I'm from India>Kerala>Trivandrum. Got it for Rs 23grands.
Got my phone 2 weeks before and gotta say it is a well worth upgrade to my Nokia 5800. I flashed it around 4 times with a hacked Firmware and Hyper-X's Camera modd. 4 times Coz I tried to install all possible softwares from s60v5 and s60v3 (mostly cracked full version), many of which made the phone crash. Then carefully sorted out the ones which works perfectly and now I have it on full swing.

Main Advantages i found is that the Camera Images, Video recording 720p@30fps (After Hyper-X Modd) worked mind blowingly well. Games played on it made me addict. HD Movies played on my LCD via HDMI with extreme clarity, 720p @6-7Mbps(Although gaming via HDMIis not that great but is a good experience). USB ON THE GO is an amazing feature where I could even Connect my wireless mouse and use my lcd for web browsing. Bluetooth connectivity is much better than my 5800. Battery Life is Amazingly longer than I expected.

Now the CONS. Why the hell did they put the speakers below the camera facing downward. The sound muffles away when I keep in My Jeans or put it on my table or bed. Also where are my stereo speakers Nokia? LCD Brightness always vary according to the light( No way to keep it fixed). When using opera mobile for a long time "Memory full" message Pops Up. Also I miss my stylus dearly. No stupid thing works on it. Nokia Could at least bundle one with it since they consider it as a Flagshp Model.

The more you criticize the N8, the better it gets. :-). These things you're telling are exactly the opposite of what the N8 can do. Think something that it can actually NOT do as a smartphone, and nobody will believe you now because it's academic. Arent' you trollers ever gonna give up? C'mon...

                        It looks like most of the negative comments about the N8 comes from non-users. Again, before claiming something you must be able to support them with factual evidence not pure hearsay or crap.

                        Nokia's N8 rocks and simply the best Symbian phone out there. If you want more like photo-editing, louder sound, faster processor, bigger screen, more memory,etc then go and buy a laptop.

                        I find it it funny when people keep on looking for everything in a single device. Technology is humongous business and if a manufacturer will put everything on a single device then they're killing their own market by doing so.

                                    Really, so you bought one failure of a phone (N97) and based on that you recommend buying another failure of a phone (iPhone 4). I don't think you should be giving advice to anyone. I recommend you go to a store and try N8 for your self. It is an amazing phone.

                                      TMT, 22 Nov 2010i stayed with nokia for a long time....and after using noki... morei skipped N97 cause they didn'y put enough RAM and have a higher clock speed
                                      but i did get the N900 and that still has to be the best mobile computer ever built

                                      48gb in your pocket and now up to 64gb with every codec to play your videos a nice stand for viewing

                                      A FULL MOBILE VERSION OF LINUX(TOUCH)
                                      hackable
                                      lots of programers apps

                                      it was very customizable and it still is

                                      i still love that beast my n900

                                      but i have the N8 now and i'm sorry IOS makes be feel retarded just using it

                                      it's like going back to kindergarden after you graduated from college XD
