    Cool. If you want to beat the competitors, price and functionality need to be the best. Else, can close shop. It’s a tough world.

    I think that the N8 would benefit the most out of this major update because of its already superior imaging capabilities. Symbian Belle takes care of what has been missing in terms of UI/UX, and you end up with a very good hardware functionality combined with highly optimized software. And while all of this is happening, the price of the N8 will be going down. So all in all, the N8 will get stronger, and cheaper at the same time.
