Sails, 11 Dec 2010What was your point? Yes I've seen and used Galaxy S. D... moreMy point is pretty simple : GalaxyS is much better than N8.Excluding camera coz N8's camera is really powerful but that's the only notable feature of N8.

    Have been using the N8, mine's silver btw, for over a month now. I can honestly say that it is a very good device indeed. Photos and HD video are simply superb. HD games are absolutely perfect. Web browsing with Opera 10.1 is nice (hopefully Nokia updates the native browser as well). Mail synchronization is simply perfect! Free Ovi Maps is a must. And i also like the music player and the FM transmitter. So indeed i got what i wanted from the device:
    * Superb camera;
    * Godd web browsing w Opera;
    * Very good mail sync;
    * Superb drive by instructions w Ovi Maps;
    * Superb music playback;
    * Superb build quality of the device;

    On the negative side the Symbian 3 is not as polished (touch and feel) as the rivals, Android and iOS, especially iOS. I sincerely hope that Nokia has enough sense to put every bit of effort to updating the UI, because everything else is simply amazing. But still, good work Nokia for bringing this beautiful device to the market. Hope you will update the Symbian's UI as well!

        owner, 11 Dec 2010I am sure you havent seen a GalaxyS yet.Go have a look at it.What was your point?

        Yes I've seen and used Galaxy S. Did you want to contest one of my points and have you actually seen screen with CBD tech? Another fun point, Galaxy S lags more than N8 ;)

            owner, 11 Dec 2010how come 360x640 resolution(N8) be better than that of Gala... moreYou do know that Galaxy S display is RGBG Pentile?

            That means that the red and blue resolutions are actually 400x480. Worse than N8. Only the green color has 800x480 resolution. On N8, like on most displays, the resolution is the same for all colors.

            If you do the math you can get 417 subpixels per inch for Galaxy S and 558 subpixels per inch for N8. A significant difference. For example E7 with 4 inch display will still have 488 subpixels per inch. E7 will also have BCD, which if you read GSM display review, is easy to argue is better than SAMOLED as a technology too.

                  Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode or Super AMOLED is a display technology for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones. It differs from many other display technologies in that the layer which detects touch is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top. The first company known to produce display units of this type is Samsung.The Samsung i9000 Galaxy S series phones use this display.

                  Compared with the first-generation AMOLED, the Super AMOLED advantages are:

                  * 20% brighter screen
                  * 80% less sunlight reflection
                  * 20% reduced power consumption

                    how come 360x640 resolution(N8) be better than that of Galaxy S's 480x800 ????
                    Small battery,small display,heavier than galaxyS,just a bigger camera with outdated symbian OS.

                    AMOLED displays may be difficult to view in direct sunlight compared to LCD displays. Samsung's Super AMOLED technology addresses this issue by reducing the size of gaps between layers of the screen.

                                        Anonymous, 11 Dec 2010im nt lying!m teklling u the truth..u cAN SEE VIDEOES ON UT... moreWell you exaggerated 'lagging' to ''hanging', thats what pissed me off. still most games run smoothly, with the exception of certain gameloft games like asphalt 5, avatar and hero of sparta. Other games run quite well actually. Is all due to the laziness of gameloft developers in porting those games to the symbian^3 platform.

                                        'ya u will c the diff first try it!!'

                                        you still dont understand do you? taking a screen shot is like taking a picture of whats on the display but from the phone itself. So no matter what screen a device has, the screenshot remains the same. unless you meant taking a picture of the screen using a camera, it wont make a damn difference
