People who said iOS devices are the first mobile to have skype video call, N900 is the first to have it way back in May 2010. Moreover it comes with the phone and don't need an app.

Alui, 01 Jan 2011"I have been reading your comments Alui and it seems y... more"(iphone4)Is cheaper than N8 in some places"
-i love to live on that place.
"6200 what? if it were true, it would have sold better than iPhone 3, don't uoy think?"
-i think he's talking about apple's restrictions. I don't believe specs sells most of the time. All my classmates want an iphone, and they don't even know things like clock speed and resolution(yeah they're not tech geeks like me, when i try to explain, they don't even look like they're interested). They like iphone cause it's cool. And it can do games and music and apps installation, what a magical device! And very expensive so it must be of top quality(i'm not doubtful).
"well, I just want to calm down thos ewho say N8 is THE BEST. The is no THE BEST smartphone, yet."
-you don't have to take them seriously. If you think there's no best smartphone yet, don't you think that's enough? Though i will get irked if someone says iphone is the best because i hate apple's restrictions, iphone has the amazing ability of dumbing people down(connecting to itunes just to delete a file, wut?). Iphone is good for what it does, but not on a broad category that is smartphones. Yeah, you can hate me now.

Mark, 01 Jan 2011@Alui So has Android managed to fix the random messaging... moreSounds like you know what you're talking about. You should also probably know that for this bug to be replicated you got to be doing some pretty specific things right? Its not like it happens to every text you send... Stop reading titles of blogs and assuming things.

[deleted post]"attacking Apple, America". The
truth is, that the USA is only 8% of the
world's mobile phones. The view of
what is the iPhone and Apple's
popularity in the USA does not
translate to the rest of the world. While anyone would want an iPhone, it is
simply too expensive for the rest of
the world. It cannot be a mass market
phone in any market, ever. I think this
is a worthwhile argument for Nokia
(and others like HTC, Samsung, Motorola, RIM etc) to make. And on
USA vs Europe, the truth is, Robert
Scoble, that US phones are backwards
and Asian and European phones are
ahead. Look again at what you have
now. The new phones? Not every one of US new phones has a forward-
facing camera. Apple only put it on its
phones in 2010. Nokia had them on
all 3G phones as far back as 2005.
What of Near Field, what of QR code
readers, what of HD output, etc. US phones are still behind, today. This is a
valid point by Nokia. Of Apple's 15
improvements to its iPhone in the past
4 years, 14 were standard features of
Nokia phones in 2006, BEFORE the
iPhone 2G even launched. And the last of the 15, half of that (half retina
display) was on a Nokia phone in
2008. It is a fair argument to show
that Europeans have demanded far
more advanced smartphones for
many years before the Americans discovered smartphones, and Nokia
has a deep understanding of that. Why
is it that Apple's original iPhone didn't
support multitasking, or MMS, or
videocalling etc etc etc. Apple did
understand the PC world, and it optimized the iPhone to be a 'pocket
computer' like the son of the Apple
Newton, but it was not designed to be
a modern smartphone - as you know,
Robert, the original iPhone 2G didn't
even allow users to install apps to it. I do not mean that Nokia is miles away
ahead today. I do mean, that Nokia
has been developing consumer-
oriented smartphones far longer
than Apple or Google or Microsoft (or
Palm or RIM) and they, Nokia, do know a lot about what consumers
want. They - Nokia only in its
smartphones - clearly outsell the total
handset production of Apple, RIM,
Google branded Nexus phones,
Microsoft's defunct Kin phones and all Palm smartphones - combined.

@Alui
So has Android managed to fix the random messaging bug where it sends text to the wrong people?
Your 'wonderful' Android OS can't even reliably do that and you think it's better than Symbian?
LOL!

-true
"I am a little surprised you said Nokia has got the worst browser of them all are you aware Symbian is launching ....i stand corrected has already launched the improved browser and they have also mentioned they will continue R&D on the Symbian^3 platform"
-read any review of N8 and you will see the same opinion as mine.
"I have no grudges agains iPhone but seriously i think its overhyped and overprices"
-Is cheaper than N8 in some places
"My old Nokia 6220C has better features than iPhone 3
i mean seriously you know it "
-6200 what? if it were true, it would have sold better than iPhone 3, don't uoy think?
"but again it is a phone a beautifully crafted phone and i have no issues with the fact"
-you talk about iPhone 4, right?:)
"surprises me that you are such a hater and you keep doing it over & over again"
-well, I just want to calm down thos ewho say N8 is THE BEST. The is no THE BEST smartphone, yet.
"seriously if you are so much into tehnicalities then there is no perfect phone for you but i guess you will soon fuse th iOS & Android platform together and get the phone you desire"
-you read my mind:)
"for us who are Nokia loyals will like to leave it that way
i have seen iPhone 3 & wa lucky to see iphone 4 which my cousin got from Australia great games wonderful screen to stare at but there is nothing i find short in N8 that i would find in iPhone"
-I'm only loyal to my hard worked for money:). I'm not picky to a product just because of the brand. If Nokia will launch a phone I would like, well, I will buy it. But slim chance about that.
"you dont like it we GEDDIT!!!! now stop trolling"
-I don'l like brand, or any kind of fanatics, "GOT IT?":) This is a forum open to discussion, so when you reply to an opinion is not trolling. Trolling is when you lie about something(saying N8 is the BEST smartphone, for example:) ).

Anonymous, 31 Dec 2010u piss me off
iph has largest jailbroken unofficial apps ... moreand what all of these amazing features do to people in countries other than USA?
another thing people are investing too much in a brand it feels just like the internet back when it started and oh how am waiting for the iphone market bubble bursts and oh yeah most of the games you mentioned they are either coming or already are on S^3 which to honest is a bad way to use a smartphone (Games are for passing time which means angry birds or cut the rope if you play other than those two games you have way too much time on your hand and no body told ya yet but when you recharge your batteries very often (playing games will get you there) your batteries will die ahead of scheduled so good luck with that.

Alui, 01 Jan 2011iPhone 4 has wonderful games, most apps, and looks amazing,... morewth r u talking about? the n8 HAS autofocuss. running out of ideas to use for your trolling eh?
in the next major update, symbian will get a new ui, a better browser with html5 and flash 10.1 support. i dont see anything to complain about the capable broadcom bcm 2727 gpu. and new apps are already available for symbian 3. did ios and android started off with 300k and 100k apps respectively? guess not....

In Saudi Arabia , where I live , distributers are having difficult time to convince people into buying an N8 . The phone got its price slashed by 30% in three months . Still most people would prefer the known to every one Korean brand when shopping high end . For most people Nokia is a winner only in the low end basic non feature phones .

iPhone 4 has wonderful games, most apps, and looks amazing, Android phones have Flash 10.1, N8 has a good camera but without focus(for artistic effect you want the subject in focus and the background out of focus sometimes). So there is no perfect phone. But for sure N8 can be the best phone since it lacks three important features: graphics, apps, flash 10.1. Also has the worst browser of them all.
