I was just explaining why there are so many comments on here. And it's because of nokia fanboys attacking android and ios devices and users, and so, ios and android users react. That is the reason why there are a lot of comments on here. Not because the n8 is an amazing device, lol. If it's an amazing device, it will sell more than the iphone or other android devices. It obviously is not :)

      Btw, iphone4 sold over 10 million units in 3 months :)

Now there are mouse so small and compact that you can fit it into your pocket, one example for the use of the mouse is when im playing angry birds, i have fat fingers and i sometimes cant see where im aiming my birds when in large maps or when i zoom out, with the mouse i can aim and see my birds at the same time.

            Dude, i have the freaking n8 and i have tried it a-hole, i compared the pics taken from my n8 together with pics taken from my n82 through the hdmi port and the 5mp pic only takes up 1/3 of the space. if you dont have it dont make idiot** assumptions. u ask people not to shoot himself on the foot and yet i can see many bullets holes on your feet.....maybe some in your ass too.

            My carrier is hotlink btw

              The headphone jack is better insulated against noise that your FM transmitter. Do a test yourself and talk after.


              "What, no native client? How... clumsy. And MusicBox? LOL! "Create your own ringtones" or, alternatively, just use the song like Symbian allows you to."

              Usually a song does not start with the best part. With the free Ringdroid you get the part you like as a ringtone(also you can use the whole song). BTW, FYI MusicBox is an app for downloading free mp3's. The player is well, the "Music Player".

              Well that's ironic considering you didn't know the number of widgets the N8 has per screen and that, as the N8 supports Open GL ES 2.0 it actually will use the GPU to decode Flash 10.1

              First of all the N8 does not have half the OpenGL 2.0 extensions Samsung Galaxy S has(see GLBenchmark).
              So far only Android 2.2 and 2.3 support Flash 10.1. Until we can see Flash 10.1 on N8 you better keep it down about it. It will be embarrassing if N8 will never run Flash 10.1.

                So you use a mouse as big as the phone to use the phone? Smart boy:)!

                "There is a lot of difference when you compare a 12 mp photo and a 5 mp photo on a hd tv. I tried that, the 12 mp will be shown in fullscreen while a 5mp photo will only be shown 1/3 of the screen."

                Please, we all have TV's, so where did you got the 1/3 BS?

                "Wow, do you travel around the world the daily, in my country ive seen a lot more n8 than a wave. Ive only seen 1 wave only btw

                you must have some wicked carier cause mine charge by kb."

                Not daily but monthly, but anyway I can cache all the tiles I need now with Google maps 5.0, so it's no download required, not even a kb.
                So your carrier charges you per kb when roaming? Give me the name of the carrier and I'll check on their site the prices and conditions myself.

                        Oh yes and if you dont like the standard browser on symbian, try skyfire, looks great and correct me if I'm wrong, but it has support for flash 10.1 too, worked like a charm on my 5530, so can only imagine it being even better on the N8.

Although you are charged per mb that doesnt mean everytime you connect you get chrged for a whole mb you idiot. I think the N8 is an awsome phone, ugly as hell, but an awsome phone never the less, Before you say anything I have a htc hero and a htc desire, but before that I had a nokia 5530 and to be honest theres a hell of a lot of things that I could do on my 5530 that I cant do on either of my android phones, which is a shame. but give it time and once the android os matures a bit I'm sure those features wil be available too.

                                        A HD TV has a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. Why watching movies at 720p@25 FPS when you can watch them at 1080p@60 FPS? About pictures, no matter the size, a HD TV resolution is still a mere 2 Mpix so you'll see no difference between photos taken with a 5 Mpix camera or 100 Mpix camera.

                                        "Secondly, usb otg isnt just limited to pendrives only, you know. Any usb powered devices known to man can be pluged to the n8 and it will work, be it a mouse or a keyboard heck even a barcode scanner will work. It is a very useful feature really."

                                        A mouse connected to a phone? LOL, I sould tell the Family Guy producers about it, they should make an episode about this:). Only Peter Griffin will want such a thing.

                                        "U say that i have to go online to find my current location, true. It is called a-gps you idi**. It uses cell tower triangulation to lock on to jy position faster and with more acuracy. Heck my n8 can lock on to my position faster than my gps unit. And all i need to do is just stay on9 for not more than a sec! Ive checked with the connectiin manager and guess what? Only 2kb worth of data is just transfered. After that it will disconect by itself and im free 2 use ovi maps to my hearts content with no worries bout data cost."

                                        The idi** is you. In roaming you do not pay data transfers by kb, but by MB. So every time you connect and download data you pay for 1 MB.

                                        "You think that only the iphone will generate a rush of shopers when it is released? WRONG! Got google for pictures of nokia stores being flooded with people wanting to buy the n8 on the released date. It's worldwide (except the us of course)"

                                        What? Then why I did not meet anyone yet with a N8? I even meet people with Samsung Wave:).


                                        "Oh yeah, dont just point the finger at us for starting the arguments, ifans and android fans also contributed equally with their trolling.
