As far as I know, no imminent battery revolution is seen.
This is exactly the culture at Nokia that the new CEO needs to change.
Calling a turd, a turd is not bashing... its being realistic.
People are criticizing Nokia because they want them to do better, no other reason.
The response can never be "move on to Google or Apple", the response should be:
"we, at Nokia can do better. This is what we should change"...
not keep clinging to the past.
I have pretty much only owned Nokia phones, that's something I don't want to change.. but I'm quickly loosing patience

Not enough to go on in that video. I will wait until after release to decide.
It has that skinny scroll bar on the right, but is a capacitive display?? Are we expected to grow our nails long or is there a capacitive stylus included?

hehehe...
actually my problem was that i couldn't decide whether to buy N8 or wait for the N9... now it is solved
But, if it turns out that N9 is disappointing... then i will have a new problem
Nokia has to get N9 right, otherwise they will lose a good % in market in 2011. I would say Apple might even be able to slave out Nokia if Nokia keeps losing every battle.

they restarted the counting, IMO the only way they can keep doing that and not be lame is if after the N9 it's the NX (a pun with the roman numeral for 10 and being pronounced "NEXT")

A lot of OS smack talk here 
Android is better than all of your girlyman OSs. Had them and used them all..... Ok, last time with Symbian was the Ngage.... Does that even count?

The n8 has OUTSTANDING hardware. Nobody is arguing that. All the hardware in the world won't make a good phone if the software holds it back.
Symbian is crap. Crap crap crap. It makes dumphones awesome, but it makes smartphones utter shite.
No amount of arguing by you will change that. If it was completely rewritten, as WP7 was, we could have a discussion. But it wasn't. Its more lipstick on a pig.
Put anything other than Symbian on the n8 and I would consider buying it. Seriously, throw iOS, Android, WP7, WebOS, hell even WinMo6.5 and I would reconsider. As it is, Symbian sucks. End of story.

Since this is allready devolved into total off-topicness, here's good article from Reuters today, which really highlights Symbian's global marketshare.
Nokia outperforming rivals on mobile ads
"Nokia's phone operating system has nearly 50 percent of the global mobile advertising market, more than its overall industry market share and ahead of Apple, a new survey showed on Monday.
In terms of advert impressions, Nokia had almost 10 billion ad impressions in July. Apple had 1.6 billion impressions while Android had over 711 million."
This is why Nokia isn't giving up on Symbian yet. Abandoning away the 90%+ of humanity that can't afford high-end phones would be really stupid.

Now we can ask am I being realistic or just trying ad hominem?
Loosing patience? Then why keep waiting. Change for love of god! Life is too short. Only way Nokia will react is that people start using other devices. Sadly it looks like that Nokia can pump devices at mind-blowing speed and probably giving quite likely best bang for buck for most of its devices.
And then sometimes happens something like this:

Stiftung what?:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiftung_Warentest
And then angry nerds say that people are just soooo wrong sooo wrong because it´s old and well in lack of better word "turd".
