Symbian guru shut down. This is what the editors had to say by the end:
Ricky:
•"I've tried to use all of Nokia's various products and services to the best of my ability, and I just can't do it anymore."
•"I can't continue to support a manufacturer who puts out such craptastic 'flagships' as the N97, and who expects me to use services that even most of Nokia's own employees don't use."
•"After this experience with the Nokia N97, there's simply no way I trust them to not screw up with the N8 – not enough for me to fork over $500 of my own money, at least."
•"Like Android, Symbian Foundation prides itself on being open and free – loudly and oftentimes obnoxiously boasting about how its source code is free for all – despite no one really caring about this, at least in my circle."
•"Both Symbian and Nokia are dying brands in the U.S., if not already dead, and I'm sick and tired of banging the gong alone."
•"Of course I'll still keep my eye on Nokia. If they can put out 2 flagship devices in a row that don't completely suck, I may even give them another chance. I won't hold my breath."
•"To Nokia, you guys are losing. Hard. Wake the hell up. Doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results is the definition of insanity."
•"I sincerely hope that the upper brass at Nokia starts listening to the folks who are putting in extra time and effort – these folks know what's going on, and like I did originally, simply want to see Nokia succeed."
Rita:
•"I swear I could get a VISA, buy an airplane ticket, travel to Texas and talk to Ricky in person before Nokia Messaging for IM loads and opens a conversation with him on my N97 Mini."
•"But honestly, how can you blame outside developers when Nokia themselves can't seem to pull through a decent application?"
•"What good does it do me, as a user, if you have 40 or 50 or 60 % marketshare when you fail to gain any developer traction?"
•"Where are the games that make me pop my eyes in awe? The N8 will get Angry Birds. Big whoop. It took me all of 2 days to finish all levels of Angry Birds on my iPod Touch and you know what? When I was done, I moved on to the next game. Could I say the same about the N8?"
•"I can't evangelize a platform when I'm no longer 100% convinced myself: that would be hypocrisy and I'm not a hypocrite."
•" It had to be done and although it was hard at first, I've now come to terms with the decision."

AMANITA, 02 Jul 2010Itz upto them what they think ! Nokia is going to launch me... moreMy first Smart Phone was from Nokia and guess what it was Symbian..
May be in 2004 and it was 3230 and I loved that very much.. In 2004 I told you that Symbian is going to dominate and it happened.. In 2004 what my Nokia 3230 could do iPhone 4 can't do that even in 2010..
I preordered my 5800XM and stood in queue for several hours for getting that.. And it was an utter disappointment for me.. And then came N97 and it is a great fail..
Im not a hypocrate and I can't suggest anyone that I don't believe..
Symbian is really dead now, no matter what you say.. Android and Bada is the future..
What I saw in Samsung's year planning of supporting Bada, im completely speechless.. If they succeed half of their plan then Bada will certainly eat all OS.. And as you all know, Wave is a success, it is selling twice faster than Samsung thought..
And I have seen the backbone of Bada and it has every potentiality to succeed..
Im not a fanboy of any but Bada really rocks..

It's fun to read all "opinions" on the N8.
I am amazed how a phone, not yet availible, can stir up peoples minds like that. It seems we're now in times when a minoe war can start just over brandissues. Strange times to me.
What about the N8 then?
Well to me it looks good and contains what i need, for example free GPS-navigation besides webbrowsing, sms and ordinary phonecalls. And the aluminium seems to promise some durability in the long run.
I've used a lot of other brands and really like the looks of that symbian OS.
So let's wait for the phone to hit the market and then comment on it. Nobody will have any use of stupid comments and nobody needs another war, especially over cellphones...Make Calls not war!
