There's also X9 in the works/ Early phase. A few of the upcoming phones under the new naming convention has been mentioned by Eldar Murtazin and he's preparing to leak the N9 in the coming months. After comparing the interface speed of maemo/meego/moblin vs. Symbian , N8 doesn't cut it for me anymore. And Symbian^4 is way too ahead in the future. So i think I'm gonna wait for meego(maemo 6) based N9.
@JFH Well, Symbian has always been very, very capable OS. Only bad thing is that Avkon (UI layer) is getting outdated. That's the problem. Symbian has one of the most advanced operating systems out there but UI development has been up to vendors like Nokia and that's why it's not up to date. I'd really like to see some high specced Symbian^3 phone from other manufactures, it would be nice if they would offer Symbian^4 update for it too.

@driq
I hope he doesnt put out another one of those "I am not getting paid by Nokia anymore, my new sugardaddy is Samsung-Reviews".
The N8 looks to be far more capable than he "predicted".

@Suomaa
Good thing then that S^3 is the last version of Symbian UI with Avkon :).
@JFH
Yeah, totally new era start for Symbian. Hopefully they (HW manufacturers) begin to offer OS updates after that too.
