Anonymous, 30 Sep 2010it is not slow mo. it is faster framrate. it is vga@60 or 1... moreSeems like you're the one who needs education dude! Do you even know what 'slow motion' is? Ofcourse videos shot at 120fps are slow motion as the video is slower when played back. And in case you don't know, phone manufactures (LG and Samsung) have only provided 120fps videos in QVGA resolution not VGA! Get your facts straight before replying to something you know less about!

      Wheez, 30 Sep 2010I did, but it's so hard without a good camera with a tripod... moreHey thanks 4 the information....iam a littile dissapointed with the headset,but no probs i hav a better Sennheisser headset to come over that drawback.
      battery back up in the sense the battery life...is the battery getting empty soon wen u use the apps or wen u take snaps or videos?like wen i had the n82 with xenon flash,it only gav me a battery life to take a maximum of 20 snaps.

And it wasnt really a review, mainly showing the features and the OS, but so many features I couldn't fit into it.

                I'll try uploading it tomorrow, it's so slow and havnt had the time to do that yet.

                For the poster after that: What do you mean with battery back up? There is no "normal TV" output, so HDMI is the only option, there may be HDMI-"normal TV output (is it AV or something)" adapter for sale, but at least not included in the box.

                The headset is WH-701

                  And about color...i agree with you.
                  When i was buying 5230 half year ago i was searching whole town to find white with blue back cover. I dont like black or silver phones.
                  But i must admit N8 looks great in every color.
                  But personaly i would get green it looks kinda odd, then blue and then orange. Black is ok and silver is...ugh don't really like it!

                        As said it depends on where you buy it. Same places get stylus, some places get HDMI cable, some places some bluetooth headset, etc.

Not to mention that all the colors look REALLY good. Orange is abit radical, but looks still very good live.

                          Everybody has a black or white phone. One reason I decided to get the N8 in the first place.

                                Finns do not get a silicon cover, these special offerings vary between countries. UK customers get a free real HDMI cable for example

                                2) does the it play xvid,divx,avi files?

                                Yes

                                3) does it have clear black display?

                                No
                                4) does it lag?

                                No, see my earlier post below

                                5) did u get the capacitive touchscreen stylus in the box?

                                No, sadly, considering that Finnish weather definitely isn't the warmest :/

                                6) on what firmware is the fone on?

                                I'm not sure if this is the same as firmware, but I think: 011.012.240.01

                                7) how much did u pay for it?

                                499 euros

                                8) which country are u from?

                                Finland.

                                    Anonymous, 30 Sep 2010pls tell abt the loud speaker sound as well as headset sound..I usually listen to music with default laptop speakers so please understand that my understanding of sound quality is nonexistant. It's perfectly fine for me in both cases, you have to try that yourself to say for sure though.

                                    The phone is not laggy. It doesnt seem as fast as, say, the iPhone 4 but that's mainly cos it doesnt use that much transition effects, it doesnt use "sleight of hands" effects (like showing a picture of the app before its actually usable) and in the browsers case with flash enabled it is slower than the iphone, but the biggest reason for that is cos the iPhone has that one feature less. Personally though I turned off flash in my N8 cos all it made me see "more" was the adds that I dont wanna see in the first place. It's good to have though, so if u end up really needing it, you can turn it on. In normal browsing for me it only slowed it down for no benefit at all.
