That device was a killer, but now it's too old. Samsung has many killer phones, which are NEW. Now Nokia is LEFT behind. They have ONLY one great smart phone, the N9. The N9 will NOT have great support. The N9 is a great device, I admit that. The SG2 can compete with the N9 easily. It has a bigger, and better screen, better CPU. Both have 8 MP camera, the same Ram."
    i believe Nokia was left behind, but now they are taking some serious actions. ofcourse N9 is the greatest smartphone from Nokia to date. but you have to understand symbians are not for high end markets. it is mid range. Wp7 phones are coming soon with higher specs. SG2 can compete with N9 easily in software wise only. android and meego are both linux. they are great. but meego is full linux but android is java VM ware. HW wise Nokia always wins. one example N9.

        Everyone should just relax... Its just a phone. If you ask me if Nokia is good... its AWESOME! Why? They came out with GSM. Be thankful. They make cheap phones, communications should be a necessity these days. No doubt SGS2 and Android are great. But Nokia came out with most things FIRST! just bad marketing. Nokia phones get a lot of updates... the Nokia 5800 is still getting updates after 3 years... Lets see what Samsung can do for their greatest fans... an update or two perhaps? SGS2 is made out of the shelf products... Nokia Flagships... Custom hardware my N8 Carl Zeiss Camera Module. Well... just relax. Its just a phone.

          Is true, 680mhz is enough for symbian, too bad the current market does not think so. So nokia had to deliver what the market wanted, a 1ghz powered phone

            [deleted post]"I wanted to compare Symbian phones, because we are talking about Symbian devices, since the X7 is their best Symbian device, I had to compare that with the SG2. The N9 has Meego. Meego is an OS I like, but Nokia will be disconnected because they abandoned it. They are fo*ls. :(" ,
            then you have to understand Nokia is not going to make symbian phones for high end markets. the new released phones are symbian Belle phones. so we have to compare with them to new released androphones. personally i like symbian Belle , coz it looks faster than android on a outdated hardware.

                HARDWARE NOT NOT NECESSARILY EQUALS TO REAL LIFE PERFORMANCE

                Have you even seen the n9 hands on demo? Same goes with phones running on symbian belle where it can put most single core 1ghz phones to shame

                    [deleted post]The reason why your X10 lags is due to Sony's horrible Rachael UI which is very resource hungry. Check how much memory is available to user after a fresh restart and you'll see that it is the UI that is causing the problem. Compare it to the Nexus One running on vanilla gingerbread and you'll see a noticeable difference. Sorry Nokia lost, their market share is just diminishing every day, every minute, I don't see the hype about the N8-01. Even at 1GHz it wouldn't make a difference, since you Nokia fanboys claim that Symbian OS in itself is already efficient it would matter whether if it ran on a 680MHz CPU or a 1GHz cpu. Also I thought you fanboys kept talking about Android fragmentation? ROFL isn't Nokia causing fragmentation by having the N8-01 at qHD? since all of its other devices will run at nHD?

                        [deleted post]Way to be an ignorant Nokia Fanboy.The N9 uses hardware that was on the original Galaxy S 1 so how is it better than the Galaxy S2 specwise in everything but the screen? The N9 uses a highly clocked Cortex A8 CPU(~40% faster than the original Galaxy S) Single Core CPU, it uses a WEAKER GPU than the original Galaxy S, has 1GB of ram, but then again the Galaxy S 2 has 1GB of RAM as well, has a smaller screen size, Galaxy S 2 has Super AMOLED PLUS as well. Sorry you fail, you mention that for the price of a Galaxy S II you can purchase an X7 and Nokia 500, but those phones combined doesn't even scratch the Galaxy S 2.

                              whateve you guys say it wont stop us from buying symbian phones or stops nokia selling them. It only show how jealousy you are of because you're not getting what you needed from android/ios. If no then why there is a need to bash nokia, dont u guys have some other business?

                                AnonD-1131, 04 Sep 2011It's not an April fools joke but a fact! Just wait and see ... moreNokia can't make an Android killer phone, that's a fact too. The Nokia X7 can beat the GS2?? NO! The Nokia 701 can beat the Galaxy R?? NO! You should be enlightened.

                                        Yeah, well, now that i have Belle running on my N8, i would say it is a really, really good phone but of course it starts to lack the HW power needed to run todays apps. If N8-01 turns out with the specs rumored, i.e. 1,2Ghz Dual Core, 1 GB mem, dedicated GPU, 14Mpx camera, then i'm the first in line for sure!
