After being spoiled with great and fast UI of Desire, i could never go back to slow Symbian UI. Even if the N8 has a great cam. Sorry N8, having a great cam in a phone isn't enticing anymore.

          TP, 06 Oct 2010The point here was about OS, we can even use the Hero as an... moreHi TP, yes milestone was at 600 Mhz, but that is a Cortex A8, Not an ARM11 core. That is a significantly faster CPU than the one in the N8. If we want to go into this deeper, we have to do it right. Fact of the matter is, Symbian is better in constrained environment, battery wise, memory wise, cycle wise. Lets not discuss where this difference becomes apparent, that is subjective, but the difference is there.

          Now of course Moore's law is going to be nice for Android in that respect, but from a cost perspective Symbian still wins. And battery life is one thing Moore's law does not apply to :)

            [deleted post]The point here was about OS, we can even use the Hero as an example as it has 256mb RAM, and a 528mhz CPU and can do Froyo, and as i said the Milestone which also at under 600mhz and 256mb RAM runs Android fine. S60v3s did 200mhz but we're off that so i dont know why you brought it up.
            If you're going to result to personal insults then i suggest we end this here as i'd rather not lower myself to your level. Thanks. Atleast Wheez is mature enough to reply respectfuly and had great points to add to the discussion.

              [deleted post]Let me rephrase that.

              S^3 is better. Now matter how great your transitions looks, they dont mean dick all when your battery is dead.

                The 360° view of the N8 is up, which means that the preview will probably be up very soon!

                  At least gsmarena's move can be dismissed as a part of tech sites competition. And as a lot of mobile users will agree, i believe even die hard android fans will agree, that what's done to n8 is not fair. And so people will start believing that gsmarena is the only good source of mobile reviews, which is quite true, they got technical in some areas, and pull their verdict without any hints of bias. They always get most everybody else's approval.

                    What all video formats does n8 play. The demo they showed me at priority played mkv. Does it play divx or other higher formats ?
