Android just uses a Linux kernel(a partitioned one, ye cant even modify/mess wit it). Thatz the ONLY relationship between Android and Linux, whereas MeeGo is the REAL DEAL!

              [deleted post]CPU might be weak in the n8, but coupled with the bcm 2727 gpu, and you know what i mean

              RAM is actually sufficient for symbian^3 cause you have the ability to terminate running apps instead of letting it run on the background and eating up memory. this also saves battery

              nHD resolution is produces a 16:9 wide ratio, perfect for multimedia. resolution is not that bad really. you cant really notice the difference between a nHD screen and a WVGA screen in one glace.

              even the movie industry uses 25fps recording. 30fps looks more life-like but camera shakes are more obvious. Video light is totally unnecessary for the n8 as it has a good low light recording ability. Check youtube for vids. and led video light doesnt really go that far.

              3 home screen is more than enough IMHO especially when you can put 6 widgets on each home screen. actually symbian^3 has 'live wallpapers' too a.k.a animated wallpapers. Just go to themes and select 'animated background'

                          And being tied down to the internet to do almost everything on your phone seems pretty pathetic IMHO.

                            How do you carry your HDTV around if it's "portable"? :)

                            I don't need to transfer data to and from my Android 2.2 phone to or via a pc.
                            There is Facebook for showing pictures to my friends, youtube for showing videos, e-mail and sms for sending messages and possibly files, internet to get whatever I want to my phone.

                                george, 29 Jan 2011Maybe Nokia still looking good on sales in 2010,but in 2011... moreNokia would loose their leadership position if they had nothing coming up.I agree with the statement but that's not the case.

                                Nokia has plans 2 release Meego & S^4 this year.Well that's too obvious & with these 2 OS's they'll secure their leadership position in the foreseeable future.

                                Nokia rulez!

                                      [deleted post]How smart is your smartphone? Because as I know smartphones other than Nokias still can't Bluetooth a file nor lets you install apps on a memory card yet they boast 1GHz and dual cores. On the otherhand, Nokia Symbian smartphones which are considered outdated by many have far more advanced functions like turning your HDTV into a portable media hub, transferring files easily and directly to other devices without the need for a PC, completely replacing your digicam and videocam, etc. Of course you wouldn't know all of these because your smartphone can't do these. Now which is the real smartphone?
