lol...c'mon lar, same hardware, same firmware....there's no such thing as 2nd batch no problem, just that you didnt perform the specific actions to make the bug occur..mine is first batch, apart from feeling that it responds kinda slow, i didnt face any major bug also
spec different, hence coding different. See it this way...5800 camera image processing and 5530 implementation might be different, so the seperate the coding for the camera processing part. it will work fine by that camera module itself, but, when you join together with other modules like file saving, preview, etc etc, it might have different behavior due to the different coding, hence even though the spec is the same, OS is the same, some of the bugs would only occur on specific models...due to different programmers and codings.
my N8? well...browser crash when i click on email link lor...other then that, never encounter anything before wor...maybe mine also 2nd batch?
it's not he hates symbian, is cos people that used other platform will know, Symbian cannot compete with other OS as of now. I been using 6680 -> N851 -> N82 also, long time Symbian fan, but even i think that compared to iOS, Symbian is like a baby in comparison...
we don have Symbian, you only think that way because you lack of exposure to other platforms.
that one i think is OS issue, save the OS cache to wrong place...
network connection is lame excuse? it's like your browser lar, if the page content is not loaded, what u want them to show?

you know how much power do you need to power a GPU? u know why gaming drains your battery like water? cos they uses GPU....your meaning is you want to use GPGU everywhere, and navigates thru the menu will also drain your battery at similar level of gaming? GPGPU is good, but it doesnt mean it must be applied everywhere, when battery life is a concern
Can't it show "Unable to load content"? like Android market? Make it like click Game Category and it moves to another page smoothly, but the current Ovi store isn't smooth and I noticed some slowness when moving to another page.
And c'mon, all I hear what people complaining is the slowness/lagness of N8, can't they use the GPU to make it more smooth?
