    Anonymous, 01 Oct 2010those experts still say that symbian will be in top of the ... morewell u can keep dreaming about 2014 n i am not a particular fanboy n i love different devices like htc, sony ericsson n i liked the camera of nokia n8 but when i saw the software then i thought it would be downgrading myself to a symbion device n i think u just agreed to me that at the moment android is at the top of the smartphone market n symbion is not in the game right now so fullstop.

        To all the visitors of this site, don't be fooled by the result of the voting. It seems that it is abused by android and iOS fans. Go to hell symbian and nokia critics! Better leave this site now and go to your respected anti-nokia forums! May be you all feel afraid of this nokia phone monster. Don't criticize this phone its because it is not yet released in the market. If you hate this phone, better close your mouth and buy android or iphone devices! Nobody force you to buy nokia n8!

                  Anonymous, 01 Oct 2010about the techradar review its not about fanboysim or likin... moreSo you are fanboy yourself.

                  Symbian, is not trying to be anybody else. So when you are complaining about symbian's hierarchy of menus, symbian's own interpretation of homescreens, and symbian despite having flash lite 4 which is a good thing and still for you a browser without a flash is better(like iphone 4's), you think it's a good thing? Are you just wishing symbian to be an exact clone of other OS? Definitely you misinterpreted the word OS.

                  And when you complain when it's your inability to understand is the problem.

                  I could've taken that review seriously if it talks more about it's speed/performance, because, as a user that's all i need to know. But the moment i read the first part left a bitter taste in my mouth too early. They are critisizing the symbian's mechanism of doing things done, which is the reason why we love symbian.

                  The review, for most part, is full of htc/iphone bias. I don't care if they give the phone a low score, but what turns me off is that as if the review is done to promote other brands, by stating that some other's is much better than the one you're making a review of without respecting what may be their reader's own opinion. Maybe their thinking they will receive peer approval thereafter, but guess what? The past comments are from open minded people, thank God.

                                What's the first thing you
                                should do when you get
                                the N8? Considering it
                                packs the biggest image
                                sensor embedded in a
                                phone yet, Carl Zeiss optics,
                                and an eight-digit pixel
                                count, it seemed obvious
                                to us that the answer was
                                to take it on a picture- and
                                video-taking stroll around
                                London. On our way out
                                we saw our iPhone 4
                                looking all sad and lonely,
                                so we went ahead and
                                brought it along as well.
                                Below you shall find one
                                gallery of pure,
                                unadulterated N8 sample
                                shots, another interspersed
                                with the iPhone's results
                                for comparison's sake, and
                                a final one with side-by-
                                side 100 percent crops
                                from each image taker.
                                Once you've digested all of
                                those, we suggest hopping
                                past the break and tucking
                                into some tasty video
                                comparisons for dessert.
                                Naturally, all the images
                                are entirely unretouched
                                (but for our masterly
                                watermarking) and the
                                iPhone 4's HDR hocus
                                pocus has been left off.
                                We've also provided a zip
                                file containing all the full-
                                res imagery shot with the
                                N8 in a link below.
                                A quick note is also
                                merited about the N8's
                                resolution. The sensor's
                                display ratio is 4:3, which
                                means that full 12
                                megapixel shots are only
                                available in those
                                dimensions. The camera
                                software, however,
                                defaults to shooting 9
                                megapixel snaps at the
                                increasingly popular 16:9
                                ratio -- this is done simply
                                by cropping away the
                                "excess" bars at the top
                                and bottom of the image,
                                meaning that the 9
                                megapixel images are
                                giving us identical
                                performance as the 12
                                megapixel ones, they're
                                just chopped down (from
                                4000 x 3000 to 4000 x
                                2248) for the sake of
                                convenience. Now, on with
                                the show!

                                      in singapore, iphone4 16g c os t 1300 singapore dollar, n8 costs 789 it is half the price of iphone.

                                      There os only one thing i am not that happy with n8 is just the screen res, it could be made higher to be perfect
