Can we please focus on the N8 again. Just ignore the iPhone fans, a great device but not this is the N8 discussion page, not the iPhoane 4 discussion page.
And as someone posted below me, the FM Radio uses the headphones as it's antennas. Thus, requiring the headphones to be plugged in. Yeah, it's a shame. I wonder why it's still like this? Would figure it would be sufficient withotu the headphones too, but this seems to go unchanged, so maybe its a technical reason behind it.

[deleted post]Fair enough, checked wikipedia the other day that said 2,5 mil units sold as of august something. It has been changed to 1,5 mil units sold in first 3 days, seems that some iPhone fan is insecure and changed it.
Why are you forcing your personal preferences to people? I think the N8s design, looks and materials are alot nicer than those of the iPhone 4. Your opinion isnt a fact, get a grip of yourself, you are pathetic.
Also, why are you here. If the iPhone is so great, I guess it would have daily interest of 95% and not the N8. A great phone doesnt need you trashtalking other phones.
It is a great phone, just not for everyone. N8 isn't for everyone either, but it suits us. We don't want to talk about the iPhone. So please, can't you just go talk with people who WANT to talk about the iPhone?

iPhone 4 hasnt even sold 3 million till this day.
Not to mention how it isnt directly comparable. Nokia has usually 2-3 parallel models, while Apple only has 1 at the time. So the Nokia customers are spread around to several models, while iPhones basically just to one.
N8s parallel models arn't out yet, but neither is N8 in most places.

Anonymous, 09 Oct 2010yes that's hardware based. still limited. Apps makes smrtph... moreIndeed, hardware based. Those apps have very little to offer me, I made the decision that I rather trade the quantity of apps for some hardware features that no app can ever give me.
Why can't you accept that iPhone 4 is not a perfect choise for everyone? Apps make a smartphone for you, not for me.

We have the top maker of mobile phones again offering last year's specifications in what looks like a New Old Soap design!
The resolution is same as Nokia 5800 xpress but the width is pretty much more!
I wonder from where are these chaps getting their parts from? So big and antiquated!!
Cant they for one moment check what the Japanese are doing?
Customers don't mind a great copy in terms of design, if that is ranking with the best!
Nokia And Sony ericsson deserve to lose their positions very soon.
European designs are famed in everything else but now seriously biting the dust in this segment.. How long should we customers keep paying for the increased inefficiencies of these companies?
Added to that our friends are giving it more than 6 on all scales..
Well, I am now switching over to the smartest ones rather than choke cos of loyalty!

I'll be honest with you, I have flash disabled 95% of the time on my N8, cos most of the time the flash ads only slow it down, but there are times when I need to enable it, and in those times I won't have to curse Jobs for making the decision for me.

[deleted post]Bluetooth file transfer is intentionally disabled on iph to attract more apps developers since piracy is hard on iph.
n8 capabilities is constant as it is based on hardware. iph abilities are unlimited as it based on apps. can u read comic book n8? can u play fifa2011 on n8? can u listen as much radio stations as iph? can u play monkey island and sonic4 on n8? can u rent tv shows on n8? can u use windows remote desktop on n8? can u read as many newspaper as iph on n8? I know u can shoot better photos but who cares when we use mobile photos on social sites. Can u have genius playlist on n8? can u have pes2011 on n8? can u even multitouch map? can u use parrot drone (real flight control) on n8? Parrot drone is wireless flying replica can be controlled by iphone

I'm perfectly clear of what the N8 has and it runs the device and Symbian^3 beautifully. I've owned the device over a week now, I'm pretty sure I know more about it than you, thank you.
You can tell yourself that all it has over the iPhone is the camera, but your fooling yourself.
