well... some people(maybe trolling?) brought it up so i tot i'd just make a simple comparison with the stuffs i know on android... but i seriously just know little about android anyway... was hoping to have one to play around

no problem there, tech discussions are always welcomed... actually, Google is the one coming out with versions, and as for when the specific devices will get their customized updates( like HTC's that has the Sense UI), it's up to manufacturer again... of course, if they can give up their customized version, they can always flash to custom vanilla android(means native android without any customization, it's like how google released it). Not only that, there are also some custom firmwares that brings more improvement in performance by reducing some of the seldom needed stuffs. There's a huge open source community out there that makes all these possible. There are some device that manufacturers even stop updating(like the G1 for example), but the open source community still making new firmwares for them

of course, many people see flashing their device as difficult and risky, so they rather wait for the manufacturer's update, which is normally months after Google releases it. There are also devices that have bootloader lock, it locks the bootloader, so flashing to custom firmwares are way harder, like the droids from Motorola...

so yes, they can update, but not from their manufacturers, otherwise, they'll have to wait

don say like that lar... i am no master, just sharing what i know about androids here as well... i only know roughly that much, the rest need to actually own an android to test

previously is like this:

[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

now become:

[ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]

so that the thumbnails are bigger

wrong, Symbian foundation also come out with the generic version of Symbian, like google come out with vanilla Android , the rest of the customization are done by phone manufacturer. Android google announce it because they want you to know what's inside, and since a lot of manufacturer are using it, it's like a feature briefing for them as well, while Symbian, now only used by Nokia... create event for what lol.... last time when SE and Samsung are using Symbian, you can ask those that have a Omnia HD, their customization are quite cool iirc from what nicholas shown me
While Android's development is packed with innovation and strict timeline that they actually manage to fullfill, Symbian's is not so good, while they have the idea, they cant seem to get their development timeline right, keep on delay and delay..

maybe your company has a MAC address filter... your netbook u bring there and straight away can online? or they need to get the serial number of the netbook from you to register it first?

i think this means they ditched Meego for WP7? Burning platform means force from competitors,and jumping into icy water is doing something that normally people wont do... Nokia's been using their own(or owned by them mostly) OS, Symbian for smartphone so far, so i guess this 'jumping into icy water' move would be using someone's OS to power their smartphone, and since there are already rumor saying Nokia would be using WP7 OS, i think this might be the hint...
anyway, from the note, this whole thing will be answered in few days time at 11th Feb

lol... by updates i also mean you have to look at HTC, they are also phone manufacturer also, but they can still keep up with Android's frequent update ler.. btw, Symbian is acquired by Nokia at 2008, so it does mean Symbian is under Nokia now, and their partnet, SE and Samsung also pull out already as i recall. Plus, Symbian is still a foundation by itself, hence it will have the right to develop/add/remove/enhance features in Symbian to its final target, i think the reason why it's keep delaying is cos Nokia keep want to add this and that and causes overhead time into reimplementing/adding features to what Nokia's higher people want. Things like this happens a lot in software development, your boss is the one pulling the trigger

anyway my point when i reply to jackfruit is that Symbian's new version would also be generic, and it's still up to Nokia to customize them to specific phones, so each phone will have different timing in publishing their firmware

suspect it's the lock screen as well... that one related to the theme right?

test it on your movies see if that problem exist... a lot of us here got that purple color lock screen clock, but that's all

not really defect, it might be a bug in the screen color control to pass in the wrong color code gua...

after i get back my C7, i would most likely be swapping with my sister for N8, after i got my N8 back i'll look into it also...

@christcwl9: maybe is low screen brightness will cause purple tint? cos when you are in low light condition the screen will also auto adjust to a lower brightness... is your brightness set to max?

actually come to think of it second picture is better, more natural and more details

but if they change to "Made In Foxconn, China", would it be better?

yeah, i know, i wanna shot them also i think too many to shoot, most the time i just ignore since i know my stuffs already

tl;dr

conclusion is what?

hmm... now wanna wait see what nokia will announce tomorrow at their stratergy and financial briefing... starts roughly 7pm local time i think..

14th is the MWC, this one is nokia ownself's event, mainly is announcing what that internal note is all about...

while gizmodo mentioned no partnership with android, i checked their source site, a news article, and that article only says seems unlikely, no confirmed on that also.. i sincerely hope for finally android to come in Nokia
