I can come up with many other such attempts. Yet the final conclusion will remain the same. The S^3 appears an intermediate version of the platform unfortunately, one that has been delayed several times. What is presented in the end, has been available in other OS' for a long time, Symbian is just trying to catch up with the competition (e.g. the newly released social services in the phonebook could be seen in the N97 prototypes two years ago). For the Nokia fans who are satisfied with S60 5th edition it is a great improvement (it's faster, more stable, adds some new features), but for the whole market the platform comes out outdated, both in terms of its interface and many inbuilt software capabilities. It is functionally inferior to iOS 4 (e.g. in terms of games, social services, interface, e-mail functionality, amount of third-party software), Android (e.g. in terms of interface, extra phonebook and calendar features), Bada (e.g. in terms of interface, Social Hub functionality, etc.). Unfortunately, the number of updates in this version of Symbian is not enough to qualify for its own name; Nokia used to call such updates Feature Packs. Now the company is trying to make a splash since it is lacking resources and that is all it's got. All the effort has been put into S^4. However, taking into account the fact that the latter is based on S^3 to some extent, the company won't be able to build a new platform from scratch. Nokia is also dissipating its energy on MeeGo, which doesn't leave much chance for improving the services and platforms. All those observations put together provide the necessary justification for the meager Symbian update that we have.

pretty neutral and not bias review.... thumb up...

accept the fact... Nokia never learn on this....

bro... it's kind of old news and the person who wrote it been call a non-valid (illegal) getting the preview set.
not sure he's been bias or not but it seem he work with samsung as salaried employee? 

sorry if he is..  that is what Nokia accusing him...

he already explaint who he is .. and show he is a real journalist.... 

I don't see he bias to samsung...  he praise on Iphone interface etc on the artical...   

I can remove the link if ppl don't like it...  sorry...

that's why i'm saying "not sure" he is bias or not, then that review also from the preview unit and not final product yet... heard that india is getting the phone soon hopefully real actual production unit review can come soon... 

this thread seems more and more like a discussionpost for Nokia's designer team.. input and suggestions till version 3 and the product is not even released yet..

Not a so good news...

a fairly new unit already show scratchy.....    esp this button u always use...

If we get silver colour even if fade it wont be so obvious?

install Nunlock to avoid that.i rarely use my satio slide to unlock or lock.

woo....that look like an serious issue...
that is not a wise move, image buyer have the choice a colour to aviod the peel off issue to be see obvious
that don't solve the problem, is only aviod part of the problem....what about other surface?

Invisible sheild have better business this time

InviShield can't cover all the surface though 

i don't think Invisible sheild can cover the surrounding edge at all the botton, BTW Invisible sheild is for extra protection for the device we own, not for "cover" the mistake make by the device.

using Invisible sheild on N8 is same like using bumper on iphone 4.....why the user have to pay extra cost to cover the mistake make by the maker?

never ever considering InviShield actually...  
"I dont care I want an Iphone4... "  haha...

U know how I protect my n95 last time? 



wakakakka... 

Nokia have the colour dropping issue long long long time ago since they start using  silver colour like casing....
Until now u see the N97 still suffering the same old shit problem.... 

for sure.. it will carry to n8...

err..but that's a price to pay when u're all poisoned up    hopefully the final device isn't that way
