N8 is a dead meat since only few devices will feature that OS , Symbian ^4 will be the last one not ^3 .
there will be a lot of changes between S^3 and S^4 then future updates will build upon S^4

How do you know it's great? Used it yet?
Right now the 900 stinks and will do for some time to come untill Nokia get the development finalized, so for me i will have them both.

No use looking for a comparison to the N900 because at the moment nothing will touch it but having a second device to play with has got to be a great way of allowing your mind to rest and wait lol. (physiologically speaking).

Anyhow i am not a must have the latest gadget guy but having something that does the job for now has got to be a bonus so for me the N8 is great.... for now.

secondly nokia does not own symbian, symbian foundation is governed by many companies
there's many companies contributing code and maintaining packages.
yes Nokia are biggest contributor but they only get one vote on, same as other members so they can't do what they want, even the S^4 mock up screen shots proposal from Nokia was voted on.
if Symbian gets delayed it wont be Nokia making the decision alone to do it.

But you know the n900 will never better the camera on the n8 no matter what they do software wise unless they offer a mod for the camera itself, shame really because i feel the n900 will somehow get left behind totally very soon.

i will definately replace my n900 if N8 have a physical slideout keyboard. Unfortunately the N8 does not.
so i will keep my N900 until Nokia have a new device with as good as N900 or N8, and with slideout keyboard

Also it would be nice if the N8 had a PRO version with the same specs and a qwerty keyboard!
