N9 has some awesome hardware, interesting to see the results.

 

[napster007]

Awesome!

 

[MANOfJosh]

Now if that is true and successful, it merges the best of hardware,build quality with the Tasty Os out there,

 

[Neo]

Awesome.
Then there can hopes of its port to N8.

N8 hardware is cr@p(this coming from a nokia enthusiast), apart from the cam(which is the best).

My bro bought it for its cam about 4 months ago. So if ICS gets ported to N8 , I'll snatch it from him
But the h/w is crap , so there are less chances. Let me hope for the best.

play angry birds at slideshow rate. low memory error cause of 256Mb ram !!! 600Mhz processor with some crap broadcomm GPU (yes Adreno200 in our mobile is better).

But still ICS would be better than Anna and Belle (haven't tested it yet though).

but N8 lacks the power to drive ICS properly. moreover unless someone is ready to waste a month or more tweaking the sources, trying the open source drivers or writing his own, Android won't be a smooth experience on any of the current Symbian mobiles. moreover camera is the deal breaker as its the hardest part to get working in case of Android.

Porting to N9 is much easier than other nokias because N9 is based on meego... Porting to N8 will be like writing whole code again......

 

[Neo]

But porting from N9 to N8 would be easier.

 

[coderunknown]

N8 & N9 have totally different internals

 

[Askana]

waiting to see how this turns out

Running Android on N8 is IMPOSSIBLE!

 

[Neo]

It is possible. :beer::beer::beer:

 

[rajan1311]

It is possible. :beer::beer::beer:

[Neo]

Not that bad considering it's a phone from 2010. It's GPU was actually pretty good for the time and pretty decent even today.

However, I do doubt it can run ICS smoothly. It should do Froyo fine though....

(But of course it seems it's not possible to run android on the N8)
