I am pretty sure there will be symbian devices, otherwise why would nokia work on symbian 4?

Read the comments under that post. That should give you a better idea about the writer's history.

That article came out June 24 quoting an unverified source.

The quotes I've listed above came on July 2nd "The Nokia N8 will be our only Nseries device on Symbian^3. Of course, we ‘never comment on future products’, but a Symbian^4 Nseries device is a strong possibility. A very strong possibility " from Nokia head of Mobile Solutions Anssi Vanjoki

and July 22nd "Starting with the N8, Nokia aims to ship more than 50 million Symbian^3 devices in the coming years, alongside devices using other versions of the Symbian OS." from Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo and CFO Timo Ihamuotila.

You don't get any higher up than these people. :cool:

so will the N8 die, due to lack of updates/enhancements or will it get an official update to 4?

@ Maluka ...ok...you read what you want to read....i will now give up trying to explain to you about the N-Series not going with symbian after the N8 but rather they are going to go with Meego..

They are of course going with MeeGo too. The N8 and N9 will be the top N-series devices.

What is more important is that Nokia is going with Qt. The Symbian and MeeGo phones will get the same apps and games.
