Watch the Nokia N8 and iPhone 4 get test tortured to death

18 February, 2011
When we buy a new phone we are always concerned if its body is scratch-resistant or will it get dirty quickly. This is essential information because when the time comes to sell it, the better it looks the higher price...

I own an Iphone4, good job on the testing. Although I really felt that those test were biased and the results are (not to mention how it was calculated) are lobe sided towards Iphone. This is especially true in the signal strenght test, where the signal deteriorated but yet that guy gave it a full rating.... I was like omg now we know how a fan boy is defined..

      In my view Nokia deserve to be in the situation they find themselves in, Fan boys have always gave Nokia false feedback.
      To Nokia Fan boys, Nokia can never do no wrong yet the evidence is overwhelming, which has resulted into Nokia high end devise sales plummeting and loosing the race against Android and IOS which in turn resulted in Ollie Pekka losing his job as CEO and eventually the appointment of Elop who in turn sees WP7 as the only solution to Nokia's plight.
      Symbian will no longer be the front player and rightly so coz it has caused a lot of damage, LG nearly sunk for choosing it. Samsung and all other manufacturers have dumped it but still the fan boys say it's the best OS.
      Luckly for Nokia they have a new CEO who is from the outside and understands how smartphones are meant to operate and just might save em.

        i think the the one who made the test is apple fan boy., about the strength of materials used which one are strongest aluminum or plastic. iphone 4 is made of plastic.

            Hi, only way to authenticate this kind of tests is following manner.

            first you give total number of tests, say 25.
            then u took 25 iphone 4 and 25 nokia n8.
            do each test to seperate phone, so we can judge what is test result for totally undamaged phone.
            then count the test results.

            These guys from whatsoever.com; or whatever gsmarena has given the name; dont have even basic sense to carry out proper test in proper methodology, which should be reproducible for each and every mobile in specific manners.

            Thanks.

            I am using N900 and motorola ZN5.

A tech review site is basically a newspaper, they all get their information from a source. I would like to see where your "newspaper" got their source from as currently Nokia has not gone publicly pertaining to any sales figure for the N8? They only list their total smart phone shipment for Q4 of 2010, however this includes any S60 devices, and lord knows Nokia sells tons of those because they're like what? $100? and less? We would very much like to see your "credible" information source since you like to call other people's links "fakes".

                                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_4

                                    look on the right hand side for information, currently to date, since it's launch Iphone 4 has shipped(sold to vendors) 30.3 million units.

                                    where as if you look here for the N8's sales figure you would see none listed, Nokia is too scared to release sales figure because they were so abysmal, so crappy, they would be laughed at.

                                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N8

                                    Notice how nokia only brags about things such as pre-order number yet is too afraid to talk about actual shipment figures? They released sales figures for 5800 and N97 yet they were too scared for N900 and N8.
