.
... the n900 is a teaser for ideas that nokia has generated, and they released that product to see how people would react to these new features. so for those people who wanna compare iphones and bb's and symbian to the n900, they should stop and think what the purpose of both prodcuts are.

Nokia is now using ARM 1176 processor in N8 which is different from previous phones. Along with that, there is broadcom GPU to process graphics letting little load on CPU.

in the current market.......software has become important then hardware look at apple and android.....even though droid phone suck on multimedia front like camera....speaker....etc...huge amount of application is the thing that attracts people...look at past apple iphones the phone sux 2 or 3 megapxl useless speaker no front camera....no microsd no video recording in 2g 2nd 3g....application was the factor that made them strong........if nokia and intel are to release meego with the atom processor ...they better find devlopers to make huge amount of apps

400+USD
i got it for 700USD in january :(
if nokia can universally reduce the price of all their handsets to a affordable price and market their phones better and not take so damn long on release dates then they will have a 10% increase instead of 5%

why, 22 Jul 2010why nokia is killing their phone by putting arm 11 processo... morewat ur saying makes sense, except you need to think of it from a business expense. nokia put EVERY other feature in the n8 (i.e capacitive touch, amoled screen, dual mics, best camera out, aluminum annodized shell, gorilla glass, good graphics accelerator, good memory storage) so price will go up if they make more changes. for that amount of feaetures in this phone, and the price it is supposed to be listed for, you're getting an insane amount of stuff in one cell phone. also, this isn't a slow processor (its not the fastest either), but considering the focus of this phone isn't multi tasking like it is with the n900, this processor will do the trick just fine.
also, im almost 100% sure that this processor can by overclocked to 800+ mhz like it was for the n900. n900 can do 1 ghz (u'll just be sacrificing battery life)

the release n97 was a stupid decision...after the sucess of 5800 nokia should have released a phone with capcative display, cortex processor....supporting multi touch....but no nokia released a phone with 400 mhz outdated arm 11 ...and now its a failure...they lost lot of suppoter after n97....one question why does nokia love the arm 11 processor so much that they are still using it in n8?????why nokia

Maemo is better than Android?? Only as an open source OS. Android takes the best of Symbian and Apple and combines it with a constantly updating OS, with a huge app store. In developing Symbian 3 and 4 and Meego, Nokia is going to have to try VERY hard to stop Android now.
Nokia will use Android in the future, mark my words.
