Goodbye N900. Hello N8!
 

After many happy months with my trusty N900, I have decided to take the plunge and go for a Nokia N8.

Yes. Back to Symbian! :( But apparently its meant to be quite good this time round.

Why am I abandoning the N900?

Well firstly, its a big chunky! Yes I got used to it now, but its still driving me crazy every now and then. The battery life isnt great either! My Maemo OS has never really been stable with hildon-desktop crashing every few days, which can be an annoyance. Additionally, the camera aint that great either, especially at night!

I still believe that the N900 is by far the best phone on the market today, and nothing even comes close to it at the moment!

I will move over to the N8, but definitely keep my N900 and I will be watching out for Meego 1.1 and also Nitdroid. Plus it will give me an incentive to hack the **** out of my N900! I will install Meego builds, and Nitdroid etc. Should be fun!

more importantly, I read some great things about the N8, and I would like your opinions about it.

At least you've got the idea of Anssi's "fight back" now.

I have been reading a lot of pre-production model reviews, and they have been really quite positive.

I am not a big fan of Symbian, but I thought that they might have made Symbian a lot better in ^3, as they took some Maemo features and implemented those.

So what should I do? Shall I just go for it?

To have better product, you have to solve the root cause. You have to change vendor.
There is no evidience that N9 should be OK. It's the same Nokia, why something should be changed?

hehehe...

actually my problem was that i couldn't decide whether to buy N8 or wait for the N9... now it is solved

But, if it turns out that N9 is disappointing... then i will have a new problem :)
