Maemo 5 PR 1.3 is fully rewritten with QT 4.7.
It'll be hard to port Maemo/MeeGo to Symbian device because of hardware limitation such as SWAP memory,the need of high performing CPU etc2

Since Nokia is bringing back Symbian development back to "house" I don't think most of independent developers will be interested in making apps like FCam for symbian.

If you guys expect FCam to be ported to N8 I think you guys will be very disappointed.FCam was written exclusively for Maemo because the OS's nature of making writing apps & upgrading it easy.
Also although symbian is also an open source OS there some proprietary stuff like drivers that is preventing third party developers from making apps like FCam.
Maemo don't have too much restriction.

But if there are enough people asking for FCam like application I'm sure other third party will make similar apps.

It's not easy to port Maemo.There was an attempt to port maemo to HTC HD2.But the OS simply lagged too much so the project was discontinued.

Just a curious question,how many of you have returned your N8 to NCC for warranty claim?

Around 5 case only....
Reading the comments from few threads ago till now I expected plenty more.

I'm not a N8 user
Plus this thread moves too fast,no way I can keep up with all the post.

For phones like N900 & N8 I'll recommend those who want it to buy Zitron/Avaxx set if possible.
These are not some average phone which any Ah Beng can repair if there is any problem.

Some seller tell buyers this & that & also tell AP give longer warranty so it's better.But in real life AP company service will never match to NCC service.(But some NCC sucks though)

So serious meh?

Yup.Still running dual boot.
v1.1 have working phone functions,messaging,browsing & few other minor stuff.Overall it's runs smooth depending on how fast your microSD card is.There are still bugs here & there.
After the 1.1 I've yet to test the latest weekly built.Maybe this weekend I'll try new version.

My N900/Maemo still running great.Now with the OTG function it's better than ever.

Dramatic improvement should be happening Jan/Feb next year I think.
That's when the devs starts putting everything together & rush for the consumer ready v1.2 which is scheduled to be out in April 2011.

I'm more interested in aspire's upcoming feedback.
As a longtime N900 user he should have some "extra" feedback.

Well..This popped up in MeeGo wiki - http://wiki.meego.com/Devices/U8500
Most probably this device will be using MeeGo as OS too.

Feature similar to leaked N9 too.
Anyone approve the same spec for N9?

+1

And this is why Intels entry on smartphone is very important.They claim that their CPU will make the battery last longer than what ARM's CPU doing right now.

OS & the spec.
We all want the same spec for the upcoming phone.

No more "ARM 11 is not enough"

Team up with other symbian users & start a campaign asking Mozilla to port Fennec to Symbian too.

Interesting idea buy somewhat hard to implement.
I'm assuming you want to bring the good stuff in N900 to N8?
So you need the whole SoC,eMMC,have the swap memory enabled etc2
On software side you need support from Nokia.Drivers such as graphics & camera is Nokia's proprietary stuff.You'll also need permission for the OVI stuff.

There was a project to port current MeeGo build to N8 but all the Maemo's pros seems not to interested in it for now.
Most of them busy with the OTG for N900.

Not impossible.
You'll need a specific amount of budget.I think around 5 digit in US dollar
You need this kind of budget because you'll have to implement a new SoC in a news board plus depending on the test result you have have to change stuff on the circuit board.
Write to Nokia asking you to support financially & software wise.Who knows they might approve the project if you're serious

Question about N8's OTG

N8 cannot read NTFS drives at all?

Been a very long time since I used a phone with homescreen like this...

How accurate is the battery widget?

^Clearly the 2nd picture.
N8's picture look more "colourfull"
