          just 500$ for such a package! this model is gonna dwarf every other model out there... and i am sure once customizations of the UI are available(i hope symbian^3 is open source and there should be a lot being developed once the phone released)every symbian hater and iphone hugger will scramble for reasons to hate nokia for a little more time...

            About the CPU of the N8, it uses 600+ Something. . . And thats it, but Sony Ericsson uses an ARM TYPE CPU with an 0penGL ES 2.0 on the Satio, white both Satio and Vivaz including Vivaz Pro has a PowerVR SGX535 GPU, that could process a straggering 28million Triangles/sec, even w/o GPU on VIVAZ, it still manage to Outdo the N8 CPU, cuz Vivaz uses a 720Mhz CPU. . .XD

Yes it lacks HDMI and 12MP camera, but Wave is very much faster than N8, has bluetooth 3.0, Super AMOLED with certainly higher resolution, 1500mAh battery, etc."

              OK, Cool. The only problem is that it is a Samsung / Dengping / Pjonyang... whatever Korean copy-paste trash.

              Samsung may be impressive on paper. But it is missing the services Nokia offers. And, afterall, it is still a cheap plastic phone from Far East.

                  theres no way this phone gonna cost 370 euros. im pretty sure it will be like 550 to 600 euros, considering the specs and that it will be the first to use symbian^3

                      SE 2010, 27 Apr 2010By the way as far as I recall galaxy s doesn't have a flash... moreTotally agree with you. Samsung Galaxy looks promising at first, but it lacks the basic. A 5mp camera with NO flash? C'mon!
                      Now nokia came out with this N8, this is a really good one. All the specs needed + HD recording.
                      Thank you Nokia

                                The design is the same as a LG Cookie. Features are off the SE Satio.

                                still NO match for the iPhone

                                  Hi, all people who hates nokia so much and saying that android and iphone UI is better. I got samsung spica; android with 800 MHZ processor. I was using E61, N81, E51 before. My samsung got hang more times in 1 month than my nokia phones in its whole time extent. Few similar kind of application are better run on E61 which is having 269 MHZ processor. My E51 was like lightening. I missed so many calls on my samsung. Nokia reception is most trustworthy. Even 1or 2 tower make u talk pretty nice. I can't transfer files with my android mobile. Pictures at night are better with my N81 2 MP than samsung spica [3.2 MP]

                                  And now regarding iPhone 3G, i used it only for 6 days. I used to get almost 20 calls a day, i missed almost 7 calls a day. Iphone UI is fast because only one application runs at a time. Music is good, but i get almost similar kind of music with good head set on N81.

                                  This is my opinion. People may differ. But u can't hate nokia, because it is nokia. :P
