I guess the OTG kernel still isn't perfect.
Everyone having same problem connecting devices that requires extra power?
In N900 this works just fine.

The user purposely did this if I'm not mistaken.I doubt this kind of damage caused by "accident".

Not just simply,it's very simple.
No homescreen,limited multitaking,restricted access to OS files etc2.Even after jailbreak it's still pretty simple OS.
Even without the 1GHz processor iPhone 4 should still run fine because the entire is not hard on on processing power.
But somehow Apple managed to phail simple multitasking.From what heard sometimes when multitasking is initiated,the whole OS lags thus requires reboot.

The "internal" part of Android is bit hard to get used to.But just give it some time & you'll get used to it.I'm alternating between Maemo & Android,already got used to it.
btw swype on resistive screen still performs very well.

About the 8 hours battery charge,I don't think modern days battery have to do so.
As for N900's case,when the light indicator turns from orange to green automatically the battery will stop recharging.No matter how long you left it.

It's kinda expected.Symbian's webkit based browser simply never performed on par with other webkit based browser.
Perhaps Nokia should have just to port Maemo's browser.

Too many widgets?

Using too much of widget do use higher battery power than normal.
Just remove the widgets that you don't use.

It's what you can expect from 1200mA battery.
Why Nokia don't produce 1500mA batteries still puzzles me.

There will be always be ways to squeeze out tiny bit of extra battery life.
Some of them are use GSM only instead of dual mode,turn off widgets,use wifi instead of 3g because 3g use higher battery power than wifi,use custom firmware,etc2
If you guys complain about the firmware right now maybe you'll get new firmware soon.Go to Nokia forum & voice out your frustration.

1500mA in N8 might not be possible because of lack of space.BP-5L(1500mA battery) have larger dimension than N8's battery space.Don't think the size reduction of the battery is possible either.

It's normal in every OS to customize everything to suit your need.

This is true at least for my N900.
Whether you use 3G or WiFi,your phone will still get hot.If I'm not mistaken it the battery that heats up?

Well this is main problem for DiGi users than
DiGi's 2.5G/3G coverage just plain sucks.

We'll see if that happens with E7.
Even N900 suffers with 1320mA battery.

Really?
When I go back to my hometown I have to use 2G
In my hostel I have to use 2.5G
But I'm subscribing to RM58 unlimited plan

Even with 2.5G only I'm using more than 3GB data monthly.If I used PAYU definitely I have to pay RM250 monthly.
Better for me to subscribe for the RM58 plan.

Don't think it entirely new.But there will be some similarity with the of Opera works.

You mentioned that your 500GB ext HD is not detected by your N8.Is it a 2.5 or 3.5 version?

But your drive did power up right?

Should be slight problem with OTG kernel.Since N8 don't have so called hardware limitation like N900 you should be able to mount almost any drives.
Maybe future firmware will solve this kind of issue.
I can even mount ext DVD-RW with my phone

Tryout swype then.

Dah..It's well known that Apple is money sucking company.
iPhone still ok because maybe they are trying to spend the profit to cover the R&D but they really suck money with desktop & laptops macs.

This should answer your question.

As long as you don't mess with the closed source contents.

Why not start changing to NTFS?

It'll be better if Nokia allow users to change the video itself.There are some people who hates that video.

Dunno about Symbian but on MeeGo part Nokia key contributions on only SGX drivers, camera stack, and accelerated video decoders.
Rest are developed by independent developers paid by Nokia + Intel.
