For those who love nostalgia, then you might want to check out the Nokia N8 which will be the last of the N series devices to feature a Symbian operating system, where following that MeeGo will be the operating system of choice. Symbian will not just die off like that though, since Symbian^4 is in the works, but that will more or less grace mass market devices instead of smartphones. Does this in any way make the Nokia N8 a collector’s item?
