    hey guys just wait for one and a half year , after that all android fans will be moving to some other OS. Numerology speaking after one year Google's company graph will slowly and steadily will move downwards.

                Nokia is only still supporting Symbian because WP7 still is far from good enough, and Nokia now realise that WP7 probably will not be good enough for a very long time, definetly not anytime during 2011 and maybe not even during 2012 or ever. WP7 still can not do all that the old Symbian can do, but 2012 Android will be very much better than today and Nokia should have moved to Android, or even their own MeeGo/Maemo.
                Do Symbian really need faster cpu, fans have always said that Symbian do not need fast cpu? Will the screen resolution still only be 360x640 even with faster cpu and faster gpu?

                      other makers dont innovate as much as nokia
                      they just pump up numbers... if that is the future you want, go ahead and embrace it

                      americans did just that to their cars... where are they now?

                        Guys,

                        One thing that amazes me a lot is the below ARGUMENT which is uniform among all Nokia "BLIND" Fans.. Dont get me worng here.. I am referring to those who are BLINDLY living in the Nokia Hole..and they are not the same as ORDINARY Nokia fans.

                        The ARGUMENT is - Nokia is first to introduce this and that!! so Nokia is the best. Go get a Nokia!!


                        I agree Nokia has pioneered in several innovations that led to the growth of Mobile Industry world wide. But I am not the one who is doing research to find out who invented what and I wont sit admiring them for that. I am an end customer who wants a bang for the money I invest. I would buy anything from any manufacturer which I feel is the best for my needs atm and in future. But those blind fans say.. oh come on.. Nokia introduced smart phones to the masses..got get a NOkia smartphone (even though it has got a dead OS!)

                        It is not 'who made it first'.. It should be 'who makes it best'.

                        Bottom line is customers don't look at history (of the Brand) but look for future (of the product)

                              One thing is clear, android fan's only job is to invade into nokia related articles and try to advertise their os. Lol. Any single Nokia related article attracts more people than all android articles , and one thing i have been noticing since day one is that android users are not well matured like symbian users.. We can see it in their comments how crazy they are.. Oops.

                                      Better means better in terms of cpu, twice as much ram, better resolution, almost par display, bigger screen size, much Bigger battery, same 720p video recording but at 30 fps, etc.

                                      Only field where n8 wins is camera and USB OTG. USB OTG does not have any plausible practical application as both devices already have wireless data transfer (bluetooth v3).
