Does anyone have any idea if Nokia will be releasing any new 8 series phones? Ie the newest phone that followed the 8810, 8850, 8910, 8910i series? Becasue these are great phones and i would really like one with a camera and loudspeaker.

Its about time they released an updated handset to this range in my opinion!

What do you mean no use for Orange or O2? No use for Orange, but fine for O2 which is a 900Mhz network. Also, they said the 8920, not the 8290.
