N8 geek.com seem to think partnering microsoft is a good thing for nokia and that they will actually use all the OS together for quite some time to come.
All i want is for nokia to finish their symbian project, not dumping it without completing it.

Again, how long have they been working on this?

The speed of development suggest that the problem is either manpower, money or technical. Manpower, no problem, money no problem. Technical? In other words, the inability to actually marry a nice UI to good old Symbian. I mean, come on, enlarged menus?

Speaking of which, do they actually have any idea what this finished UI will look like? Technical drawings, something like that. Or if they just go along, burn the money, built it ad hoc with whatever stroke their fancy at that time. If this is the case, then no wonder the actual UI we have now looks like the illegitimate son of HTC sense and Series 60.


Still need to R&D for what?

Need to wait Nokia CEO state out clearly how they gonna do with our new device!Don't tell us Nokia CEO just IDontCare!

Like Elop's said, this isn't your standard OEM agreement.

Microsoft gives up, among other things, control over Wp7. Microsot gets a wide distribution channel, so big that they can now basically kick HTC, Samsung, LG out and develop Wp7 with just Nokia in mind.

In fact, it has been said that it would be that easy for Microsoft to just buy Nokia. Worth about 40 billion, that's the money they were willing to pay to Yahoo at one time.

That was for Kyo when he asked abt symbian's future.

Is it good if i activate my Power Saving mode all the time buddies ??

Cuz i found that if i activate this mode , the Wlan wont turn off bug can be solved !! haha

thank you.

Nokia soon will finish!

Don't need R&D that much, methinks, seeing that Symbian has no future. And no, you don't really need an R&D budget for bug fixes.

Sos


At least got ppl have faith for this N8. I really hope other modders will continue their project for N8.

yeah ... news turned us upside down,
especially those who loved Symbian and who expect PR2.0
and those who don't like Micro-viruses ...
Fair would be to provide Symbian support
for Nokia N8 at least 1 year (PR2.0 and maybe a non ^4 PR3.0)
I hope this is not the end of Nokia as leader...
and hope to complete even their project Symbian^3
After the Intel-Nokia MeeGo half-fiasco...
in this new round I think that Nokia will be the defeated one... again
I don't like the experiments as the N900 was,
I worked 5 months with N900
part happy with great hardware, part unhappy with hybrid software

Agree with you

We just hope that Nokia can finish fix all the bug of Symbian^3 then they can start their WP7 os .

This is our last hope, at least let us have a full and proper functioning N8, Mr, Elop!

I think all around the world hackers will be so happy now because they soon can start spreading virus on WP7(Fail OS).

I also consider want to get N900, but good or not?
