In a last year, Nokia said new update with a improved browser will be released in a Early Q1. So i wait, new year is gone, january, february....now i a april? Starts Q2 and nothing? Why promises Nokia and lies? I am angry and very dissapointed. Nokia N8 is a flag model and a support? Joke? During a more half year selling, we get a two small updates without a new features.
A week ago, i get a Sony Ericsson arc - this device has a much better browser than Nokia with a prehistoric version of their browser. Until this time, i was a satisfied user of Nokie N8, but now i regret buying of this product of Nokia with a horrible support.
For example, Galaxy S get update to 2.3 more faster than PR 2.0 for Nokie N8. It´s very funny 
)
Now i will waiting a few months to release in a autumn of PR 2.0, maybe Q4?
On the other hand, in this case with S^3 we were actually promised a constantly eveloping operating system were new features was supposed to be made and then pushed out as updates as fast as they were ready. So in that case we were actually promised updates.
Now, I have my E7 and it's been a very good device so far, but unfortunately there are a few bugs which I have discovered because of my way to use the phone. Often while listening to radio and trying to multitask with the browser, the phone will freeze and I will have to do the 8 second press of the power button to get it back running. So some basic functions and combinations does not work as supposed to.
On an another hand ( I have many of them
) Nokia will need to follow what other brands do to get new customers and make those who are stay with the make. So this point of view would not have any legal depth to it, but is a clear trend in the market.But you're quite right about what you have posted
What's also slowing Nokia down is the product codes for countries, regions, operators etc There are tons of small variations which of course, due to the amount of customers, will make this go slower, much slower.
Fender77. Agree with your comments there totally. I have Nokia E71. Works as it should and most of the blips are now gone.
My new Nokia C7 though is still full of small but niggling issues that need the updates as
promised. The update release procedure is a minefiedl though!!! I
I've read some post to theses forums and some people really need to try the phone before they
buy it......
@fender77,
AFAIK Nokia said they would drop version numbers after Symbian^3 and updates would be continuous. So far so good.
What they didn't say is what exactly would be coming and when. Keep in mind that most "sources" rely only on rumours, as Nokia has never (?) given an official date for anything.
On top of that, Nokia has historically had the whole mess with the country variants and product codes (probably this is simply an effect of Nokia being so widespread worldwide and operators wanting to have control over everything).
And let's not forget: if Google is releasing a new version of Android every week, I'd say they have a problem with quality control Perhaps some users like this constant updating, as it makes them feel cooler or something. For such users, I would recommend Android .. until different brands and different carriers manage to convert it into a Symbian-like monster.. ;-)
