Even N900 Maemo UI is preferable over Symbian^3.. |

Let's hope that the next MeeGo phone is as upfront about their upgrade path to the non-savvy folks as this announcement seems to be. I honestly only see good things that can happen from this. |
Re: Shocker! Nokia will update N8 to Symbian ^4 and other news
Wow, this is great news for N8 and probably E7 too. Of course there will not be an "upgrade to meego" on n8, that would be silly. doesn't mean there couldn't be a hacked meego installed there. However Symbian 4 should be a very different beast from symbian 3, and this isvery very good news for Nokia. As seen by the stock market reaction :)

I'm happy Nokia has so many users that are in love with Symbian; however, it comes as a surprise to me. I've used Symbian for roughly 2 years (both S60v3 and v5). Here's my assessment: It's slow. Why it sometimes take MINUTES to delete a wireless access point is beyond me. Anyway, if people like waiting, then give them more of it! |

Good to see some love returning to Symbian - a great OS albeit with a clunky and outdated UI.
Just try a Symbian60 with SPB MobileShell to see what Symbian^1 can be: smooth, engaging and a joy to use. All on a tiny, power-efficient processor for great battery life. Feels very contemporary and funky (whatever that means). Now, can I upgrade my standby phone X6's Symbian^1 to Symbian^3 - or is that taking Nokia's new upgrade path statement too far..? |

1. X6 uses ARM11 but its much slower than N8's ARM + afaik it doesn't have dedicated GPU 2. Also Symbian ^1 and ^3 are really different from each other no wonder ^2 was released only internally |

so your x6 would have to get s^3 first before it could get into the update train.... |
