From looking terrible early on, to the latest video which has it looking pretty smart, it's left me feeling a bit regretful that I won't be buying it. But then again, if I did buy it, it's almost a certainty that I'd be feeling the same regret about the N9 and MeeGo.

We're constantly getting teased with the N8! ;) getting to see everything about the phone before we get it in our hands is going to slacken the initial experience in our hands we'll be dulled since we've become so familiar! sigh i want the phone to be released already :( I cant stand these postings!

I don't want that. On the N8 issue its between it and the N9 with Meego I am still deciding can't afford both :-) Oh I agree with you iPhone and Android are only slightly “prettier” than Symbian I am saying that there is virtually no difference between Android and Symbian especially, because the number of people suggesting Nokia should switch to Android is ludicrous.

Where exactly am I "hating people"? The iPhone is a Fisher-Price toy. I'm stating a fact about it's simplicity. As I said "iPhone has contributed some good user interface design features". Not only is the iPhone's simplicity great for many people, but it has also influenced user interface design in many other phones. All good stuff. > The iPhone is winning because it brought mobile data and apps to the masses, something Nokia tried to do and failed. Fact: iPhone market share has fallen every quarter for the last 3 quarters. Second fact: Nokia smartphone's market share has risen every quarter for the last 3 quarters. Who's winning and who's failing? iPhone succeeded firstly because they have excellent marketing. Secondly because they created an easy to use software ecosystem that works. Nokia is very close behind in achieving the second and hopefully is improving the first. You’re being completely over-sensitive probably because you own and love an iPhone.

Assume S^4 is ready by Jan/Fed/Mar next year, after that the companies need to incorporate it into their phones and adjust it. They need to fix the bugs which is what was happening with the Nokia N8 which still isn't 100% complete. S^3 was released middle of this year but the N8 still isn't released showing that new S^4 devices wouldn't be released early next year but instead towards middle of the year and Nokia may move it further down the track to the 3Q so it doesn't damage potential S^3 sales, especially if S^3 phones aren't upgradeable to S^4.
