Tom-Helge, 30 May 2010This is something we can discuss :-).
To be quite honest. I'm only here to make sure that y... morei totally agree with u.
Nokia Should Make Device that can be upgrade to upgraded OS. Symbian^3 to Symbian^4. Like some android 1.6 device can be upgrade to android 2.2.
Hope nokia N8 can be upgrade to Symbian^4 officially or else its a waste. if N8 cant be upgrade to symbian^4 we should wait for symbian^4 or meego.
I also think nokia should support battery upgrade.
they should upgrade battery for device that have li-ion to li-po, or upgrade battery to higher capacity if certain device have bad battery consumption.

This is something i'm trying to find about any phones before i buy a phone.
The most important thing for me is that the phone have a very long support time and that the phones have awesome hardware specs so they can last for years with many many big major updates / releases of the OS it runs.

To be quite honest. I'm only here to make sure that you know what you will buy if you buy the Nokia N8. And i have no problems with that.
I don't really care if you buy a Nokia N8, because the thing i really care about is that you rather buy a Nokia N8 instead of the POS that is called iPhone.
Never ever buy that jail phone.
That's all.
Nokia N8 will be good for about 1 year after it's released. So it's still going to be a good phone for a while.
It's only that Nokia is known for just abandon their phones after 1 year, even phones like Nokia N8. And in my eyes, that's not a good way to sell expensive and good phones like Nokia N8.
Nokia N8 would have been a really nice potential for the future if Nokia could make the phones much better instead of keeping the cost lowest possible and then put in outdated hardware specs to let peoples get more cheaper phones. Instead they should have done the same thing as Sony Ericsson for example. Have some expensive phones, but you gets awesome support and lifetime support for the premium phones you buy from them, like XPERIA X10.
Now imagine if Symbian ^4 would be really really awesome. And then Symbian ^4 gets released 7-8 months after Nokia N8 was released for example. What will that mean?, it will mean that you will sit on the Nokia N8 that will be forgotten and left to be outdated because Nokia N8 can't use Symbian ^4, so Nokia can release it's next expensive phone that will be the same over again.
See where this is going?.
The only thing that makes me not buy Nokia phones is the way Nokia releases phones and then later one time just adandon the phone because they are making a new phone that is an updated version of the Nokia N8 for example.
If Nokia could have given us lifetime support or at least 3-4 years with support to their phones and if they could have made phones with much better hardware specs so the phone is good for the future, then Nokia would be a good choice for me.
Now i hope you can see what i'm talking about.

Tom, honestly now, are you on a mission or something? The X10 is a nice phone, no question about it...I mean, for THAT price range I expect nothing less. And how you presented it here is really fascinating, really super...one would even think you were paid to do it and if not, well you better go knocking on SE doors and demand a damn check! :) You are doing a fine job advertising it here, oh, I meant presenting it and comparing with an unfinished product.
You are on a mission to save all of us from making a BIG mistake, are you not? The mistake of buying the N8. It's not future proof you said, the poor old CPU will not handle the load you said, Nokia will abandon it in less than a year, Symbian is waaaay last Friday and does not cut it by today's standards,we all categorically suck an so on and so forth. I honestly didn't notice you before cuz your kind are really not that hard to ignore...I know BS when I see it. What I did notice is that the place where I occasionally stop by to see if someone posted some new info about the N8 is not about the N8 anymore...it's about some philanthropist named Tom and his uber gizmo from Sony. I don't care if you love your mother or not, I really don't and from the looks of it nobody else here cares either. Apparently you fail to realize that by engaging yourself in the hype that is the N8 you just make the phone that much 'stronger' and in the end end up supporting Nokia by advertising the damn thing. Look at any Apple product and you will notice the same phenomenon, millions of people who just can't understand who or why would buy the fruity products and who cant resist the urge to 'help' those people see the error of their ways and go to great lengths explaining, in great technical detail, in numerous forums/posts/replies the shortcomings of Apples trendy trash products. And here you are, giving us the once over how the N8 will fail big time, for you at least(and yes, thousands of others stand beside you)....and I just cant comprehend as to WHY do you care man? Sit back, relax, take your dick in one hand, X10 in the other and take a picture when you are done. Honestly now, that would be a MUCH better use of your short time on this earth. Plus, go watch some Hicks/Carlin stand up combo to make the time passing by a little less obvious. :) The rest of us will pass judgment on the N8 when it hits the shelves and is properly reviewed.
PS - This phone is not meant to be the next N95, the hype and momentum behind this phone lies in the 'what you get/how much you pay for it' ratio and thats why people just cant shut up about it. Makes a whole lot of sense to pay people to spread FUD about a product that is going to force a lot of manufactures to rethink those price cuts. (we all saw the 50% cut from the fruit company, didn't we:) )

Since you already have symbian and win, Android will be new to you.
I have the n97 and x10. My next phone will be neither symbian or android, I am waiting for windows7.
Although the n8 is a great device, since I have the n97, I want something new to try.

Atm i don't find anything to talk about there.

Currently th... moreThat's a good question to be honest. I have no idea on what would be the best phone for you in that situation.
But if you cares alot about the battery time between the N8 and XPERIA X10, then X10 will win there.
Ofc now, there are bugs in Android 1.6 that drains the battery pretty fast if you use some specific settings on the X10.
But that will get fixed pretty soon. Most likely in some few weeks.
I know one XPERIA X10 user that managed to use his X10 for almost 180 hours before the battery was empty.
He managed that since he used the automatic setting on the brightness and because he didn't install many apps that might be running in the backgroud that might use more battery.
So that's pretty nice even with bugs on the battery usage.

Currently the WinMos X1 and Symbian E63 are driving my pockets.
Now I need to replace one of them.
If I buy X10, I would stop using X1 as 2 devices from SE is against my pocket policy.
If I buy N8, I have to drop E63 as 2 Nokia/2 symbians would be foolish.
I need best of both worlds. I am confused… Helpppppppp Me.

But then I might buy N8 as well which I don't want to.
I know I am struggling between X10 and N8 but I don't want to end up buying both and hence I would wait for N8.
I would read official reviews of N8 and then decide which one to go for. Till then discussion continues.

But when it's about the future it wont live for long. It's not powerfull enough to run Symbian ^4.
Nokia N8 is made for Symbian ^3 only. And Symbian ^3 wont live for long since Symbian ^4 is under development already. And will soon be out.
And because Symbian ^3 is the only confirmed OS it will run, then Nokia N8 isn't the best phone to buy if you want to have a phone with lots of support and lots of updates in the future.
Like me, i payed 530 euro for my Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10. Not cheap, but you'll get what you pay for. You get a really nice phone with amazing hardware specs and you'll get lifetime support on your XPERIA X10 to. And by that, the XPERIA X10 will live for a loooooooong long time.
Nothing beats that to be quite honest.
That alone is a BIG BIG factor on what mobile phone i will buy.

And alot of peoples just want simple Nokia phones.
When it's about really advanced smart phones today, then very few is going for Nokia phones today.
The thing that Nokia sells most phones have nothing to do what brand that sells the best quality and advanced mobile phones today.
It's like saying that Toyota (car brand) here in Norway are selling most cars over other car brands here, like they do now. But that doesn't mean most of their cars are the best quality and spec'ed cars with lots of features and that in Norway.
This is just an example on why your points on that are invalid.
