Never had any ram issues with Symbian Anna update. I always found Nokia performs differently on differenfly on different networks. In same area with same level coverage the N8 would differ. The x10 had a tendency to have its signal randomly vanish for a few seconds then come back again. Many new Xperia phones still do it too. Just jumps up and down

I disagree. Nokia N8 couldnt touch my X10 at keeping a good signal in weak areas, even my GS2 isnt as good as my X10,
What I said about the signal is not my own opinion!
It's a known thing by everyone really..
Symbian's design and purpose was meant for telephony before anything else!
This is one of the major differences between it and the modern OSes..
And note that it's not only the antenna and the software that only affects the overall signal! There are few more factors as well..
and memory handling was a disaster in Symbian, the RAM leaked like crazy and the only way to sort that out was a reboot every week or so. With Android id go months without having to reboot, and with the GS2 having a hot swappable sim slot i havent turned it off since updating it to 2.3.6 around a month ago, in Symbian that was hardly possible.

I meant by memory handling is that at the basic OS level it requires way less RAM than all modern OSes to fully operate..
Memory leaks from the browser or some third-party apps are another topic..

Upon boot up the N8 always had about 131mb ram free. Almost as much as some Androids have left. I noticed that many modern OS seems to have alot worse signal and call clarity it takes a back seat to software and features

I was wondering how is the battery life with the new update? I read people claiming 3 times more battery life on gsmarena, which to me sounds like really impossible.
I too think symbian was very good as a telephone, had good battery life, performed well on even 300mhz.. Its only after the touch era that it started lagging behind. With belle, symbian or Nokia OS, is highly comparative to android. I would really want to have a belle device as a second phone..

False morel
End of the day what matters to me, the user, is if my phone can keep a signal even when its weak, and Symbian was no different to others at this, some Symbians like the E61 were great at keeping a good signal, others like the N8 werent so great.

My GS2 has around 600-700mb available at boot, but thats not the point, my point is that of that 131mb available at boot on the N8 at the end of the week (without rebooting) id have around 70mb after closing all open apps if i was lucky, with Android the system cleans itself, i could go to sleep with 200mb available RAM and wake up with 600-700mb free again, i never have to reboot.

@djin did you mean Lumia utpdate battery life or N8?? The Lumia update was a cocky up by Nokia as it did nothing to change the battery life. But they have again heard the complaints and are working on another update. They are trying. As for Symbian Anna update I never noticed difference in the battery no. All new N8 devices now will ship with Belle say Nokia. Belle is good. As for ram I see your point there but also the GS2 does have 1 gig ram. Even my Android phone I have to reboot sometimes to refresh ram. It's healthy to do it once a day according to SE.

It is good to reboot your phone now and then, but it shouldnt be something that has to be done too frequently, maybe once every month or so.
In the days of the P990 a daily reboot was understandable.

@djin. The update did nothing for my battery life. Yes I can charge it to really full and the given hours are correct. I changed back to previous FirmWare to find out exactly and now, after a few days, I just don't get a full day out of it. not even from dusk till dawn. But, there are people who claim to get 4 days. I bet they have all connections turned of and only look once a day to see if it's still running. New FW does make Lumia800 run a bit smoother, as if that was possible

Yes as it's smooth anyway. When I did the update at first battery seemed better but then went worse again
I have a feeling something in the Lumia is not receiving the battery correctly
