    http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2010/10/android-caught-in-crossfire-of-patents.html

    So, not only is the device awesome, you can also be sure the OS will be around in 6 to 12 months, with more and more apps, while there is a very real chance Android will need to disappear.

      I'm sure with the Symbian devices rolling out finally (N8, C6-01, C7, E7), we're gonna see alot more apps cos they can be written in Qt which the S^4 and Meego will support as well.

Generally it take too long to drop down first bar but afterward, it drops quicker. My old 5800 doesn't drops single a bar for whole day normal to heavy use once the battery is fully charged and next day, it drains the battery almost.

          The Handheld Blog, Oct 4:Shootout: Nokia N8 v Canon 550D DSLR:

          You know what, forget the iPhone. Lets put the N8 up against some serious firepower, a DSLR which in this case is a 18 Megapixel Canon 550D, fitted with the 18-55mm kit lens. You've seen unedited pictures and video that Iain and I took with the N8 around Edinburgh. However I was also carrying my Canon 550D along and we decided to put the N8 to test and see how it fares against a full blown DSLR, nevermind those pocket point and shoot cameras. The results may surprise.

            "Ive been using it continuous 5 hours of
            photo shooting, social networking and video recording. Not even a single battery drop down."

            And I thought Bah ! Are you friggin kidding me ? You sure you didn't have the charger plugged in all that while ? :\

                                      I had my N8 for 6 hours.

                                      Even at a short time, I know how to manage it because I have watched a lot of videos of N8 published in different sites.

                                      I love the screen. You don't have to worry for the nHD screen. It's very sharp and clear. The AMOLED display makes it brilliant. I still have my n900 with me. I noticed that N8 has a better sunlight legibility than my n900. The screen doesn't even look pixelated! no need to worry.

                                      The camera interface was improved. I love the camera so much. The xenon flash is really helpful in dark places. I have tried video recording. Everything was clear even in zooming the fullest!

                                      The signal never fail me! Shame on Iphone4!

                                      The maps 3.0 is really a big improvement. It loads fast. Ovi 2.0 is great. I already have my swype for N8. Now texting on portrait qwerty. SO great. Im lovin it.


                                      There are 3 main homescreen in the home. When you scroll it, it responds just fine. I like the cuztomizable wallpaper and widgets. I have not tried 3d wallpaper in N8, but I think it can handle 3d wallpapers and themes since it is equipped with Broadcom GPU and a 3d graphics accelerator. Can anyone help me where can I find 3d wallpaper for N8?

                                      The speaker which is a mono speaker is really doing great. its better than the i9000's speaker. I wonder why these specs belie. Like also the 1200 mah battery. Ive been using it continuous 5 hours of
                                      photo shooting, social networking and video recording. Not even a single battery drop down.

                                      The web-browsing. It is better than the n97 x6 5800 web browing. But dont expect that it is as good as in n900's web browser. Multitouch is fine but slower than the multitouch in web browsing in iphone 4. But in pinch to zoom in photos, it works smoothly.

                                      I assure you, Nokia will improve the web browser in future updates.


                                      ATTENTION!

                                      Nokia will add continuous autofocus in n8 is future firmware.


                                      Do n8 has video stabilization like that in Nokia E7 because it is said in mynokiablog that it has video stabilization.




                                      Ignore VINCENT, the KID! He's just like the people in Engadget, ELdar, and gizmodo!
