    i looked at the pictures on mobile review website and i have to say that i like the nokia n8 better in my opinion it gives the picture a more realistic feel . i thought that the samsung pixon 12 when in took a picture of the grass it was really green i have never seen grass that green or maybe its just not in trinidad but anyway i love the n8

      i simpli am very gllad that i found gsmarena because its the best website of mobile phones.most of the websites are unfair to one ore more brands.there is no such thing as impartial in a review.so even if i like gsmarena so much a have to point out one thing.that your love for samsung is obvious.and even if in my opinion you are the best gsmarena but you sometimes are not best informed.one example of the both: samsung pixon reviw, gsmarena says: "samsung is developing optical zoom for mobilephones,how about that nokia?" if you werent in love with samsung and be a bit more informed you would know that nokia made the N93 with optical zoom.and that was made in 2007 if am accurate.and you are idolizing samsung that they are only tring to make phones with opticall zoom 3 year later than nokia.i really like this website butt you could be better and please dont play favorits.im a smarphone fan not a particulari brand fan.so please for guys like me be more impartial

                reading all these reviews and comments help me make up my mind. The Nokia N8 is very good phone which some journalists simple don't like. But i like this phone from all those reviews. Owning one and testing it for one night can be very different. If you know what i mean.

                          I think all the Nokia haters, Apple Fanboys and bashers really need to just stop and say to themselves "I am pathetic". Fact is the "reviews" of the N8 by the likes of Gizmodo (which should be shut down for all the garbage they publish) were filled with bias and a general "un-journalistic" like approach to the handling of the phone. I think they prefer phones that provide only hype and shiny glass. Phones that lack basic features and glorify common features (FaceTime really?). So what the Fanboys and the bashers are trying to say is that Nokia won't succeed until they produce a load of s**t? Am I correct ladies and gentlemen? Seriously people let's grow up and keep our stupid half baked comments to ourselves.

                                  [deleted post]Sounds like those who go for iphone are morons n those who stick with nokia have 2000cc of brain instead of the avg 1600.

                                    Comparing any Nokia phone to the iPhone is ridiculous. Except if you'll be willing to stupidly say "Look how much I spent on a phone" I've held in hands so many brands of GSM phones, and the Nokias are always superior in their reception and so in the clarity of calls. There's no other phone brand that handles calls so trouble - free. Thats as simple as a fact.
                                    Users are buying A Telephone in the first place and after all that a personal toy ...

                                    Now, try making a normal call with iPhone... :D :D :D Impossible, right? :D :D :D

                                    + all can see the much better colour balance and image quality of the N8 over be it Pixon or iPhone or whatever, if not in the Nokia Fest article from GSM arena, here in this article too (look at the halo-pink-like red colour of the car photo from iPhone and the much more natural colour of the photo taken from N8)

                                      Seriously guys, Nokia have lot to offer via N8 like 12MP camera with large sensor, CZ wide optics, HDMI, 720p HD recording, BT 3.0, USB OTG, FM transm. aluminium body, lifetime free navigation and etc etc.. all at competitive price. I am not going to miss all these just because OS is not just eye candy. Its functional and fast (reviews have proved it), thats what I want.
