    Anonymous, 09 Jan 2011you are dreaming, and no1 believe you. Anyway, 900MHz for a... moreu will come to know when updates will release.
    First update will clock cpu to 735mhz.i am in this field .
    . It delivers extreme low power and a range of
    performance from 350 MHz in small
    area designs up to 1 GHz in speed.
    One of the nice things about
    Symbian^3 is that hardware
    acceleration has shifted a lot the work
    load to the GPU.
    Frame rates have jumped from 15fps
    in Symbian^1 to 60fps in Symbian^3.
    s^3 phones can be clock to 1Ghz.

      garry, 09 Jan 2011Nokia Iseries is coming next year .first nokia i10 specific... moreGuys, please keep rumors aside from this forum
      This is Damian dinning's words for a question

      NC: We know you’re still working on the camera software. Could you give us any hints on what we might expect in the next version?

      DD: I’m afraid not. I’d rather not promise anything at this stage only later to possibly disappoint people if we find we can’t overcome all the technical challenges we need to. However, I can say we’ve been listening very intently to the feedback and that it is all going into current and future product development. Please keep the feedback coming.

      So don't spoil the reputation of Nokia by spreading rum0rs.

      In a side Note to @Him

      There are some serious work going on in Nokia indicated by their silence in CES 2011. There are preparing a killer device to answer all that announced in CES and will be announced in MWC. It is well clear from a comment by a Nokia employee in an article about LTE, he says, "who knows which company is going to ship the first device". Even though lets keep rumors aside. Rumors can only make the expectation high and result in a disappointment.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth

        Cool, it in most places comes as a supporting fact for Nokia N8, given that it has a dedicated GPU to handle most of it tasks, and Symbian's ability to utilize the processor technology.

        "Much has been made of the N8's use of a 680MHz processor in a 1GHz world, but those numbers are predictably beguiling. The N8 has a separate Broadcom GPU alongside its ARM 11 processing core, which takes over when things get graphically intense and delivers performance that rarely left us feeling underpowered. Couple that with Symbian^3 being able to exploit the graphics processor to perform hardware-accelerated OS animations and graphics, and grunt should altogether be quite adequate for the tasks the N8 is intended to perform. 720p movies were certainly no challenge for this phone. A lot more worthy of critique might be the 256MB memory allowance, which halves what other new phones are coming out with, but again, the argument can be made that Symbian^3 is an inherently more efficient platform and the lower number on the spec sheet doesn't seem to have had a correspondingly negative impact on real world use"

        An extract from Engadget review, the people who criticize the N8 most will be enough to clear your myth i guess. (remember Engadget is often pointed as iPhone fanboy and they just has a little to no care for Nokia).

        I appreciate you for never giving up trashing on Nokia (in all the forums, N8, E7 and so on even after you got clearer explanations for each of your trashes).

            hand writing like they use to on s60 5th for all the languages

            like mandarin,cantonese,korean,japanese,hindu

            like all those cause i remember if you change the product number you can get them nokia should just make it all universal for less problems

                [deleted post]you are dreaming, and no1 believe you. Anyway, 900MHz for an Arm11 is still twice as slow as snapdragon at 800MHz-1GHz. Theres no way to clock the N8 to a modern performance level, you need 2GHz to make it compete with 1GHz snapdragon. Clockspeed isnt everyting, IPC is (instructions per clock), and Arm11 has half the IPC of modern processors. Plus they are lower clocked, so all in all you get an exceptionally slow CPU by todays standard.

                                do u know that after getting big update of 50+features at the end of january the cpu will be clocked to 735 Mhz.
                                Arm 11 are flexible cpu and can be overclock to 1Ghz without any harm thats why nokia has used it in S^3 phones.
                                After getting massive update of S^4 in september the cpu will be clock to 900mhz.
