How would you change Nokia’s N8?

There’s no need to tell you that a lot was (and still is, in a way) riding on Nokia’s N8 . It was said to be the outfit’s first dead-serious smartphone to rival the giants of today, and it was also Nokia’s first chance to truly reveal Symbian^3 to the world.

Nokia N8 going on general sale October 22, available online October 15

Been waiting for the N8 but weren’t sure enough about buying it to get into the pre-order queue? Well, Nokia must have found your lack of faith disturbing as it’s now stiffing those who didn’t pre-order its all-new handset with another couple of weeks of waiting

Mystery Nokia slider shows off proto-Symbian^3 one last time, commits cellular suicide (video)

We never did quite get the name of Nokia’s prototype slider — it certainly isn’t the C7 , and it’s apparently not the N9 — but regardless of what you call our dearly departed, its journey is over . In what will no doubt be a fairly familiar tale to readers everywhere, TechnoBuffalo saw the phone remotely wiped right before their eyes, and Negri Electronics ( our original source ) says they’ve got private investigators breathing down their necks for the device. Stalwart to the bitter end, RM-626 gave one last performance before it dropped.

Symbian^3 reviewed in exquisite and ruthless detail by Eldar Murtazin

No folks, those mythical N8 review units still aren’t on our doorsteps, but we can offer you the next best thing: a thorough (we mean thorough ) overview of the Symbian^3 environment that will be front and center on Nokia’s next great phone. Eldar Murtazin of mobile-review reports on everything from the sophisticated handling of contacts and caller ID pictures, through the noticeable speed improvements, past the limited utility of online widgets that display only two lines at a time, beyond the “weak spot” web browser, and all the way to Symbian’s unhealthy habit of “clinging to continuity.” It’s an enlightening read, which pulls no punches with its conclusion: Symbian^3 is an evolutionary step up from S60 5th edition, which brings nothing new to the market and offers no comparative advantages. Strong words from Eldar, paricularly when he doesn’t disclose what build of the OS he’s using; his rationale, however, is that his analysis relates to overarching design decisions and ignores software bugs and version-specific foibles.
