The N8 destructs all of the phones you mention, and before you start yapping, no CPU speed in itself means nothing. Kthxbai

          This is the price I expected the phone to be released at, not 470 Euro. Within 3 months, the price will fall to around 400 Euro or US$500 or maybe a bit lower.

              A very high price for an outdated phone. N8 is all about the camera with xenon flash, if you want a more alround phone then buy HTC Desire. Symbian is famous for its many crashes and this is still just a modified Symbian OS with low screen resolution and traditionally nokia-small battery, and the battery is not easily removable wich will be a BIG problem because of Symbians many crashes where removing the battery is the only solution.

                I remember that 370 euro was before taxes and subsidies. That article is still there on nokia conversation blog.

                  GSMarena have mostly fairly accurate reporting but I have to make a point that the 370 euro was meant to be BEFORE taxes.

                  Not a fanboy, but the tone of the article re the price was a bit harsh, especially when the article info was wrong in the first place.

                      companies often raise pre-order prices above the RRP...fairly normal.

                        decent specs but processor is too slow. 600mghz gets slow very quickly. A phone with such specs and price should at least have 1ghtz

                          This is a very stable phone with lots of features...worth paying the money...Happened to see the few days old prototype phone.

                            that price puts N8 on par with Galaxy S in my country... unfortunatelly for nokia my price limit for cameraphone is 400 Euro. Otherwise i would buy n8 "on sight" :-)

                              Well its looks like the #N8 is going to be another due from Nokia. Again buy the Wave and rate while getting a vastly better package.
