Nokia partnered with Microsoft to change their OS, because Symbian is a Pre-historic OS, and phones with symbian OS were showered with so many faults and complaints. Do you think Nokia would replace Symbian if this is the best OS?

        Symbian is the most advance software in the market. Not even iOS and Android can beat it.

        For example, Everybody is so impressed when the Motorola Xoom Tablet which is running Android Honeycomb can do scrolling within the widgets. Oh please!! Symbian 3 can already do scrolling within the widget for example favourite contacts etc and its on a symbian phone software.

        Even when iOS and Android first came they do not have copy & Paste functionality, but Symbian phone can already do copy & Paste years ago.

        This proves that Symbian/ Nokia has the best technology except they have to deliver it in an eye candied way. Meaning better UI.

              From Wikipedia
              the OLED material used to produce blue light degrades significantly more rapidly than the materials that produce other colors, blue light output will decrease relative to the other colors of light. This differential color output change will change the color balance of the display and is much more noticeable than a decrease in overall luminance. This can be partially avoided by adjusting colour balance but this may require advanced control circuits and interaction with the user, which is unacceptable for some users. In order to delay the problem, manufacturers bias the colour balance towards blue so that the display initially has an artificially blue tint, leading to complaints of artificial-looking, over-saturated colors.

              Maybe this is the reason behind purple Tint

                Are you working in Sumsung as a sales who make a deal with Nokia? or you are working in Nokia at production of N8? if no how can you know the second bath differ then the first bath?
                If you look all the GSMArena user opinion for N8 that mention that this problem had accure from the first bath.
                I think ( again I think) its occure after they downloaded and install some application/theme but they do not know which application/theme couse purple display.

Samsung manufactures the display and the driver chip and sells the whole assembly together. In the first batch Nokia bought the whole package (screen+driver chip) from samsung and those were defect free displays. In the second batch, in order to cut the cose, nokia decided to buy only the screen from samsung and used Nokia's own custom designed driver chip. thats thy they are purple.

And lets admit, Nokia is on top because the have the most number of sales, henceforth, they may have lots of viewers voting for 10,10,10, but isn't it funny that after all their numerous sales, the Performance is only 8.4 and still going down? The users are already frustrated with Nokia. For the past several years, their products remained the same. Faulty and full of complaints. If you check one by one the units of nokia, you will hardly find Performance of at least 8.0, usually they are below 8.0 and thats just below average. Nokia is no.1 in sales but not in Performance. Try to look for yourself, check their units. And now N8 is also defective, haven't Nokia learned? They keep on destroying the trust the users gave them.

                                      UI is the most important element of a touchscreen OS. UI is not only about the graphical user interface but alongside it also comes UX or user experience. Symbian^3 is outdated because it uses the very same UI as found on the old S60 3rd edition phones. It is the only touchscreen smartphone OS right now that still uses 'softkeys' to perform most functions. Thus, the user experience also lags behind the other OSes. N8 is a fantastic device hardware-wise, save for those already known hardware defects. But its OS sucks and cripples the overall user experience. Yes, you've got tons of features but it's so boring to use. And it's also harder to build programs in native Symbian that's why Nokia decided to bring Qt to the picture. Symbian is outdated, really really outdated, not to mention that it's only a very lightweight OS programmed in basic C++. It shouldn't be the OS of choice of the so-called "mobile/multimedia computers." N8 would've been a far better device if it runs Android.
