Well, it appears that Nokia will finally pull its head out of its ass come September, says an industry insider according to the Guardian. At Nokia World, the mobile phone giant is expected to debut an Android-powered touch-screen device. Will it be powered by Intel? Eh. Who knows, but I hope it’s true and that they’ve finally realized that Symbian needs to be put out to pasture. Has anyone hacked their N810 to run Android?

Awesome news. Makes me glad I returned my e71x when I did – which was entirely due to Symbian.
I know, right? I reviewed the e71 and what a great piece of hardware it was…. but symbian just couldn’t keep up.
Looking forward for the first Nokia Android phone. I hope that this would work well.
I guess Nokia is abandoning the Symbian OS. It’s a good thing they are because many of their hardware is nice but their OS gets slow and ends up dragging along. I might consider buying a Nokia phone if they movie to the Android platform.

Hopefully android will take over completely soon.
yowza this immediately puts Nokia on my possibilities list.
Yup, on the possibilities list.
yep, got my n810 running android, but it’s totally unusable (in terms of speed).
Nokia + Android + Intel = what I want.
Nokia = best mobile phone maker with many options to choose from.
Android = most customisable mobile o/s
Intel = fastest o/s
