Let me tell you why I'm against Nokia these days.
Nokia have lost their way in the smart phone business and are unable to produce a phone that is equal to or better than the top Android phones today. The closest thing they've got is the N9, but they will not be supporting the N9 so it's effectively dead on arrival.
Also, as previously mentioned, they will discontinue support for Symbian devices by 2016 and the updates for existing Symbian devices are pathetic.
Take Anna for example. That was supposed to arrive in the first quarter of 2011 as P.R. 2.0, but it got shelved and renamed as Anna then scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2011. So, they were working on the update from late 2011 and released it in August (for most of the world) but they still haven't fixed certain issues that have plagued the N8 since launch.
The browser is still rubbish, T9 input still doesn't learn certain words, you're still limited to three home screens and cannot add individual shortcuts to the home screen. They have to be added as a block of four.
As I've said before, developer support has dropped and it won't be long before it stops altogether.
Enjoy your N8 for as long as you can but don't expect anything good from Nokia or third party developers in the future.
All the best.

I am a user of N8 & first of all, "keep N8-ing" is NOT a silly slogan, but was introduced by me as it came from my heart when I first started to use it.
Second, I don't know, why do you use Windows OS? That is more than few more decased older than Symbian. Maybe you don't, as I have noticed lack in your judgement. But 90% people around the world uses Windows OS. That is, because with time, the maturity becomes higher. Similarly, Nokia introduced Symbian in early 80's, true, but through time it became more mature than ANY OS available at present. Remember, Symbian was the first OS for mobile to introduce the word multitasking in phones. Symbian defined the word smart-phone in the dictionary. I can go on and on. Maybe at that time you even didn't see a smart-phone when I used one. You can't change the fact that for an OS, older means maturity, not outdated. I still am in love with Symbian, it IS the most customisable OS available (silver medal goes to MeeGo). What I miss is that recently Nokia is NOT working on Symbian anymore as they are planning on Windows phones. That is where Symbian is getting neglected & not getting enough tests & crashing on the way of use. Believe me, I started using Symbian Since 6600 & those were the golden phones. Even now, the selling record of 6600 was broken ONLY by N70, which, my friend, is also a Symbian phone. Only iPhone4 could break that record because they could create a hype, not because the OS itself is superior to Symbian.
Some of us try to learn, others keep on shouting. One other thing, if you hate Symbian THIS MUCH, who the hell asked you to visit this page? If you can't give some constructive opinion (good or bad, but constructive, not hitting someone's feelings, like saying: silly slogan), stop writing here. Hope you are old enough to learn. I'll see that in your reply. Please, grow up.
Take care.

People who uses smart phones are bother about its features and most of them are bother about its update. Even apple didnt support ota update since these days. And how people wil knw update is available until dey chek web, and to update it must be connected wid pc.
Camera udate only suportd wid anna not wid symbian^3. Dat y i am said its major. Other mobile manufacturers cnt make higher dan 8mp bt nokia can. They did it. Hey it is fast going world and megapixel cameras are esential in smart phones and dnt stick on cheap 8mps. Even iphone is upgraded its camera from 5mp to 8mp.
I m n8 fan. I used both n8 and iphone(not mine). I knw the limitations on iphone lyk restrictions on blututh, only micro sim suport, no flash suport in browser etc. But its os is cool. All other features are best in n8, dat y i luv it.
U said dat ur nt apple fan. And i dnt knw y u against nokia even u knw d limitations on iphone.

Like I said, stick with your N8 if it's makes you happy. Fanboys are hard to reason with.
If you really think Anna was a major improvement then you truly are a Fanboy. By the way, technically you have to install a Beta app to get CAF in video recording so that didn't come with Anna as promised. Many people are actually unaware of the camera update from Betalabs, and wouldn't bother with Beta software anyway.
I wish people would stop going on about the N8's camera. I've taken some very good shots with mine but so what. It's camera on a phone and will never compete with a dedicated SLR. In fact, the camera is mostly a gimmick just to sell the phone. It's one of the main reasons why most people got an N8 in the first place.
Also, ask yourself why no other mobile manufacturer has bothered to try and outdo the N8's camera. I'll tell you why. They just don't care because 8 MP's on a mobile phone camera or already more than enough and 12 MP's is pointless.

At what point in my original response t... morehey r u talking about symbian s60? But im not. I m talking abt symbian anna. U didnt knw 1 thing dat symbian s60, s60 v2, s60v3 and finaly s60 v5 are old i agree wid u. Even older versions of ios are old bt ios5 is new same way symbian anna is brand new. It is major update because it not only brings improvd ui but also provids some grt software update for its camera as it got 30fps at continuous auto focus in video camera. Symbian is not outdated, as u said nokia wil suport symbian til 2016. Its true and nokias suport 4 symbian is clear.
My frnd, metal is betar dan glas for protection. Even iphone 4s cnt beat n8 in its features lyk 12mp camera, hdmi, usb on d go, fm transmtr, blututh, pc connectivity, hot swapble memry crd slot, dolby digital via hdmi and aftrel all it is a nokia, world leader in mobile phone manufacturing.

At what point in my original response to you did I praise the iPhone? That's right I didn't, because I can't stand Apple or the iPhone.
Anyway, a few facts for you. The iPhone 4 is made of plastic with a layer of glass.
Symbian is definitely old. It's been around since the 1980's for crying out loud, and still Nokia can't get it working right. That's why Nokia have decided to pull the plug on Symbian and cease all development and support by 2016.
Don't talk to me about Anna being a major update, because it isn't. At best it's a UI change with some iPhonesque icons. Belle won't be much better either. That is just an Android wannabe. But the fact remains, third party developers have given up on Symbian so no amount of OS updates will make Symbian a serious contender in the smart phone market.
So, by all means keep "N8'ing" (silly slogan) while the rest of the world moves on leaving Symbian behind.
All the best.

Are u nt in dis world. We got a major symbian anna update and we r waiting 4 symbian belle. Iphon is not suitable for majority. Only suits 4 minors who price dat phone like u. Aplle cnt beat nokia in its hardware as n8 got a anodised aluminium casing but iphon is made up of plastic. Dat y i m said its a plastic toy. N8 is much betr than iphone4. Keep n8ing.

I checked it out and it's the same old tired Fanboism. I'm pretty fed up with the "My phones better than your phone" nonsense.
I noticed that article didn't make any mention of the N8's stuttering old OS being obsolete and quickly becoming unsupported by third party developers.
Cheers
