Hmm...yep N8 browser looks quite laggy, esp in flash infested sites.
Java already been supported out of the box for N8. Hence no worries
OTOH, Opera Mobile was also confirmed to be working in some reviews. The only thing lacking is the multitouch gestures (pinch to zoom etc)

No. In fact the tablet above was just the Intel reference model of Meego tablet.
And Nokia Meego smartphone will be on N Series, not S series. This was confirmed by Nokia themselves

For those who cared, it was said that the web browser of Symbian^3 will be separated from the main OS itself, a la Ovi Maps, which should allow for more frequent updates to the browser themself. And the browser that currently on N8, Browser 7.2 ( The same as Nokia N97 mini etc.) will be upgraded to Browser 8.0, possibly being based on QTWebkit, later this year. Hence, we should see much improvement on the N8 browser department.
Found this on allaboutsymbian forums.

TL;DR? To summarize, MORE awesome browser for N8

So what if symbian was not used on N series anymore. It was still used in other series as well (E, X, C etc).
And not to mention, this was as same as what Nokia had been planning all these time. Push Meego as their high end OS while using symbian for their lower end phones. And judging from N8, I doubt that the lower end= Worse hardware
Just wait and see. Exciting times ahead yo!

Eldar Murtazin, the Russian Phone God posted his impression on Symbian^3
Read it here

And this was quoted from his twitter page

Hmm, symbian^4 looks quite delicious rite now. And tbh, if one of the main critic of Nokia says that he likes it, then I'm sure that it will be really good

Hmm, at long last it was confirmed by Nokia themselves that N8 will be the last N Series to feature Symbian OS. After this, all N series will be based on Meego OS.
More info http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65N20Y20100624

wat? no lah, N8 will be the last N SERIES to run symbian, future N series will be running on Meego. Check the reuters news I post b4 this
Thats stll leaves us with X, E and C series running symbian.

Well N8 have its own merit too. The best bang for the buck I believe.
And not to mention, the N8 runs Symbian^3, which supports both S60v5 apps as well as QT apps ( Meego, Symbian^4 and beyond). Hence, if some cannot live without certain S60v5 apps (Garmin comes into mind here), maybe N8 is the best shot after all. Don't forget that Symbian^4 breaks all compatibility with S60 apps though.

And Samsung? Pfft, as drollworthy as Wave looks like, I can't trust them for support on my phone.
Yes, I already played with Wave + Bada OS before, and I've to agree that it is quite sleek and have some potential. But again, I don't believe them with supporting my phone. And before I been flamed by others, I believe that support in this terms not only in adding new features but also must include bug fixing and polishing existing functions. The main prob with Samsung was dat they tend to check almost all things in terms of function but then also left out quite damn bugs.
Pretty damn annoying if u ask me

At least there was some effort by Nokia to rectify the problems. Heck we even got our newest Fw v22. Being an N97 user too, I too felt PITA when suddenly the phone started to crap out on me

But for Samsung, as they market the phone, well thats about it. Heck some if it become worse after updates from samsung...*cough omnia hd cough*

Yup, Garmin already dun update their S60 and Winmo app. The reason? Well they already have their own Garmin Nuviphone
But for me, Ovi Maps + Free navigation is enuff

No lah...it will be shipped in August

LOL...hope dat not the case. AFAIK, N8 was supposed to launch in July, but as Nokia want to make sure dat the OS is really2 stable before shipping it, it was delayed to August.
