N8 (Symbian^3) support both Qt apps and old S60v5 apps. Hence I think dat it'll work.
And I'm really digging on Symbian^4 rite now. Too bad I'm dead set on buying N900 lol

Yup..in fact that some early reports says dat some S60v5 apps do run flawlessly on N8 (Gravity and Opera) whilst some run with minor glitches.
Should try first if it really supports Garmin, but for me, I dun use Garmin as much as before as I rely more on Ovi Maps rite now. Free nav FTW?

Saw already some video for gaming on N8...and I've to say that the Broadcom GPU unit in this is a beast as it renders games almost to the iPhone level of quality

LOL...cant remember which one as I watched it a long time ago...but this is one of them I suppose

Remember that this OS is still in optimization...and this video already been uploaded a long time ago.
Hope tis helps

I dunno if we can dismiss it as fake rite now. If u read the N8 specs, the zoom mechanism was the same as N86 one ie Real Digital Zoom
Video demo embedded below


Now2 mybe the sw was refined in N8? Hmm only time will tell.
Personally I hope that the vid was not fake

OH LOL...internutz iz serious business

I'm not saying that the video was the truth, just saying that MAYBE the video have some sort of merit on it. And by the way that all of u analyses this video is truely commendable
Hey2 no offense though

p/s- still finding that N86 digital zooming mechanism is the best in cell phones (in terms of digital zoom), which I hope will be more of an improvement n N8. For me, this is one hidden innovation that Nokia failed to promote throughly when N86 was released. Hope that Nokia will promote tis MAGICAL innovation in N8 (couldn't resist tis pun lol )

Add one more Ranger, as I'm also chosen as one of the Nokia Rangers as well.
May i know who else chosen?

ps: Before this, was chosen as Nokia Music Explorer and was given a X6...Now, keeping my finger crossed for anything new . Especially after selling off my N97, which is quite saddening to me as I love it...(well kinda having a love and hate relationship )

Thnks...dunno wat we've to do yet. Dun keep my hopes high atm

Lulz..Yup. Been using it after my N97 decided to crap on me (LOL) and quite happy with it.
Anyway ur alrdy have ur N900+ Iphone 3GS etc...wat else do you want?

If im not mistaken, it was clocked at 1.5GHz
Sadly, the phone is canceled. I wonder why?

Oh lol...photoshopped for teh lulz hahah3

@andrekua
Hmm AFAIK Intel did not have access to ARM architecture. Mainly bcoz they alrdy sell their ARM division to Marvell if im not mistaken.
Correct me if im wrong though

Lulz...well I dun think so...N8 only supports apps which was written with QT toolkit. And the existing apps that was written for android OS and Apple etcetc cannot run on N8, not before the developer port their apps to Qt.
And although there are some QT ports out there, such as for WebOS, i dun think that it will reach the same compatibility level of the Symbian OS and Meego provides. Although I would like to be proven wrong here
And come on, do you think draconian Apple gonna let other runtimes to work on their phones/ OS?

And no spamming plz...Keep this thread clean lulz

Lulz...yep, to lure other manufacturer is hard. And AFAIK, the WebOS port was actually just like a hobby works. I doubt that it will reach the same compatibility level of Meego n Symbian OS.
But as u said, it surely helps in the overall strategy of Nokia, as they can support two OS by leveraging on a single runtime for both of them, thus saving cost and also widening their reach especially in the application availability for both OS.

Wow....wat juz happens hahaha3. Me iz late to the party as usual

Well, doesn't have much to say, but as I said earlier, to me, I don't find Nokia S60v5 is bad, I just felt like it was damn inconsistent. Coupled with a weak hardware and there u r, a recipe for disaster,...*cough N97 cough*

But, N8 with its Symbian^3 already remedy these inconsistency. Coupled with sufficient hardware and im sure that it'll do just fine.
Not saying that Nokia is not at fault too, believe me, I still remember how I keep my finger crossed for the N8 to be equipped with an 3rd gen CPU eg ARM Cortex A8. And I still don't understand the reason y an ARM 11 CPU was choosen. Spare me the crap on the batt saving, the batt savin capability on newer cpu is much better than ARM11 ones. Haih =_="
Although the GPU in N8 is a monster itself lulz

On the other hand, I also respect how Nokia try to remedy this problem. They try to engage the community directly with initiatives such as the Nokia Ranger program. Ya I'm sure that they are quite late in realizing that they must change, but I'm sure that they still could pull this off.

All in all, I do tip my hat off to those who changed for the better. Especially large company like Nokia.
But really, don't let us down again, believe me, the main problem with the brand is not the marketshare, its about the mindshare

Just my 2 cent tho. And again, keep the flamewar outta here plz

^ Well TBH, no one know when N8 will be released in Malaysia. But expect around 3rd Q i hope.

And for those who ask for Swype on N8 (Or any S60v5) phones, i believe that an alternative for a similar keyboard. Try google around for SlideIT

And WWIII? Try to control urself from being childish here will ya?
