Re: Who's considering the N8
 
3 reasons I won't consider N8

1) Lack of Physical Keyboard
2) After getting my hands on Advanced Maemo, I will never turn back to Symbian
3) As mentioned in the one of the previous thread, its look sux, as if someone placed n iPhone inside a case

There is a huge market for low-end phones, the only problem with it, is that it is so hard to make a profit from it, but I'm pretty sure that all the people living in countries like India and China, etc would want to have the choice to be able to buy an affordable phone rather then be forced to use all their money on a smart phone.
I agree with that. I just tried to explain the reasons why I and many others have abandoned Symbian.

Ah fair point, my apologies if I sounded combative!

Well, Nokia insists on using Symbian in every single phone they make except the N900, from the very high end to the lowest end. So it's fair game to compare it to anything out there, as long as the devices are in the same class (e.g. N8 vs iPhone4). You know the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none"?

I am sure it was said before, but Nokia should have kept Symbian for the low end phones and the non-touch screen phones like the E73. For high end and touch screen phones they should have gone exclusively with Maemo/Meego.

Nokia have stated that the N8 is the last of the N series with Symbian... Lets wait and see if that is the case :rolleyes:

I couldn't have seen Maemo as a replacement for the Nokia smart phone during the N97 fiasco. Personally I think Nokia basically didn't have anything that could fulfil the "smart phone" role until now.

To answer the original question: yes.

In fact, I have one right here (for work), and I think it's a nice phone. Nice feel in the hand. The camera takes great photos. Maps and navigation are good. I think it's the best s60 so far.

Did I mention it comes with Qt?

I went for galaxy s because N8 release was taking so long. Camera on N8 looks amazing, but OS wise loving Android.

My hope is that the Nokia's Harmattan-MeeGo phone will offer me both by the end of this year.
