Compare Satio final production unit samples and N8 proto's samples. Satio hands down. Compare latest products. Nokia X6 5MP (which actually is music centric phone still..) versus Nexus One or Wave 5MP, a huge difference you will see. Nokia N8 is future mobile camera prospectus at least for 1.5 year. I won't be surprised to see another Nokia beating N8 camera in future. But camera is not all about you know.

                the main point is giving their customer a new touch UI experience.. from the forum i read, i realize that some of the nokia users tired n bored by symbian UI.. new smartphone,new specification,but using same UI.. this kinda boring for user who seeking for newness.. hahaha..

                      yea, the ultimate phone would have meego/upgraded version of maemo on it... far more powerful, easier to use and designd for extremem multitasking. also, android can't handle mozilla's web browser, and wats a phone with a useless web browser? USELESS..

ARM 11 is not a processor but... moreeven though nokia is using the latest arm11 it is still gonna be slow then cortex a8.....for example a pentium 4 ht extreme is neva gonna beat a core2duo......the n8 would have been more better phone if it was using cortex.....and what up with hd video recording at 24 fps in n8 when there already phones with hd video recording at 30 fps in he market....is it because of the processor

                                        then they would have shocked the world since symbian3 is shockingly fast as it is

                                        imagine dual ARM 11 with 1500mhz battery ;)
                                        and 1ghz RAM like how the N900 has
