now try running IOS on 200mhz ,

he meant, that IOS is slower if ran on pair with symbian at the same processor clock speed... i dunno if symbian will defiantly beat Ios if both were 1ghz, i guess it will(but i have a feel its not optimized to run at such speeds :D :D)

    However, Symbian isnt slow either. There's more than just black and white - fastest and slow.

    I don't think that Symbian^3 loses much in speed to iPhone 4 if we take the transitions effects away from iPhone, so that you dont get the illusion of speed. iPhone is probably still abit faster, but not all that much.

    I'm very happy with the speed of the N8.

          http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2010/10/android-caught-in-crossfire-of-patents.html

          So, not only is the device awesome, you can also be sure the OS will be around in 6 to 12 months, with more and more apps, while there is a very real chance Android will need to disappear.

            I'm sure with the Symbian devices rolling out finally (N8, C6-01, C7, E7), we're gonna see alot more apps cos they can be written in Qt which the S^4 and Meego will support as well.

Generally it take too long to drop down first bar but afterward, it drops quicker. My old 5800 doesn't drops single a bar for whole day normal to heavy use once the battery is fully charged and next day, it drains the battery almost.

                The Handheld Blog, Oct 4:Shootout: Nokia N8 v Canon 550D DSLR:

                You know what, forget the iPhone. Lets put the N8 up against some serious firepower, a DSLR which in this case is a 18 Megapixel Canon 550D, fitted with the 18-55mm kit lens. You've seen unedited pictures and video that Iain and I took with the N8 around Edinburgh. However I was also carrying my Canon 550D along and we decided to put the N8 to test and see how it fares against a full blown DSLR, nevermind those pocket point and shoot cameras. The results may surprise.

                  "Ive been using it continuous 5 hours of
                  photo shooting, social networking and video recording. Not even a single battery drop down."

                  And I thought Bah ! Are you friggin kidding me ? You sure you didn't have the charger plugged in all that while ? :\

Nokia have 3 factories in China which produces phones in huge scale (more than 60% Nokias are made in China). The quality is still same as each piece goes from QA.
