I loved my sony ericsson walkman speakers, my N85 speakers now are not that bad either, but about latest smartphones I mostly hear the speakers are low volume. I dont expect speakers to be as good as my old W810i, but I'm really looking for a smartphone (one like N8, I really like it's features) with a decent loudspeaker.

    David891, 10 Oct 2010Ok thanks, but I mean not like compared to laptop/expensive... moreWell, I think you can make it loud enough, louder than it was comfortable to listen to from like 1m away. I never use it on full volume cos it's at least too loud for my taste and ears.

Me who always listens to music from laptops integrated (shitty) loudspeakers and very rarey with headphones or anything good quality, I'm very satisfied with the speaker quality.

          Someone who always uses 500€ Sennheiser headphones probably isn't all that satisfied with the quality from the loudspeaker.

                Nokia N8 does everything the Desire HD or iPhone4 can do, some things maybe not just as well, but not badly either. In addition to this, N8 does so many things iPhone 4 and HTCs can only dream about.

                I rather have a phone that isn't the fastest of prettiest but is actually capable, isntead of being pigeonholed into a niche of app store and smooth transitions.

                They are great devices, but still not for me.

                    This is what I'm reading about the speaker.
                    “I'm quite impressed with the built in speaker's sound quality, the bass output is incredible for a phone!”
                    “Loudspeaker.....too shrill..no bass beat”
                    “Music through Loudspeaker is disappointing .”
                    “Its sound from the main speaker is too low.”
                    “but the speakerphone was horrible”
                    “speakers were very loud and clear”

                    For me the speaker is very important to be loud, but still decent quality. The opinions about the speaker are very opposing. Can someone make clear how good/bad the speaker is? (compared to other phones?)

                      Simply cos my 4 year old phone does twice the things iPhone would ever do.

                      Also, HTC Desire HD or iPhone 4 don't have stuff like free offline sat nav comparable to OVI maps, no FM transmitter, no USB OnTheGo, battery life as good as N8.

                      They also have LCD screens, meaning I can't have screensaver clock on the screen. This alone is a HUGE thing for me, cos my cellphone is my only clock.

                      I guess nice review, but it doesn't hold true for everyone.

                        yo guyz...i went to the nokia priority dealer (chennai) to check out the n8...and i must say the built quality is simply superb...the camera and video recording was just awesum...the software was pretty fast...i wont say everything was flying...but is faster than previous nokia models i hav seen barring the n900...however the software lagged a little at some places like when i played the full movie inception and tried to forward it the video freezed and i had to press the menu button to get outta there...but the video playback was awesum...i played the tron(hd) trailer and i was really stunned...the music playback through the speaker was quite good...the speaker was loud enough...i really liked the pinch to zoom...it was smooth as a butter...but it could be improved in the web browser though...and 1 more thing i never really liked nfs...but i enjoyed it playing it over the n8...no lag no cluttering...the n8 played it real smooth...so i really liked it and am thinking of buying it

                            Finnish made ones go to Europe, Africa and middle-east. China made go to Asia and America.

                                      Also, by what logic if N8 exceeded all previous preorder records of Nokia, would the N8 sell SLOWER than the earlier phones? That makes no sense, if it already made a record :D
