drV, 08 Jun 2010iPhone 4 with iOS4 is way way ahead of N8.... I guess competition is over before the start... ... morePlease do us the honor of comparing them and explain to us how the competition is over before it was started. We have had many discussion on the matter in this forum and certainly do not think so. I you don't then your comment and you are invalid mate.

SYMBIAN^3
S^3 Features
Nicro kernel can run on very low computation load application processors
meaning that you can extend battery life for extensive periods time with active use meaning that you can multitask actively in OS & on your mobile. Theres a hardware abstraction Layers. Some of the first bits are elements of the hardware abstraction layer in their which will provide us a much larger range of technologies by which people can create mobile products & run the OS on platform. The cute core libraries are in their ofr the first time. So this will be a key milestone on the way to S4 & 5, & other releases because it will ebable to leverage cute to go in & rewrite the applications. It will anable developers to do some incredible things with the platform. Again it's a very feature rich release for Symbian.
What consumers are looking for?
We are making it a lot easier to navigate around the system or to use your device or product. So what we've done as an example as a lot of work our members companies have done is work to reduce the number of inputs that you have to do for basic tasks or common tasks. So it'll be much eaiers to send a mail, much easier to go online, much easier to stay connected with multiple applications & so forth with very few inputs into the system. Theres also some elegance in their. Some nice visual design features, transparencies & transition effects that are good. Things like navigating images & listening to music & so on all have minor improvements in them just really ehance the overall experience with the symbian products.
How does symbian^3 measure up against the competing platforms?
Well I will say with complete BIAS that it doesn't measure up, it surpasses in so many ways what else is available out there. You know these grass roots efforts like the android effort are interesting. We'll see overtime if they can develope the type of feature set & the mature code line in the same way that symbian has been mature over the years. When you compare to things like Iphone, again the visual design cues the ability to navigate, the broad application support that's integrated without requiring you to go buy a bunch of applications, just to use your mobile. These things again will really help Symbian to stand above the competition out there.

why use symbian again??? they have clearly demonstrated they dont know how to use it. They all go faulty within weeks they are released N95, N958GB,N96, N97 and N97mini have all been disasters.
android and windows mobile seems to be the way forward.Or even the os they used on n900 witch was based on linux.

PERFECT PHONE.
Great in features and hopefully half the price of Iphone 4. This in combination is the key of success of NOKIA.
I hope N8 will spam out more siblings with slightly varied function like the 5800 spamming ,coz not all of us can afford high ended.. I looking foward for siblings of N8 with mid end pricing... Thanks NOKIA for N82 btw!!!

Have u try it yourself?
There were people said that it is impossible to put a more than 3 megapixel camera in a phone some years ago.
But now, we see a 12 megapixel camera in a tiny little phone.
The same can goes to battery too.
Test it before u make the statement or else please add a "i think..." before you wrote anything else.

It is weird.. I notice that my "code" is keep on changing whenever i login and logoff my internet connection. Usually the "code" will not change.
Then i cannot vote just now. The reason is i voted before. But this is the first time i am trying to vote today. 10 10 10 of course.
Is it possible that someone is utilizing some weird tools to multi vote using others IP?
Btw Nokia N8 Rocks!

I don't what new types of 3D UI transitional effects & gestures the new iphone gets besides the coverflow, sweeps, dynamic tranforms, pinch to zoom, kinetic scrolling etc...other dynamic animated content such as Live wallpapers, what I do know is that S^3 will support this & the N8's hardware & GPU can pull all these transitional 3D effects off. So apple & Android beware of S^3.

[deleted post]Here are all the features which the iphone 4 misses.
1. Free maps, google, free nav, free voice guides.
2. OLED screen, better contrast, blacks whites result in wider range of colours & definition.
3. Display 20% lower power consumption, + lower res, pixel count helps.
3. Bluetooth 3.0 + HS with increased power state ability to switch itself completely off automatically & on when needed. No switch on or off required.
4. 12mp, quality ccd image sensor with advance filter, good lens, good aperture depth of field, wide focal length.
5. Transmitter radio & receiver wheres theres no 3g coverage, save cost of internet package plans.
6. HSDPA 10.2 Mbps when 3G networks increases transmission data rate bandwith for higher performance online media content.
7. Multi touch input options on capacitive touchscreen such as point touch stylus, handwriting, finger touh, plectrum etc... More sensitive...
8. USB OTG. Use phone as host to send/recieve music, video, data. Connect to any portable thumb, hdd drives, phones, mp3 players etc...
