The more you spread Symbian hate, the less chance there is of developers adopting Qt or porting their apps over from other platforms. You're really helping the "community" there.
I would view it the other way:

The more Symbian "reality" (replace this with the word "hate" if you're a fanboy) that is spread increases the chance Nokia put more and more resources/focus on Meego.

I mean, how much longer can you drive a old car before admitting you need to buy a new one. You can polish, repair, repaint all you want but eventually you need a new car built with 2010 specs and technology. It may have served you well 10 years ago, but times have changed...

The sooner Nokia dump Symbian for high-end the sooner the company can turn around.. In my opinion, they wasted precious r&d resources/time on n8,e7 when they could used them for N9

Ah.. Do not post information that ruins people carefully made point and agenda. Lets just say that you didnīt say that :P

And if they made they didnīt do it as I wanted :D They blew it. Right? :)

coming from an N90 over the N95 8GB to the N900, I think I will never buy an Symbian phone again. The jump in OS's from symbian to maemo feels like the jump from Win 95 to Win Xp or Win 7.

Even if I'am not that linux guru and the N900 is my first linux device and experience I like to learn always new things and over the last few month I got used to the command line interface. I like the ability to change nearly everything I want and to run programms where most other smartphones / IT's would show me the middle finger.

I'am excited about what the new generation of phones will be able to when my vf contract ends in 1 1/4 year.

One major feature not mentioned on here ,I dont think, is the fact Symbian v3 supports USB OTG straight out of the box which is cool I suppose.

Symbian 3 sucks just as much as Symbian60 v5. The video is a testament to that.

The more Nokia pushes Symbian, the more damage they do to their Qt adoption rate. Hopefully the guy from Microsoft will have more brains than his predecessor and realize that.

This article sums up Nokia nicely. Nokia can come back strong with Meego.. firing every employee who thinks Symbian is "currently" competitive with iOs, Android, Palm would be a great start too... They are dead weight dragging a great company down... Nokia needs to look forward

Seems N8 has been delayed a few weeks for some final fixes. Knowing Nokia it will still get released with loads of bugs. They can never seem to release a device on time and when it is released late it is still buggy. Will not be suprised if they use early adaptors as guinea pigs once more.

funny, I don't have those kind of problems shown in the video with my N8... but then again, I actually use my phone as a phone but also for development, and not just spastically clicking randomly like someone too cranked up on caffeine and in a hurry.

I would recommend the N8 to anyone. In fact, I plan on getting one for my wife.
