That said, I'd also love to learn about Symbian development and certainly wouldn't mind the camera on the n8. Having watched some 'Belle beta' videos, I'm not totally blown away by it from a user standpoint, but, compared to the dumbphone I'm using, anything's a vast improvement.

Googling around for people comparing the n8 to anything provides very few useful results, since it takes an n900 owner to know what the benchmark really is! :P
To sum it up, IMO there is nothing to be "blown away" by the N8 other than the camera. But there are things that it does better than the N900. Aside from what was already mentioned by Mikescomputing, out of the box, navigation, doc editing, MMS support, 3G video calling, USB OTG, are a few tricks it has up its sleeve. There are also IMO better versions of some apps in S^3 like Sports Tracker vs ECoach etc...

We all now what a power house the N900 is and that it can do a hell of a lot more things than any S^3 device can ever imagine or that I am capable of doing, not to mention that it is more open. The messaging capabilities, and the fact that it is embeded into the heart of the N900 is a standout.

In the end, it all comes down to what you need in a device and what you can live WITHOUT and not what you can live with. I find myself in a curious situation because there are times I needed the functionality of one over the other, hence why I carry both devices with me all the time (I have a roaming sim from another country on the N900) since december 2010. I guess what I had hopped the N9 would be is a full combination of an N900 + N8 (=N9), all the goods in each device into one, instead of the "compromised" device that Nokia is now calling the N9.

i blame symbian fanatics inside nokia for killing meago in the end
I agree with you 90% here. I believe Symbian fanaticism inside Nokia killed Maemo and Elop killed Meego.

n8 with belle is allright. bit small screen. still s3. i prefer the n9 over both n900 and n8 and feel its a good combo of the two ideas.

I just came across Nokia Maps. Was not aware that they existed for the web. Wouldnt replace google maps but a good alternative.

http://maps.nokia.com

Not got the N9 yet but imagine there is no real difference.

It has WP7 (7.5) so who cares?

It's a n9 thread anyway.

I blame my desire for the magenta n9 turning into desire for the pink n8. Oh, n900, why can't you be pink too?
