    SE 2010, 27 Apr 2010Ok I'm sorry and you have a point dude :) But C'mon now ... moreSeriously, stop insulting people. I have never been a Samsung fan, I used to love SE, but their support is just terrible. They weren´t able to fix a stupid and annoying task manager bug after 3 firmware updates!
    Galaxy S is a great phone, and not everybody needs flash.

        wait, i thought they said nokia will delay the symbian^3. so when exactly this phone is released? and by the time of the release the competitors will surely come up with much better spec and features. 12mp is no longer the hype we want to hear these days. but HDMI output sure sounds nice.

        whatever it is you're doing right now nokia, do it fast and release this phone already!

          But C'mon now how can you not call this device a flag ship have you read the specs well??? 50 hours of music!! 12 camera + xenon + HD. The first HDMI port for a cellphone in the world? 3G with five bands, this is way beyond sexy!! Are you serious! How can you just ignore all this?? You should be fair my friend and since your an htc fan this means you have what it takes to understand me, the only people with limited brain abilities are apple+samsung users hehe :)

            Anyway N8's the most attractive point is its price. I don't say its performance is great, but its spec is good enough, considering its price.

                I have never mentioned Galaxy S in my comment before You are picking it. See how you're "biased" to pick unrelated phone to attack, while calling another person "biased."

                Anyway, I don't call N8 a flagship- there is a way faster and more expensive Nokia N900 which I personally like.

                    The camera performance will not be s good as n95... Look at the back......2.8/2.8 which means the lens quality is low

                          Nokia yet again comes with the best entertainment value device. Buy-buy Att. I like your iPhone but this is a better alternative with T-Mo even more plan.

                            chocoberry, 27 Apr 2010I'm sorry to have a DSLR camera with an GN58 external flash... moreOk than stick to HTC because they are way more decent and they don't have any flagships with no flash lool.

                            Look the thing is that you need to stop being very picky on silly things will ya?? This device is just great! My only concern is how well built is the hardware, other than that regarding specs it owns others.

                            So stop picking on silly things ok? It's just annoying and shows that your a bias person, be fair and when others do a god job salute them instead of making them look bad :)

                            Cheers!

                                And all you can pick up is a 5MP camera w/o flash.

                                And thank you for calling me a Samsung fanboy, and I'm actually more biased to HTC.

                                  i really hope symbian can be a better alternative for windows mobile and androids os.. Nokia should put more effort improving the symbian os..make it more competitive..do take android and windows mobile as benchmark..i am sure if Nokia do that..people will love it..!

                                    Quickest Review Ever.
                                    Well done, but with your potentials you still could have done better.
                                    You could have used 480*800 instead of the 360*640pixel. 3.7' as against 3.5'(still ok) 512MB RAM instead of 256MB.
                                    1GHZ to replace the 680mhz, pls pls pls threaded SMS and the battery could have been 1500 instead of 1200.
                                    But i must say that the 50hrs music pb is really good.
                                    Overall good multimedia phone but not a workforce personal assistant.

This is April's fool,no way Jose, not in a million years,i reckon it will be more around 699 euros or a hundred more even.Unless the N10 is just around the corner with a 24mm Ultra-Wide angle Leica lens,with 1080p Full HD video recording and a superAmoled screen and a 14.1 Megapixels camera...bla bla bla

                                        I like this device too because of the HDmi ouput

                                        Samsung wave and the n8 are both great devices but i would prefer the wave if it would have an appstore with many apps....

                                        the n8 has bad display so i will wait for a geego device = )
