      [deleted post]That coming from you OvO?! Im rather surprised man! Anyway for those that cannot understand the reason for pr1.1, it was never meant to ring the changes! It was a release as a link to the step up to 2.0. That link was mainly to iron out the few glitches and to increase performance of the unit itself. The update also would have been too big to include in one update alone OTA. This is the 1st step in the changes to come and with some minor tweaks. If guys bought this specifically for updates alone then wake up! Why did you guys buy it initially? Not for the brilliant features that at the time others lacked and most still do? Update or not, the phone still has great features. Ive stated in previous posts about the Qt apps ability and power coupled with smoothness. Apps and updates are coming in Qt form. Take a look at the bubbles app from beta labs. That is awesome and what to expect in future is more of these apps and updates to similar eyecandyness. That is what to expect in the near future. The new ui going to look and feel awesome. Smoothness would be just as good. Nokia did the planning already for the future updates and for the integration of qt into the apps and ui. Hence the good gpu (not just for games) and inclusion of qt in the phones. Lastly the updates filter through different countries and not all at once. You guys want the nokia servers to crash? Then any further updates would be even more delayed! Thats the last thing they'd want, to shift their focus somewhere else. Now be patient and wait like me and your turn will come for the update and 2.0 will come and when it does, you are sure to surprised!! 50+ updates!

          I cant understand why is Nokia so tied to Symbian. Even Samsung or Ericsson had their software, and they all changed to Android plus theis Ui over it, like Lg or Motorola. With this, i dont even bother to look for buying a Nokia now. I see that crappy symbian windows moving around the screens...what a hell is that? so oooold!!! And believe me, i like a lot nokia, cool design etc..its like the Bmw of the phones, but i dont want a BMW with a Renault motor, or Citroen!! even knowing that Renault and Citro are amazing cars and so reliable! :)

            Anonymous, 05 Feb 2011does it have 12mp cam, usb otg.... NahBut it does have loud stereo speakers (around 5800's loudness). That's one thing I wanted in the N8, but sadly Nokia didn't include that. I mean come on, the past flagships had stereo speakers (N95, N96). Don't count the N97 though, its speakers, although two, are horrible.

                      I real problem with the N8 and the delay with E7 is the operating system is not fucntioning properly thats y the delay in E7 release. The touch screen has lag and lack of sensitivity in handling in the N8, obviously the same problem is going to appear for E7. Nokia has failed to come up with an operating system which could match the iphone 4 or BB torch or Samsung galaxy. Nokia needs to come up with a screen that moves smoothly otherwise its going to be too late for them.

                        As typical with Nokia, their devices are released with software in Beta form.

                                if this small Qt application is THIS DAMN IMPRESSIVE then the new UI and everything else will be EVEN better i guess that`s why nokia was taking so long cause they want it to be as premium as possible specially with N8 being their last symbian Nseries they need to show that it`s a premium device

                                    Another blog confuses PR1.1 and PR2.0 (due Q1). How depressing.

Only what you want is good for the rest of us? Spare me with your ideocracy and go play with your toys. Symbian is used by some hundreds of millions on this planet. Do you think it just can stop exists because some trolls want that? OMG you just got me nervous
