It now looks like that the Nokia N8 Will be the last Nseries phone that they release running on the Symbian operating system. It’s expected that and the newer smart phones will now run on the MeeGo operating system which is a joint venture between Nokia and Intel.
This will not be the end of the Symbian operating system because they will still use it on their Xseries, Eseries and some Cseries handsets.
The Meego operating system is based on Linux and will hopefully improve their market share in the smartphone area which has a lot of competition from the likes of Apple, Blackberry and Android.

The Nokia N8 has been seeing a number of times over the past few weeks. And the guys over at mobile review somehow manage to get their hands on the handset even though it is not even released yet.
The new handset will run on Nokia’s new Symbian 3 operating system. The reports so far on the new operating system say that it doesn’t come close to what you find on the Android OS and the iPhone OS which is a little bit disappointing but we will remain positive until we see more reviews and maybe get some hands-on time with this ourselves.
We know more details on the phone but it is expected to be announced sometime this month as soon as we have more information on specifications, pricing etc. we will let you know.

Nokia have announced that they will be launching their Nokia E72 in white in the not-too-distant future. Initially, it will be available only in Malaysia and it’s expected that they will launch it there later this month. Once it has been rolled out in Malaysia they are expected to launch it in other markets but so far we have no confirmed dates as to when this will happen.

The news that you can now install the software using the Ovi store is a welcome addition.
