    [deleted post]Yeah right, that's how a fashion photographer fooled people into thinking he was using a professional camera.

    It's not the camera it's how you use it.

          Duel, 12 Jul 2010Those model pics taken with iphone 3gs are the best i have ... moreMaybe iPhone 4 should first try to take on Nokia old N82 with 5mp and Xenon from 2 years ago before taking on the the N8 big boy camera.

          There is a reason why Nokia take home all the photo awards. Nokias camera don't need 10 high power studio lights and perfect light to take good photos. I doubt iPhone 4 can even take on the N82, none less the N8.

            Duel, 12 Jul 2010Those model pics taken with iphone 3gs are the best i have ... moreOK, you're free to believe that, but the N8 is truly a better cameraphone. In practice, the N8's lens and sensor count to make a good image, catching images at 4000x3000 and being able to scale the images from that pixel size gives the image great depth and density. The Xenon flash helps in low-light, a general advancement over LED flash, as it's able to replicate and capture light for optimum quality in low-light. Being able to record at 12mbit per second makes the video crisp during playback on TV. All these things count to make a great pic, trust me, the N8's image quality doesn't suck.

            This is what some of the people will care about if they are interested in a cameraphone. Now, all of this doesn't mean that the iPhone 4 is a bad cameraphone. The iPhone 4, as well as the 3Gs are AWESOME cameraphones, but the N8 is an advancement, that's the bottom line. If your eyes aren't able the difference between the two cameras, then that's fine, but a photogro-phile interested in a cameraphone will be and will go for the one that gives them the better advantage.

            I doubt many here are photogro-philes, but if you were interested in taking high-quality pictures and video, they would go for the N8. Again, not saying the iPhone 4 is bad, just pointing out the advantage, in this particular field.

                there are themes in the settings menu. And that is the way themes allways worked... its just when android and iPhone came along, they didnt make a big fuzz about themes, so I guess both people a reviewers forgot to check the out.

                What I would like to see is something like SPB mobile shell preinstalled, perhaps as a removable beta. Just so that reviewers and users in stores can se the potential Symbian has, when it comes to eyecandy. Nokia could do their own solution, or work with spb mobile shell... I think I would even pay for it at ovi-store to get the full version, even if I most of the time would have it disabled to get the most performance out of the phone and its battery.

                              Apple can never compare itself with Nokia N8.

                              Where is 5MP basic cam(IPhone4) and check out the amazing 12MP Sopisticated cam(Nokia N8).

                              By the way dont hold the IPhone4 the worng way. Lol!!

                              IPhone4 should bw termed as IPod.

                              Cheers!!

                                apple is doing very good too, check out the music videos made with iphone 4, there's some very impressive quality and very smooth video. I think it can compete with N8 video recording very well

                                    Nokia N 8 The King..

                                    Just imagine if this was about IPhone 4, people would only check if others are not holding the phone the wrong way. IPhone 4 is a JOKE.

                                    Get the Nokia N8.

                                    Atleast in this forum/ comments sections, people are discussing things in a decent way, but back at Apple IPhone 44, Nokia/ HTC/ SE/ & even Samsung will bash the IFans, serves them right.

                                    Nokia N8 is the BEST.

                                    Cheers!!

                                      Niraj, 12 Jul 2010Hi sea-breeze! I agree with you on these points.. :) BTW... moreThis is an idea that would certainly get a lot of customers to switch. It is simple but take a while to develop to create quality themes that people like that could be pre-installed on EVERY Symbian^3 phone. I think a small step further would be allowing people to choose what theme to install when they turn on the phone for the first time, similar to how Windows allows you to choose which web browser to install when starting Windows 7 for the first time. I noticed some people don't like Nokia's font, don't know why personally, but they don't. Having the idea that Niraj suggested with different fonts and icons is great and hope is one that could easily be implemented and should be implemented. If it isn't ready in time for the N8's release, it could easily be issued in a firmware update.
                                      Also, I wouldn't call this a theme but more a skin for the device on top of which different themes could be applied.
