I'll bet they're still using those shitty 330mhz processors too. Don't Nokia realise that regardless of how they tweak the software, things will always run slowly with such a pathetic clock speed. The browser is the best example of this - try changing tracks with the media keys on your N96 while browsing the internet, it takes about 20 seconds just to register the button push.]]>Nov 10th 2008 12:44PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/
Well mpx count and things like that are the only things we see here so who knows what these phones will look like and how will they work.....
To me that IPO8 or Ivalo could be the next N95. I couldn't care less anymore how far the megapixel race goes and it haven't seemed to affect European and Asian buyers that much anymore either.

Like Eldar(mobile-review.com) said that Nokia will have some sirius phones coming out 2009 that will start the new era of Nokia's smartphones and show the goal for other players, and i got no doubt they will.

There's no reason to believe that Nokia will use the same processors, but i do get your point. It just would make sense that when there's clearly going to be new kind of phones with new S60 in it they will change the whole hardware like they have done in the past thought. ]]>Nov 10th 2008 1:33PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/Nov 10th 2008 3:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/AND

Long spec sheets do not make a device good. Apple is proving it's all about the software. The longer Nokia struggles with Symbian, the wider the gap is going to get. Fortunately, Google is developing a nice OS for them so they should be able to play catch-up quickly once they realize it's time dump Symbian.]]>Nov 10th 2008 4:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/Nov 10th 2008 4:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/

Arivadercci!!!!!!!!!!]]>Nov 10th 2008 10:31PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/

The iPhone is now officially the best selling phone in the USA. That's ... incredible. 2 years ago, it was un-imaginable. Nokia is selling huge volumes of low-end phones, and it's going to keep that market for a while - seems like nobody can match the price/performance of these things. However, in the high end phone market, Nokia must be seriously worried.

There's three things that currently holds Nokia back: Software. Software. And software. Their software _sucks_. Not just Symbian - their PC Suite software sucks too. It's so horrible, it's shocking. Coming from a huge company with unlimited resources, that's troubling. It means that somewhere at the top management level, they don't "get" software. They should have embraced Android right from the get-go, it's currently their best bet at a short time solution. I have seen Symbian - I am a software developer and given its history, I have very little faith that it can be rescued. Maybe if they get some genius wunderkind on board but... chances are exceedingly slim. Resources would be better spent at customizing the hell out of Android or developing a new OS from scratch. ]]>Nov 10th 2008 10:43PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/
I look forward to what Nokia will come up with. Hopefully another fashionable, artsy avant-garde phone with a 3.0-3.8 inch screen, slide out keyboard and Android! OH god, that would be perfect. As perfect as what could have been with the Touch HD and Android. Ugh. Speaking of Touch HD, HTC is another good handset manufacturer in my book, but their stuff is more refined. Nokia is definitely more stylish. Unfortunately, for some reason, the US tends to not pick up any of those stylish phones. Those dull idiots at Nokia USA.]]>Nov 10th 2008 4:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/Nov 10th 2008 4:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/Nov 10th 2008 4:44PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/
About the list... I believe it when I see some of the phones actually come out.]]>Nov 10th 2008 4:47PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/As a business handset, there aren't a lot of choices from Nokia, esp in the US. And I don't think you can really say the Android OS is popular now...

But like I said above, in the smart phone market, they are missing software expertise. Their software is crap. No wonder, either, given that Nokia rose to the top in an era when hardware was the beginning and the end of a phone, when phones all ran custom OSs which couldn't do very much (but excelled at what they could do).

It all comes down to this: Nokia needs to learn software. How fast they can do it will directly determine their relevance in the years to come. Nokia is currently getting outdone by Apple, RIM, and even Win Mobile in the software department. And Android is on the passing lane too. ]]>Nov 10th 2008 10:52PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/
Not being as popular? Nokia sells about 50 times as many devices as Apple or RIM, and Android is hardly a blip on the screen. Nokia is the undisputed leader is smartphones as well.]]>Nov 13th 2008 8:24AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/Nov 11th 2008 7:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/ :)]]>Nov 10th 2008 4:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/ :(]]>Nov 10th 2008 5:02PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/Nov 10th 2008 4:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/10/the-better-part-of-nokias-smartphone-roadmap-goes-on-display/

Seriously, Nokia's N95 has some *amazing* hardware, but the OS is FAR from my favorite. I work product support for a major tech companies cellular software and it amazes me that Nokia drags their hardware so far down with it's dumbphone operating system.

You've got Maemo under your belt for Mobile Linux, with Flash9 and Web2.0 touchscreen goodness.
