@phoneboy, @shika, so instead, we (ok, I'm probably a little too close) can make up some rumours with some faked photos... isn't that how these things usually move on from this point? :o)
@shika we did make up a spec sheet for an upcoming Nseries in Barcelona. I'm sure @krazykitter will give you the specs. As for the looks I'd like a E90 like powehouse!
@cybette Touch what, the subject or the device u are holding? :-> As for the batteries.. well thats a quite a generalisation, a dare say the N96 isnt a part of!
Sad thing is, by the time these products are announced, i'd be tired and sick of them, be stuck using a proto that sometimes don't work as well as a production phone, and working on something else i can't talk about for a year...
@Dandandan at the cost of finding out that I was dumb to think/speculate on a particular thing I'd still somehow prefer what we do now. I'd get sick of knowing it all. Its great fun to toss theories up!
@merajchhaya i really don't know the model number! many times after a product is announced, i go -- oh, so N78 is this some secret name that we've been throwing around at work for the past 9 months? @vaibhavsharma well, it can be fun, but usually just frustrating that you can't confirm or deny anything, or tell people what you like and don't like about the devices or the technologies you're working on.
I've been in the position of knowing and getting to hear everyone else's speculation, and it's definitely fun, but i kinda like being able to speculate, and guessing is always fun
@cybette: you make a couple of good points there; but I tend to trip about UI issues that QA testing tends to cover. I'd have no problem having a device others couldn't have for a year or so. That's the case now, and I usually stay behind the first-adopters in getting new things.
Speculating is fun; informed speculation is another thing entirely, and a game that gets fun in spurts.
my bad @cybette I didn't notice you really didn't know. could you tell us what do you expect it to fall under? We are used to see N9X as revolutions, N8X as refinements of N9X, and N7X...umm stylish refinements of N8X? Just your opinion please.
@cybette well, then just get rid of the fiustration! Shoot me a mail - vaibhav@thesymbianblog.com and I promise to be sworn to secrecy! :)
How I wish you would do that.............!
@arjw i don't have a problem either, it's just not necessarily always "fun" as people might think. i do take my work seriously! and it always makes me beam with pride when someone likes the products and features that i've worked on. (criticisms are welcome too.) @merajchhaya no problem! actually the model numbering has never quite made sense to me, it's probably some lengthy algorithm that has gone wrong somewhere and nobody has bothered to debug it ;)
Wait...I was stressing about this one device, I couldn't take the suspense any longer, and now I'm informed that there are more than 3! I'm so working for Nokia when I get a degree...
Cybette @merajchhaya just made a public announcement of it, so don't be surprised to see all hell drop on you now :p In any case, I would take your job instantly, if you feel any kind of any sort of boredom from it, hehe, but I don't guarantee I won't ruin Nokia in a year (i can't keep my mouth shut, lol)
Btw, @merajchhaya, there's ALWAYS a new Nseries in the making :p but thanks for mentioning this one ;) I would've missed this jaiku if it wasn't for his post :)
Don't get me wrong, @cybette I didn't make a public post to overtake your job or anything, but just to create a rumour. I hope Nokia doesn't kill you, but in case they are looking for replacements, I'm just adding final touches to my CV lol
5 years with nokia, kaput with one jaiku, that would be really sad, especially when i didn't even say anything! like @khouryrt said, there's always a new device in the works, what's so special about this one? :P
oh btw, we are actually in need of integration engineers. not sure about the hiring schedule. anyone with symbian experience? (and sorry, as much as i admire you bloggers, blogging about symbian doesn't count :P)
The special thing is that you mentioned it lol. Don't worry you'll be many many years with Nokia to come, and I will join you in (hopefully) 6 years.
@vaibhavsharma, I take it that you know something something

@cybette just tell us it has a decent battery and we'll rest at that!
1 year, 3 months ago by vaibhavsharma
let's just say that the batteries are getting more and more decent in general! as for touch, it's a touchy subject, so i will not touch it :P
1 year, 3 months ago by cybette
@cybette Touch what, the subject or the device u are holding? :-> As for the batteries.. well thats a quite a generalisation, a dare say the N96 isnt a part of!
1 year, 3 months ago by vaibhavsharma

@matiasm well said! so guys, stop complaining when us girls keep you guessing, we're just trying to make things more fun for you ;)
1 year, 3 months ago by cybette
i agree, guessing is part of the fun for sure.. and is the surprise element of when it is announced, or launched, if it reached your expecatations
1 year, 3 months ago by MartY3
Lol @cybette so I'm guessing where are not going to be told about it very soon. What will the main focus of the device be?
1 year, 3 months ago by merajchhaya
@merajchhaya I am checking my email every five minutes! ;)
1 year, 3 months ago by vaibhavsharma
i wonder if it is a touch ui device.. hmmmm
1 year, 3 months ago by MartY3
main focus of which device? i actually have 3 unannounced devices on my desk at work, and a couple more on the desks of my neighbouring coworker. ;)
1 year, 3 months ago by cybette
Do they allow visitors? ;)
1 year, 3 months ago by R200
Wait...I was stressing about this one device, I couldn't take the suspense any longer, and now I'm informed that there are more than 3! I'm so working for Nokia when I get a degree...
