Engadget are everything what's wrong with net they are so biased against anything not US they see fit to write what they want without caring about facts and they form part of the Steve Jobs brigade. now lets get back on topic

First, I really have no time to go around looking for all the subtle (and not too subtle) jabs they have thrown at Nokia, but they have been there, and very clearly in the open.

Second, everyone can have their views, but there is this little important thing called criteria and objectivity. Which many writers of Engadget (and other blogs), clearly don't have, period. One of them said that Eldar's review was "thorough"! Instead of trying to understand why a company (let's say Nokia in this case) does this or that, explain it, and let readers take their own choices, they go this way: Pretty UI + Shiny = Amazing review! A gadget being shiny doesn't guarantee success (Palm Pre?). Many other factors do.

In a more general sense, it is something that seems to have taken over many tech blogs, form over function and lack of analysis. Which is really sad for someone looking for informed opinions.

Edit: I bet... (and I actually had this idea, but didn't have time to do it...) that if someone were to make a fake leak of the new iPhone OS 4 features, but instead put Symbian^3 features on it, all blogs would explode in orgasm. Something like the Mojave test that Microsoft did.

Do you not hate when you open a thread at just the wrong time? Halfway through a debate which sounds interesting but then again it looks like a long read to catch up....

A little off topic I know.

This is the N8x, AKA, the top camera phone. A keyboard would probably come with the N9x (if they release a Symbian^3 edition), or the E7x (of which there was already a picture leaked).

Depending on the time frame, there is a chance there won't be a Symbian^3 N9x; either they could wait for Symbian^4, or reserve the N9x for MeeGo.

Pure speculation btw.

I belive that the GPU is made by Braodcomm as www.Mobil.se is claiming to be:

here is some information of Broadcomm GPU:

Apparently, the N8 has quite an impressive image sensor. I guess this explains the fantastic images we saw.

I still do not like the design of the phone. Looks way too much like the Sidekick LX (tapered shape)
