i stayed with nokia for a long time....and after using nokia n97 i swerared togod that i wont but any nokia product........ppl should think about choosing iphones and android.
after using 3gs i fall in love becaz the os is so stable and app store is like freaking huge....and the motion games r awesome
and after using android i think ios is better but android is really cool on the cutomization department.

i dont think most of the loyal customers will buy n8 after what happend with n97...it was a freaking shit.ev en my lg arena is better {3rd set} than n97.

SYMBIAN IS DEAD sad to say

It came with broken GPS that took ages to fix and it has also suffered badly from lag since the beginning and even the new update did nothing to that.

Also, Samsung is by far the worst when it comes to actually supporting their phones. Most devices get two updates tops and they are usually pretty minor.

i have used xperia mini before my n8. I really think that symbian 3 is better, especially after i installed spb mobile shell. Browser is really bad, but i use opera mini, so thats not a problem too. I had enough money to buy an iphone, but n8 looks and feels better for my taste. I dont understand why people talk about their other brand phones, in nokia n8 forum, grow up,everyone has a different taste, and there is no 'perfect' phone. I am 39, i think the average age of the other phone reviewers is 17-18

The N8 Browser will run really fast more than you could imagine.

N8 LOVER SUHANOO, 22 Nov 2010Guys, guys, guys... what's wrong with you? Lemme ask you so... morehaters gonna hate

nokia still gonna dominate
N8 is great
symbian3 is gonna overtake XD

people don't understand that ever device with an interface has bugs so they can perform updates

XD
it' called service

if android never had any problems they would have made some many damn versions

1.5 - 3.0 WTF O.O

symbianOS is at PR1.0 and 1.1 is to come out in a few weeks

but it's still called symbianOS

not android gingerbread or froyo..etc

and as well
people haven't noticed but badaOS just got it's first update aswell

5 secs in an outbox is nothing

people expect too much for too little these days

Dont use nokia touch screen phones.. its really really waste. Go for samsung. Nokia has lot of bugs. And also features are very less. Phone il automatically switch off and hang up often. This happens almost in all nokia touch phones. Even a newly launched Nokia phones are outdated when compared to existing technology...

Guys, guys, guys... what's wrong with you? Lemme ask you something... You guys are telling that N8 is crap, right? Okay, let's assume that it is. You know this much that gsmarena only compares the similar kind of phones, right? (for example, they compared iPhone4 with Samsung S8500 Wave, Nokia E90 with Nokia 9100 etc.)
Then lemme come to the point. I can guarranty you, those who are IOS or BADA or ANDROID fanboys, don't read their own type phones' review. If you would, you would read the review of Samsung S8530Wave II. There, the GSMARENA team didn't bother to compare the BADA phone with N8, rather they compared it with C7 & C6-01, which, by the way is a C series, meant for cheaper units. And, as we know, Nokia N8 is far better than C7 & C6-01 (including camera, USBOTG etc.). So, its very much clear that the GSMARENA team didn't even bother to compare S8530 Wave II with N8, cause Wave II is very much out of N8's league. So, please, admit.
No, I said admit that you can't fight with N8, no matter what you say, N8 is far better than the IOS or BADA or ANDROID.
I admit, the touch response of N8 is slower than those, but, who's gonna die? If I send my message 5 seconds later, unlike you guys, I won't die. So chill!
And you talk about applications? I ask you, the applications you find in your stores, how many of them are actually usable in real life (those are very much usable if you are a small kid). If you are a small kid, a candy will be very much popular to you. But if you are a grown up, you'ld like to have a car rather than a candy. You can throw a candy faster than a car can move, but that doesn't prove that a candy is better than a car. Grow up kids, grow up. When will you learn?
If you guys aren't kids, why are you wasting your time over here? Why aren't you just visiting your own phone's threat & write there? The simple reason is that you are afraid that your phone is far behind than the N8. That is why you guys are feeling sooooooooooo insecure and are coming here to post rubbish. Please, go back to your own place.
I have told it before, I am telling it again. I am assuming that you are a well wisher, you want to warn us not to waste our money. But if I choose to waste my hard earned money, what's your problem? I earned it, now it is my decision to spend it however I wish. All rubbish people are bashing here. Get the F*** out of here. Get a life.
If you don't like my words, SUE ME...

After the N97, I thought seriously change Nokia, but finally I chose the N8 (Nokia again) because the camera, after using the cellphone for a few day, I think it's good (Simbyan 3^ is not so bad at all).

Anonymous, 21 Nov 2010Yellow blotches was unfounded and died out within a couple ... morethose there network issues

but everyone witnessed from different parts of the world that the antenna is actually faulty

and even steve was force to do a press conference

and in the first place why would they have made bumpers prior to the antanna problem

and why where they gonna try and sell the bumpers..right off the bat for 30 bucks
even though the real cost would be 10 or 12 dollars for a 50 cent peice of rubber

Anonymous, 21 Nov 2010Can N8 tether?Hi, Yes you can tether and provide a mobile hotspot by using a piece of software called Joikuspot. The free version doesn't have a wep or Wpa key , and you can't call the hotspot anything other than what comes as default (the Mac address), but it works real well. Registration is real cheap so I did.
Just getting used to the phone (had an nokia e75 before)

deep space bar, 21 Nov 2010what`s so bad about admiting some faults look how early ... moreYellow blotches was unfounded and died out within a couple days of being claimed. Antenna issue was an over blown problem even consumer reports the so called experts admitted that it only affected phones when they were in an area with a weak signal want proof
here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL_f2wjBbCw
Now to claim that dropped calls doesn't happen to other phones is just nonsense. My N97 dropped calls all the time even with full bars.

DNA_Uncut, 21 Nov 2010 Nokia confirms that N8 has hardware bugs ... http:/... morewhat`s so bad about admiting some faults

look how early that have found out that there are faults
apple and steve jobs

denied faulty devices

yellow blotches,cheap materials,inverted volume rockers and the huge one the antenna issu

it took alot of media and 3 months just to make them admit that they messed up

nokia finds out about these faults and makes them known so if anyone suffers those issues they can get them looked after

with apple.......here your holding it the wrong waay or here is a cover problems solved even though it`s actual hardware
