satan, 05 Oct 2010bookings have started in nokia hyderabad...i have played wi... moreThought I'll comment on some of these things u mentioned:

1)the 3 home screens dont mov along with our finger..after swiping on the screen,it takes about a second or two to respond..(its built that way)

Second or two is abit exaggeration, but as you said, it's not about the phone being slow, it's designed that way, probably to avoid moving the screen cos some widgets use sideway scrolling. If you don't want to wait, tapping the home screen change button is easier and faster then swiping anyways.

2)the vibration for each touch is irritating

I love having the feedback, this can be turned off though, it has 4 levels. Level 1-3 (meaning less vibration-more vibration) and then completely off.

3)phone is laggy some some times

I havn't really experienced this apart from very hectic usage that isn't normal anyways. Any phone can be made lagging with hectic enough usestyle. Could also be cos its a public test phone and there was all kinds of shit already done on the phone etc.

4)only 3x zoom

It's digital zoom anyway, it's not worth using anyway. It's pretty much better to take nonzoomed picture and then zoom into it using a computer. The effect is exactly the same.

5)multi touch is a little slow...not the same as iphone...

I've found the pinch to zoom to work perfectly when you hold the phone in your hand, having it on the table for example will cause grounding issues (been told that happens with every phone if not held, though). If you mean different kind of multitouching then yea, I too can press buttons faster/simultaneously and the phone can't register them all, but it keeps up easily with typing, etc :)

    nadia , 05 Oct 2010 hello wheeze n8 is worth to buy or not? my current phon... moreIt's definitely worth every cent. I've heard some questionable stuff about the N8, but from what you're saying, I think the N8 would fit you very well. The phone is also "old enough" to be worth the change already. Like if you had some week old Galaxy S it might not be clever :D

    If we're giving 5 stars, I'd give 4½ stars for the sake of nothing is perfect ;) And many people agree with me: http://hintaseuranta.fi/tuote.aspx/424577?tabi=arvostelut

    You won't understand what they say but u'll see the stars. Those few people who gave like half a star have obviously never used the device cos they are complaining about small CPU and RAM, which don't give you any real problems while actually using the phone. So they are just useless spec huggers. Also, "Suosittelen" means "recommended".

    There was still 50 "reviews" yesterday on that site, wonder where the heck did 30 of them disappear.

    Either way, so far people have been very happy about this device :)

              that is why u got a blue n8 instead of any other color. but it's ok, someone had to get the ugly version too ;)

                  The N900 and like 5800 are all very, very good phones, but just look at them. They arn't even trying to look good. Naturally there's personal preference, but I think this is Nokias attempt to wake up that its 2010 now designwise too and they've really succeeded there.

                  For someone else asking, I have a blue N8 ;)

                    i find that N8 has the different design at the edges than any other Nokia phones.
                    do you have any idea why N8 is designed such that
                    its not curved at the edges ??

                    ie N900, 5800 is curved like iPhone4.
                    x6 has square finish at the edges

                          Everything works like a thought. I was just writing a university essay on my netbook and realized i needed the internet. I just connected my phone to the netbook for the first time and selected use as modem from the phone. It quickly installed the necessary software from the phone and took existing settings from the phone and everything worked like a dream. All this while on the train

                                  I played with it for 15mins in Bangalore.

                                  Camera is awesome and touch sensitivity is comparable to iPhones.
                                  Media player interface is almost similar to iTunes ;).

                                  I already pre-ordered.
                                  But only thing that i worry slightly is that its appearance.
                                  No curvy finishing at the edges unlike other Nokia phones.
                                  But the dealer told me that its specifically designed so that people can hold it better.

                                    Joe, 05 Oct 2010Ohh really dats cool, then wheez please put a brief summary... moreIt has been available from Nokia (for preorderers and new customers) since last thursday and I've been posting my feelings here ever sicne that thursday.

                                    I've been extremely satisfied and I don't really have any negative things to say about this device. Just about the only negative thing I can come up with is the speaker positioning, which is in the camera "bulge", meaning that if its on the table screen up, it will partially mute the sound. Apart from that, the photo/video editor and OVI store work abit slowly compared to the rest of the device, bad optimization or something. However all 3 get the job done just perfectly. Other than those the phone is very swift and theres not much waiting to be done.

                                    I wouldn't change my N8 for any other smartphone currently out there, even if you gave me 3 of them.

                                    If you want to see the camera quality, search for "veijojarvi" here in the GSMArenas N8s pages comment search and you'll find some pics taken by me. I'm a crappy photographer and all the settings are on default, so someone else can certainly take better pics, but those are pretty good seeing all that
