N8 is a good fone but just like Satio,just have a better battery,camera,HDMI & Dolby Digital Plus via HDMI...Nokia put a lot of things in N8 while CPU just 680 MHz processor and a BIG PROBLEM is Symbian OS.I dont know why Nokia keep using that OS for their fone.If they dont change to Meego or Android,they will lose,even though how good their fone

I think the pictures from Engaget is very bias. I have a Nokia X6, and shot better pictures than those N8 pictures in the comparison. Just wonder how much Apple paid them. I even compared to my friends' Ifone, and they were about the same cause 5mp vs 5mp with my x6. Engaget, stop lying plz.

Good work GSMArena. Paradigms and biases need to be set aside in the interest of the user. If the review is biased, finally the site will bear the impact - one way or the other.

Do we have to wait that long and get a slummy handset from Nokia? Hello Nokia, please look at others like iPhone, HTC, and even Samsung... they're quite far far better than you... Nokia R&D should wake up now.

I'm not american, but seriously, in term of UI, Symbian is inferior compared to iOS and Android, let alone Windows Phone 7 (don't care about BBOS).
Symbian guys should learn from Microsoft. There's no WOW factor at all in the Symbian^3, I should say.

I have been using the N8(pre-release version) for the past couple of weeks and I am very very happy with it. The camera is amazing and the battery is way better than my white iphone 4. We had a firework show last week and I took a video with it. Last night I hooked up my N8 with HDMI output to my 55" LCD TV and the video quality is amazing.
I think Nokia has finally got back into the game.
