12mp camera, xenon flash, HDMI out, HD video recording, Dolby dont interest you my friend?

Not when it's potentially one of the last remaining Symbian^3 phones and Symbian^4 is nearby with no explicit update path.

But all-in-all, this is a feature phone that brings a lot to the table. It'll sell millions.

yes all good specs but symbian is not something i would want. where as the n9 will be meego.

I also prefer to have a pullout keyboard.

wont it be eligible for updates?

Nokia has stated that they will be shipping 50 million Symbian^3 devices. That means that E and X series will be getting it next.

That's not the N9. It's more likely to the E7 since the specs are slightly lower than the N8 and similar to the C7 which also runs Symbian^3 http://chinese.engadget.com/2010/07/...-c7-hk-leaked/

yes its a prototype(n9 or c9)....and yes it's symbian....but if you read the report also you will see that it states the n8 is the last symbian.

Re: N8 available for pre-order for $549
 

The report is based on anti-Symbian FUD or pure ignorance if it says it will be the last Symbian phone. What Nokia have said is that the N8 will be the last N-series Symbian^3 device. I would go on what Nokia said over what a blog says. http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/...bian3-devices/

Nokia have also stated that a Symbian^4 N-series device next year is also a strong possibility. http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/...ck-starts-now/
