Anyone can sign-in to Mac sites and pretend to be iphone users. Remember that fake Steve Jobs twitter account saying that Apple is recalling iphone4's? The iphone4 does have issues, but impostors make more ones up and exaggerate on existing ones. And that is why I said, people are better of getting first hand information themselves than trust bloggers.

Mp3 manufacturers nvr understand this n now phone manufacturers. Can you imagine nokia release only N8 and have a share like today? I bet no. But apple gained share by expanding product line rather than same product with diff design. SE is worst. How many xperia they wanna release LOL

Allot of interference.
Dark display, bit gr... moreThe iphone4 has way better signal than the 3gs. As long as you avoid gripping that little slit at the lower left side of the phone, which is quite easy to avoid, you will be vert happy with the iphone4.
I have not experienced any interference with my iphone like the other guy stated.
The display is just glorios. I don't know how the other guy could say that it has a dark display, when its display is simply the best out there.
Its battery has dramatically improved compared to the 3gs. It lasts me a day and a half now, with heavy use.
It never froze on me and I never had to reboot.
Readers be careful. There are a lot of haters in here who pretend that they have an iphone when they really don't. I suggest you go test it out yourself or ask someone you know personally who has the iphone4. Websites have become infested with liars, impostors and haters. It is sad, but that's the truth.

Weak signal,
Allot of interference.
Dark display, bit grey-ish
Not really long life battery.
Have had to reboot few times.
Freezes.
I think there are lot more errors on this phone and apple knows. They cant expect you to hold it with a different hand just because they say so. If you pay £600, you expect a bit more?
It still stays a nice looking phone and great functionality, but for you buying it too, be sure you are ok with future problems, unless you are lucky with yours.

Why?, 30 Jun 2010Why are you people telling that Nokia N8 is slow just becau... moreAnd N8 has a second HWA dedicated CPU but that is not important.
D you see the massive number of androids out there? Nokia stayed in top by providing a huge amount of mid range devices.
I think Android is taking over big time... there's samsung sony and htc making androids... Neither Apple Nor Nokia can compete with 3 distinct manufacturers...

Why are you people telling that Nokia N8 is slow just because it has a arm 11 680mhrz processor. I say LOL. Even N900 is much faster than 3GS but they have the same processor. It is proven that N900 is even a bit faster than some of the phone that have 1GHRZ processor. So N8 is not slow. Have you even tried it? It should be a bit faster than N900.

I posted yesterday problems I'm experiencing with my iphone. One of them being people not receiving my sms and vice versa. Call Apple for help and they told me I do a restore. Did it and it did not solve that problem. Called At&t todat. Turns out that At&t are the ones that needed to activate or update my sms setting in their end for my iphone4. I am now able to send and receive on my iphone4 just fine. Love it :)
I'm still waiting for the yellow streak to totally disappear though.

The only reason why apple sells more phones is that they release a 1 phone in 2 years. I mean If Nokia or samsung and the others would so so shurely people would be more interested in them and buy them much more. That is a fact and you know it. I mean if like N8 would be the first phone from Nokia in 2 years it would sell around 1 million in it's fist day. IT IS A FACT.

This should how the keynotes be delivered w/out exaggeration, unlike Apol with "magical vocabularies" for simple tech that was already used by cheaper phones "mind you" BY CHEAPER PHONES,

IT Person, 30 Jun 2010 Nokia N8 vs iPhone 4—Ten Things Why Nokia N8 Is Better
NO... moreWell, 8 things the N8 doesn't have compared to iPhone:
External uninsulated antennae that cause dropped calls and slow internet connections.
Screen and back made out of cheap glassy material that both scratches and cracks.
Dead pixels and light leakage on the "Retina" display.
Inverted volume controls on some units.
SIM cards don't work in some units.
Camera doesn't work in some units.
Proximity sensor doesn't work in some units.
Microphone doesn't work in some units.

Nokia N8 vs iPhone 4—Ten Things Why Nokia N8 Is Better
NOKanIA N8
Here they are :
Price
One of the biggest advantage of Nokia N8 over the iPhone 4 is the price. With the price tag of €370 euros before taxes and subsidies, and converting it to pounds would give us £300. Comparing to the iPhone 4 (unlocked) 16GB with a price of £499 and £599 for 32GB. Therefore making the Nokia N8 much cheaper for a smartphone with cool multimedia features and especially Symbian^3 os.
Design... See More
We admit that the iPhone 4 is slimmer, but there are consequences on this, like on the camera performance e.g. zooming and sensor size. For the color variants of Nokia N8, the mass is already have a wide choice for their taste on the color. There are currently 5 anodized casing for N8 the dark grey, silver white, green, blue and orange For the iPhone 4, there are two the white and the black (no pun intended) and obviously I don’t like that my phone is mistakenly identified by others as an iPhone 3GS or iPod touch.
Video Call
The limitations of Apple facetime for the Wi-Fi connection and iPhone to iPhone is what Nokia already solved and made possible long time ago to their devices. So in N8 you will not be bounded by connections and you will get connected for the video calls in any capable devices.
HDMI + Dolby Surround
Another one few specs that a 2010 smartphone have is the HDMI connection where you can connect to your home theatre. With HD TV you will get a crisp and clear visual treatment as well as with your sound with the Dolby Digital Plus.
Memory
The Nokia N8 has a 16GB internal storage plus giving you a chance to add an external hot swappable microSD card up to 32GB.
USB On-the-Go
If 48GB of storage is not enough for you then consider this USB on-the-go feature where you can read and make slave USB sticks from external hard drive like on this 250GB hdd.
Usability (Reception issue)
If you’re afraid to get a bad reception just because of the phone’s inability to not allow you to have a proper grip, well, isn’t that obvious that this could be one of the biggest mistake that Cupertino company made? Eventhough Nokia N8 isn’t launched yet, we all know that this Finnish giant have more than 1 billion of devices out there and we never have the incidents where people protests just because of the reception issue.
Sensor
To have the biggest camera sensor in the field of camera phones—and even bigger than the other p&s cameras—means that we are having the right innovations. By the size of the N8 and to its one of a kind features, it really shows that this is an advance feature that Nokia N8 will hold against competitors.
Xenon flash
It is still a strong advert of manufacturers that LED flash can provide you enough light for taking pictures. But it is still a fact that xenon flash are the one who leads in the technology of flash for compact cameras as well as to mobile phones. What Nokia did is they reduced the size of the flash to 30% less compare to Nokia N82 & without losing the power.
Editing software & Ovi Maps are free (Symbian^3)
If you’re phone has an HD capable video recording and Symbian^3 on N8 has an on-board video editor and without pulling some extra bucks from your pocket, of course. The same on Ovi Maps, neither we need a connection nor we would pay for it. That is really the magic of Nokia, bringing us connected anywhere and anytime.
