WTF? I don't get it why all you Samsung fanboys are bragging about the Wave. True, it has good specs, but it's the most boring dumbPhone ever made. It would make more sense to bring the Galaxy S in the discussion. BadaOS is boring, and resource hungry, it even lags using that powerful 1GHz processor, and it runs out of memory leaving you to customize the home screen widgets over and over again if you dare browse the web. Heck, i would even consider buying the iPhone 4 instead of that cheap piece of....

Phones haven't been just phones for ages. Yes "You think I don't know that" YOU are saying. Ok. But ...they are portable computers in main principality, & soon to be Tablet spec.
Very soon newer Symbians & Meegos will be following Meamo & Android which were built exclusivley for tablet computing form factor, higher spec OS that can run on anything small to anything larger in the form factor of computing.
So these OS will allow more variet of hardware technoloy to be incorporated into a smaller device & will excel the capability for smaller devices to have higher specs in a smaller device. Tablet OS will allow larger resolution displays than on Apples Ipad but within a much smaller screen device or larger device.
I don't see any beneficial reason for having so many pixels upto 1280x720 pixels within a screen the size of a 4" or 4.5" display size. This simply isn' needed but does demonstrate the technical breakthrough innovations & limits we can go to within the consumer Electronics devices computer market. These OS's will be probably be part of the cloud computing, or always connected to the web, web based device.
But the OS will be just as fully functional as your Home desktop for instance. This is what Symbian are doing with S^3. Integrating support for more varied g
technologies with inclusion of a HAL for the first time like Windows based home desktop.
There are probably loads of other possibilities which these Tablet OS's will bring in the form of more functioal & capaable OS's in such a small device. But the functions will be obviously limite by manufactuer or operator based on the capabilties of the device, the manufacturers needs, aims for the device.
Times will get exciting. Things like S-LCD, SAMOLED, larger capacity internal storage, 1280x720P (although I said not beneficial - still cool tho!)on 4" or 4.5" smartphone Tablet Computer. Gyroscopes, magnetometres, accelerometers, PICO Projectors. Probably Holograms next. Who know's how capable your phone will be.
I am really looking forward though to the Nokia N8. On the Nokia Site there is mention of capacitive Stylus with Handwriting recognition for Chinese Market. Time ticking away 16 days to go. I hope phone is released on rumoured or official date of 26th.
In this digital age - it's nice for Nokia to start making colouful phones to appeal to wider variety of people - style or fashion concious & usually will attract colourful people showing your imagination, creativity, personality. The N8 with it's perfect fusion of form & function is the best way yet to communicate in the Digital age. What will you do with it?

[deleted post]You are right about one thing... Nokia may still the world's leader, but not in terms of mobiles in general! Nokia USED to be the leader in high-end phones also, but not anymore! Nokia has the largest market share due to their sale of cheap affordable phones. But they've fallen behind in producing state-of-the-art, high-end popular and hot-selling phones such as iphone4, Galaxy S or even Moto's Droid X and HTC's Evo 4G... This phone is the closest they've come so far...

SidewindeR, 10 Aug 2010LED video light is really not a dealbreaker for me... I'd prefer xenon any day over the LED ... moreThere are moments when people need to shoot a video in the dark regardless the quality of the video,and keeping a pocket torch in your pocket all the time is not a smart act, one day or another you will come across a situation that will make you wish if your phone supports LED flash.

i agree that n8 looks good but the main focus is the camera.i have seen some sample photos of n8 and to be honest i was not impressed due to high amount of noise in the pics.lets hope nokia optimize the camera more and really impress us with shiny and vivid pics.

I'd prefer xenon any day over the LED even if it comes with a Luxor ultrabright LED.
LED light always has that yellow tint which doesn't make it feel natural to the eyes as the xenon. If video light is that kind of an issue, you can easily get a cheap pocketable LED torch which will serve the same purpose. If you insist on quality, you won't think about shooting videos in the dark in the first place.

I Just heard that the Nokia N8-01 will look the same as this N8, but it will pack 1GHz Intel processor, 512mb RAM, 32 or 64 GB harddrives, FULL HD 1080P video recording and will be available in two new colours, White and Red. I am not sure if it will have the infamous Symbian ^3, but I am hoping the N8-01 will be the "cheapest" cell-phone to feature MeeGo. Thumbs crossed!It will come out beggining of next year, after the first MeeGo device is launched. Oh, and there will be a VERY expensive GOLD edition(Plated in either rose,white or yellow gold) and possibly a diamond edition. This will happen most probably because the next "8800" device is still under Heavy development as it will not only be expensive for its materials, but also because of its technology(Kept a secret for now)that is being still being tested. The N8-01 will be priced at a premium for about $700+-. My sources are reliable and I am not lieing or joking.
