Nokia N8 first official video demo comes out, not bad at all

28 May, 2010
Nokia has obviously put a lot of eggs in the N8 basket and is keen to convince us that it's a phone worth having. Nokia has just released the first of a trilogy of videos that demonstrate the new Symbian^3 user interface...

      Nokia was the best mobile phone manufacturer before. was.

      I hope they can keep up, because right now? Symbian really didn't move a lot... from oh, let's say the Nokia 7650.

        Nokia makes amazing hardware. Too bad their OS sucks. I wish they'd adopt Android. An N8 running Android would be an outstanding phone.

              there's to much people here that hates N8 or Nokia..
              can i ask why??
              if you really dont like the phone, no one is forcing you to like it..
              dont buy it, buy iphone or samsung galaxy s or HTC evo..

              it just funny to see people saying that android is better or iphone or etc..

              but the truth is they so like this phone that they are so pissed off coz of the OS.. sorry guys, poor you..

                  Symbian already has enough features . Nokia just need to focus more on eye candy.

You want a touch screen device thats primary function is games then buy a DS but if you want something that gives a much nicer experiance as a phone and an internet device then you buy yourself a damn multi-touch capacitive capable handset. As for the N97 thats one of the biggest fails of a phone I've ever seen in my life

                          Seriously the people that claim to be long term nokia fans neeta' get a grip, the company has went majorly downhill after their adoption of the Symbian OS and the age it seem to take them to realize capacitive screens are the way to go made it even worse. And for the record the guy that posted about a 12mp camera big f*ckin woop, after 3.2mp it doesn't REALLY matter its more about lens quality, and the screen quality on the new iphone is gonna be much nicer for viewing photos, which most people will tend to use for viewing photos. God when will Nokia now just die and stop plaguing our shops with lifeless products

                            Nokia N8 is awesome. The video however is terrible and I really hope it doesn't qualify as marketing material.

                            The SMS view needs more work (its obviously flickery and choppy). Homescreen switching could be made snappier too (it probably looks slow because it changes *after* the dragging is finished, and it probably changes like that because of the homescreen's UI limitations but still...)

                            Hopefully things will be ironed out before the release :)

                              Niraj, 30 May 2010Yes, many Nokia users are also not happy with capacitive to... moreThat's true, i em old symbian user, and the symbian OS is, it must have resistive touch screen to be able to operate successfully, and the capacitive it's strong glass, but is useless..., wot makes you think guys i shall punch the phone screen with hot-dogs like Koreans was playing games on iphone few month a go.
                              The N97mini have hard resistive screen, i got my self a new one, because i don't want to have this N8 because of it's capacitive screen!
                              If anyone you guys are serious symbian user than i guess you better go for N97 than this one!

                                you know what you can access flash drives like pen drives and same directly by connecting to your n8!it has got usb support on the go.
                                bye bye pc!
                                they have a video at engadget.

                                        If you look at around 30 seconds it lags and nokia edited that out. Very poor, it will lag and nokia knows this and hides it by editing the video. Very poor edit too.
