    I'm not a Nokia fan myself, but when I saw the Nokia vs iPhone shootout on Engadget last week, I did feel that it was an unfair test on Nokia.

    2 of my favourite phone sites, I'm glad that one is trying to give the phone an unbiased review.

              [deleted post]And you are sure Eldar isn't getting his paycheck from samsung...? He does pronounce the benefits on Samsung products allaround these days, while dismissing or outright slamming competing products. Gee. "Truth".

                  The reason why I visit GSMarena is because of it's unbiased reviews and comments towards phones. Trustworthiness is what sets YOU apart from other phone reviewers. Keep it up!

                        no wonder what really those reviewers are..
                        those who respect themselves always like the product which works the way they want not the other way around. it should not be any company to tell you how should you do it.
                        grow up everybody.

                              nokia n8 12mp power-The CellScope technology
                              looks like a peculiar add-
                              on, being a large lens
                              that ’s attached to the rear
                              of the Nokia N8 (or other
                              Nokia handsets). Although
                              it did a great job of filming
                              Dot, the lens was actually
                              created to photograph
                              much smaller matter -
                              blood cells.
                              The CellScope lens was
                              originally developed in
                              order to diagnose malaria
                              in developing countries. by
                              a team at the University of
                              California. With the lens
                              attached, doctors are able
                              to see and take
                              photographs of blood cells,
                              and even send them via
                              MMS to other parts of the
                              world where they can be
                              scanned properly for
                              serious illnesses.

                                Nokia wants her phones to reviewed according to how they want it to be. A contrary review to this, they pick offences. Deceiving someone to spend his hard earn cash is unforgivable. Elder is not the problem, Nokia is.

                                  I personally can't believe. I was really impressed with Nokia N8's shot compared to Canon 550D DSLR camera. Some shots were a little favor to Canon (just a little), however, Nokia N8 shots at most produces more natural, more detail (when zooming at 100%, even Canon has 18MP compared to N8 with 12MP), and not too much exposed unlike the Canon! Keep it up Nokia!
