                I had a look at the reviews and they have reviewed it when its not finnished, why on earth would you review a phone that is not finnished, and it looks like they have degraded the photos on pupose to make the iphone look like a winner!!!! REALLY GUYS GIVE UP YOUR DAY JOB THERE NOT REALL REVIEWS!!!!!

                          Finally! A very balanced approach towards writing an article. It's sad that some people only want to highlight the negative aspects of everything these days, not only a device. I love the way you've expressed your view point and addressed the issue of biased opinions. I've always ONLY bought Nokia, whereas, members of the family have various other choices. To be honest, the others didn't impress me much. I've been using the E90 since the time it came out in India, and I'm sure it's going to be with me for a long time to come. Nokia might not make the most up-to-date and blazing fast devices, but they sure make much balanced and quality devices that go a long way. Nokia always for me! =)

                              It lose to Wave, iphone 4 and Pixon 12.

                              Not even can compare video shoot with Wave. But it only good in stereo sound recording.

                                      Well everybody is not as fast as tech freaks. Out of 100 people buying N8, only 20% may be as fast as lightning bolt. Rest 80% will be quite happy with their phone which is really HOT for them.
                                      N8 going to be mainly used as a cameraphone or better say as a Multimedia handset.
                                      GSMArena is good in reviewing and commenting on specs of each handset, but i request GSMarena tech freaks that they should not consider every people on earth as smart as them.
                                      Money is the factor which leads a N8 or iPhone or any Blackberry in hands of a person. No matter, Whether the buyer is Tech Freak or Tech Dumb. NOKIA is great in understanding this thing. They produce handsets to make Big Bucks. They do now want to woo tech freaks. Nokia is the name of True Business.

                                      N8 going to create Billions for NOKIA and sure to please Millions of people around the world. (Thousands of Tech Freaks Also Going To Boo N8, FOR SURE)
