Even though I am a person who has always had Nokia phones, I have considered jumping ship to Android.  I would NEVER go iphone, but that is my personal preferences, and I would not rubbish their phones - particularly as I have never had one.  Which leads me to this response to YeomanDroid.  Your comment lacks any credibility, and you obviously haven't seen or used a Nokia N95 8GB which I have had for 2 years. As far as the build quality, reliability and usability beats many just-released so-called top-of the range smartphones.  Quality stereo speakers, quality 5mpixel Carl Zeiss lens camera, fast browsing, excellent phone reception, plus a pile of other things such as VOIP, voice-activated Google search, Nokia maps and satnav free for life, and it never freezes or gives up.  I have heard that some 'fast processor' Android phones get so hot that people have to take them out of their pocket, and, oh, surprise, this seems to affect batteries, which then become unreliable and pack up.  Perhaps, just perhaps, Symbian is much more efficient than other OSs, and perhaps a Nokia N8 running on a slighly slower chip (BUT with a GPU) with Symbian^3 may not be cutting edge, but I bet you that the hardware will have a level of quality that knocks the competition for six AND the phone will also provide ALL the functionality anyone would want.  And before the screen resolution becomes too much of an issue, on the size of screen we are talking about for smart-phones, the planned resolution of the N8 will probably not seem ANY different from phones with vastly higher resolutions to the average person.  There are so many people ready to rubbish Nokia, but just let's wait and see what they produce before we kick them into touch with ill-informed comments.
