Man Symbian 3 is stepping up their game like crazy. I have an S60 version of Symbian right now and I think my 1st symbian 3 device will be either the E6 or the E7. But from the looks of it, looks like Symbian 3 can actually beat ios and android.

AnonD-291, 15 Apr 2011Firstly, whatever you mentioned (except navigation) are al... moreyes hardware features that are put in place together by symbian, not android/ios.
your argument is unfair as you're putting the n8 against Android as a whole. take your pick of android phone. the sgs2 does not have hdmi. Additionally, the HDMI output is coupled with dolby digital plus (5.1). I don't think the arc/lg has that support. (and before you say who needs it...keep reading),oh did i mention with future update there'll be nfc support for the n8? = futureproofing (don't know if i'll use it but as i say, keep reading down)...
FM transmitter, just last time on a road trip, i was in a car with friends, and we didn't have the 3.5mm connector plug. Voila music.
an extra frequency? well for those people who travel alot to different countries with different frequencies...it's a good idea to be covered. It's a choice, for people to use it if it's there.
i said LED is useless as a flash for both video (too short of a distance) and camera (same reason...and blurring efect). So in effect, there's no point in having a flash for both. N8 has a xenon and it's awesome for pics. as a video, well there's no point coz a led will just take more space and it's useless in the first place. Again, it's a choice for people to use if it's there.
ok the navigation part was aimed at iphone. regardless, the apps you describe cost upwards of 10 bucks...not sure if it's a yearly subscription or not. yeah google maps 5.0 sounds great so good on them.
So you'll then argue where's the dual core, the enxt gen phones are all dual core...
i doubt dual cores will ahve a huge effect on userablity. It's mainly for games that will require more processing power. for that i'm gonna stick with my laptops/pc. Think of the battery power needed...it's silly...and the availability of these games will start arriving in ~12-18mths time. By that time it'll be a different story altogether with nokia and WP7/8...

happy with the browser improvement, good job Nokia, but it'd have been a better idea to unveil this before you lost significant numbers of customers. Oh and GSMArena, check this bit again: update that Nokia unveiled on "Money" was the.....

AnonD-6188, 15 Apr 20111st of all, yes you're right, ios/android are very smooth i... moreFirstly, whatever you mentioned (except navigation) are all hardware features that are not directly related to symbian or android.
"HDMI output"
There are android powered phones (optimus 2x, 3d, galaxy sII, se arc etc) that have hdmi output.
"FM transmitter "
who listens to radio these days? Then where will you transmit it to ? Even todays cars are well insulated. And what's the need for it when you can listen to the music the normal way.
"pentaband connection "
just an extra frequency ?
"Xenon "
which symbian^3 phone other that n8 has xenon ?
Just as you pointed out that dual led is not usefull for long distances, xenon flash is not useful for video recording, is it?
"Lifetime voice and free maps "
there are tons of navigation and maps in android apps store, much more than that in symbian. Also the latest Google maps 5 has 3d view, street view, vector graphics and can be used offline.

That's because of hardware limitations. HTC clearly mentioned that. Even I can complain the same way - where is symbian 3 update for former flagship n97, x6 and others? What about meamo users ? Nokia just abandon them even if its a flagship. Same thing is going to happen with current symbian 3 devices when Nokia moves to wp7.......
"Motorola, HTC, and Samsung all promising to update newer phones to gingerbread, even though everybody knows 2.3 adds absolutely no extra functionality to the handset"
that's funny. You complain when a manufacturer DOESN'T updates a phone and now your crying even when they DO update the phone.
Theres no functionality because users already have almost everything they need. Android 2.3 will bring battery efficiency and speed. Its not like ios where apple holds back features like tethering and later updates the iphone to just show the world that they do update.
"These manufacturers (HTC, LG, Samsung, moto) don't give a damn about their users; All they're concerned with is pumping out new phones every 6 months and hoping people buy them"
As if Nokia (or anyone) really cares about their customers more than their money.

kartoonz, 15 Apr 2011Why would all of the functions not matter.
1) Nokia's bro... moreInteresting comment, on the N8 camera, although wondered how you define others are doing better and Nokia has only just entered?
Nokia has been turning out great camera phones since at least the N95. The N8 is simply the best camera phone I have ever used, which is why today I would not change it for another phone, and I have others to choose from.
Do not get caught up with the Megapixels as this is an arms race that means nothing when talking about 'capturing the moment'. The N8 sensor is the same size as many digital compact cameras. And this is the first camera phone where I have seen a digital zoom of any use.
Check this out http://www.flickr.com/groups/nokian8/ it really shows what the N8 can do.
Cheers,
Kevin

That's my point, but there's Trolls that don't understand.
I don't hate Android, I'm dissapointed, I hope more Operatng Systems came around to get real alternatives.
I used Nokia since 1995 and believe me they never dissapoint me, I trie other companies like HTC, Sony Ericsson, LG, Samsung, Alcatel. Motorola, Blackberry, you name it, just to give a trie.
And I allways return to Nokia, now I'm using a Nokia C3 (waiting for the E6 or X7) and Symbian S40 si the most stable OS I ever use, so many years have been mature this version, Long last battery, Clear calls, you name it!!!
WHen I had the HTC 4G I had to recharge my battery EVERY DAY..Or get another 3 batteries for use...No way!!
The discussion here is Symbian...Android needs improvements and that'a a fact. Now I better will wait for Nokia W Series, maybe grab an 5800XM for some time and still using C3 for texting, but great things cames to Nokia...let's see and wait!!!
