I got my N8 last Wednesday. All is perfect but that supplied headset in the retail package--it is broken. Or the jack is broken is broken. Whenever I use another headset, that "speak now" appears whenever I play videos or listen to music. How do I turn voice command? :) It is impossible for me to listen to music continuously. It continues reappearing. :((((

    azm, 10 Dec 2010hi Becool.. how is the video recording quality of N8 in ... morelow light good

    night
    every camera looks like crap cause they all have xenon bulbs

    unless your phone is dual LED

    but since the lens and sensor is the biggest on a mobile phone and almost the same size as a digicam it looks alot better

    then most phones and cameras

                I just got this phone last week and I noticed that it does have show some lags and unresponsive in some occasions (you need to multiple tap sometimes). I own an iPhone and I must say that some menus on the N8 is quite hard to find specially if you're a new user or haven't owned an Nokia phone (a friend of mine who also have this phone keep asking me how to turn on/off some settings). This doesn't bother me much since I'm quite familiar with the Symbian OS menu and UI layout. The image quality is amazing. The sound is good but the video(I converted a video clip into multiple formats,e.g. mp4,wav,mpeg,etc. and played those on the N8 and iPhone) is not that pleasing compared with the iPhone (maybe because of the bigger display on iPhone? I'm not really sure.) To make this short, N8 is the best smartphone for those who likes travelling and taking pictures. I won't suggest using this to watch videos since it drains battery much quicker.
                P.S. install swype! the best app for me! :)

                    i just bought my nokia n8 last week. and what i like about this phone:

                    1. picture quality its amazing!!! even if you zoom its not pixelated...
                    2. wallpaper is very clear as well as its color. i do like to customize my phone thats why i love this phone.
                    3. the quality of sound is good. i used to have 7650, n73, n86 now n8. n8 has the best sound among them its has a smooth combination of treble and bass...
                    4. carl zeiss component..

                    nokia n8 is the best phone for me..

                          I have two phones the first a sony ericsson satio
                          and now a nokia n8 I believe that the n8 is a better phone than the satio because it is newer, but in many respects the satio has some features that are better than n8.Video recording in low light with the satio was awesome because you could switch the light on and film,with n8 i havent found a way to do that,secondly the n8 has no dedicated call keys which if your wanting to make a quick call the process is a lot slower.
                          Iguess you wont get everything you want in a phone and having owned two 12 megapixel phones there are good things about this phone and there are bad things the satio i believe was a very underated phone and nokia has made a similar product

                                  Nokia please come up with other n series 12mp camera phone which has lens cover, dedicated call and end keys, video led light, removable battery, variable aperture camera with continues autofocus video recording. problems with n8 will make it out of market within one year. it has a very serious design problem because Nokia people just concentrated on style and looks of the phone which is very bad. first they should have given importance to usability and user experience and quality checking.
