Wow!! This is really a good news.

However, I am more excited to wait for the 2011 MeeGo based device announcement.
I want N9 = N8 (with dual-core OMAP4440) + Clear Black Display + Hardware Keyboard + Should be able to run both MeeGo and Symbian!

It is great to see that nokia is focusing on QT but where is nokia saying N8 will get symbian 4??

Another thing to notice is what will happen to meegotuch UI that is top of QT is this also abandoned like orbit ui??

still alot of confusing about what is happening at nokia.

I think Nokia said that there won't be a direct Symbian^4 sort of thing. The current Symbian^3 will slowly be evolving which ideally would be Symbian^4. So, basically the devices currently on market with Symbian^3 are on the update path for years to come and which is good news.

At last, Nokia has eventually heard it's users. I loved Symbian on my N95 I detested it on my N97 and it's only slightly better on my wife's X6. I have yet to have my paws on an N8 but I will. I bought an N900 on a whim, it was Nokia's last throw of the dice having hacked and slashed at closed source S60 v3 & V5 the N900 won me over, I adore what can be done with it, am amazed what you guys and gals do with it. I can only hope it will run a version of Meego with a GUI that works.

This is the best news Nokia have brought out since the announcement of the N95. Since then they have rested on their laurels. The N900 being an experiment as it were. It is not too little too late, it's just late.

yes sounds more like and the fact that n900 also has latest QT maybe stops some of the whinners here about nokia not supports n900 cause above is infact also related to n900 future :D

Nonsense. Its predecessor, Epoc32, was for devices with touchscreens. The early reference designs for Symbian devices included ones with touchscreens.

That should be despite Nokia's "help" - Nokia themselves toyed around with a touchscreen UI for Symbian, but eventually dropped it and concentrated solely on keyboard UI (S60).

Wasn't that touch UI for Symbian called Hildon, later ported to GTK+ and used in the 770 Internet Tablet and rest of Maemo devices?

UIQ has been used by SonyEricsson on the P800 already in 2002 and since on the P-series. UIQ is a touch screen interface on Symbian. Back in those days it was either SonyEriccson, Motorola or Palm that could offer touch screen. Both SonyEricsson and Motorola used Symbian with UIQ. The Motorola phones were way ahead of its time equipped with aGPS already in 2003/2004.

I still got my P1i, the pinnacle of the P-series (some would say) :D

Sadly UIQ simply could not renew themselves due to a number of reasons, and went bankrupt in 2008.
