Anonymous, 26 Apr 2010The reviewer is right, horrible UI = horrible experience. ... moreThere is probably a reason why Nokia pushed S^3's release date to Q3. But you go ahead and keep sounding ignorant.

        nokia is in big trouble. Even as we speak, the iphone is planning to have powerful camera for their Gen 5 models by contracting sony to OEM.
        Now, this N8-00 hardware has been ready for months, since it is nothing but the same hardware core with the Sony Satio, yet the OS is far far from ready. NOkia software development team is not doing their job, very disappointed.

            I was really looking forward to the next nokia phone....but this doesnt cut it.Nokia really need to wake up if they want to compete with the other brands. While the hardware seems good, we all know about their extremely buggy software. Might as well change my brand till something better comes along.

              I can't really trust anything that comes from the thief Eldar. He hates Nokia because they got tired of his thievery. He STOLE the N900 and countless other Nokias and I'm sure the same has happened with this N8.
              I prefer to get my reviews from the unbiased GSMArena.

                    I don't get it. What is Nokia thinking? They have a great platform to work on (see Maemo) and they are still trying to improve their old ugly/buggy OS.

                        If they really wanted to copy why did they copied the LG Km 900 Arena?

                          Nokia might make and sell loads of phones, but Ford sells loads of cars, doesnt mean they are the best.

                            Looks good imo, hope the UI is FUNCTIONAL who the f**k cares if it the icons aren´t flashy, as long as it does what it should (and as always Symbian has more functions then any other UI).

                                I think this is a very early version of Symbian ^3 or this is the reason why the release date was pushed. This clearly looks like a early beta version OS.

                                  Symbian^3 UI is very flexible, alot more so than other OS's currently available. What you are seeing here is the stock theme and once theme developers and developers get producing themes and apps, with more functional widgets.

                                  I actually like the design of this phone and I know my next handset will be Nokia, the services they offer are simple unparalleled these days.
