Nokia N8 gets severely tortured, lives to tell the story

A unibody anodized aluminum chassis and a reinforced glass over the panel make the Nokia N8 certainly look like one of the sturdiest smartphones around. And the Finnish company is keen to show just how...

            Bluetooth 3.0, FM Transmitter, THE BEST camera EVER that records best HD video, Xenon Flash, AMAZING build quality, GREAT Graphics processor, USB OTG, Qt support, Will be upgraded in future (UI upgrade included), etc....
            Most of the competition can't even think of having these features. N8 is the future buddy, it holds more potential than any other phone on the market right now..........It's not the technology, it's what you do with it!"

              I wonder why Nokia India didn't provided exclusive features about N8's outstanding finish(in variety of colors of cours!)and compare it with other giants in market?!

                What I am trying to say is that this tests stand for all phones not just this N8. Probably every model at Nokia goes through this test and has to make it. At least the serious models (E%N). To make my point exact: This video Is NOT impressive.

Android, on the other side is a great OS, with the best UI, but it needs more years for developers to create as much applications as Symbian.

                                      not anyone wants android,try to understand. i want symbian because i can use many hacked free applications like very good gps softwares and games and other stuff that are not already hacked or hard to find for other o.s. i love the way it makes zoom on pictures with to fingers,i love digital zoom with no distorsion because of cropping picture from full 12 mp sensor wich work at full capacity even on movie mode. this is a premiere even for digital dedicated cameras. i love it can read through usb my 32 gb memory stick with divx hd movies, over 8000 songs and tons of pictures. the best mobile on the planet and symbian3 is a big step forward for every one wich want to think logical not making useless comments. 90% of people on this forum have a cheap s.e. or l.g. in their empty pockets. envy!!!
