Megapixels do not tell much. That is barely half the reason (if even that) why the N8s camera is so good.

You can just put a 12mpix camera phone, but it will not be equal to the N8. Why? Unless it has as big/bigger sensor and real quality optics such as Carl Zeiss and not just some random bubble gum bulk optics, it will not be as good.

    [deleted post]Better google for 21MP camera phone... China has already bypassed Korea on that... there are also many gadgets that China has developed and has beaten Korea but we are talking about technology my friend... the pioneers and inverters can not be replaced by copy makers and toy sellers....

                  Savor, 28 Sep 2010Nokia N8 is DEAD on arrival - http://www.pcworld.com/articl... moreby the way if you have little knowledge about proccesors then you'll know that the higher the power the more heat it produces!!infact high power procs are prone to overheating and that definitely reduces the resource of the proc itself and the device as well!!so nokias are about reliability and not just specs!!my n85 after 2 yrs usage still holds on for 2 full days on one single charge!!guys stop being biased use facts not emotions!!cheers

                      They should've introduced optical zoom in this device it would be a superhit of course it will make the device a bit bulky but its worth it.

                        Wheez, 28 Sep 2010Yeah, it's a shame that US people for some reason just have... moreWhilst I agree with you post in the main the Americans tend to favour flip phones (cellular) in preference to the candybar (now there is a joke in there somewhere) However what you have to realise is product placement in the film industry. The smaller less sophisticated cells are easier to conceal.
                        However in the tech or spy film / tv shows there they do use smartphones as that crucial bit of info is sent recieved that way. I read a Financial time article that in 30/03/2010

                        March 30, 2010
                        Smartphone sales boom is poised to set the tone in US
                        Sales of smartphones in the US such as the iPhone, BlackBerry...still account for over 70 per cent of sales, but sophisticated smartphones, which can be customised with downloaded...the gap quickly.'The share of smartphones as a proportion of overall device sales has increased to 29 per cent for"

                        So just as you see the basic hansdet in the UK the same can be said of the US. A smart phone may not be the phone of choice for somebody who just want to keep in contact but we US & UK are are getting smart..er phones

                                  n8info, 27 Sep 2010uk release date: 22nd october 2010. source: 5 x nokia n8 t... morethere are now many unsubstantiated claims that the n8 will be delayed.
                                  unless you see something in print or @ nokia.co.uk please report them!!!!
                                  " i heard it from a reliable 8 month old baby is not good enough"

                                  i am pretty sure nokia have a more reliable source to get this info out than word of mouth
                                  ok.

                                        XTC, 28 Sep 2010Have anyone use the real n8? I wonder how fast it compared ... moreHere is a video (not by me) of the N8 I go to use nearly daily when I have time between lessons :D

                                        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldjvn8Mjsys

                                        It doesn't really lag or hang (has like 3-4 times more free RAM than the N97 plus writeable data paging), but compared to an iPhone it seems slower, but that is mainly due to the lack of transition effects and other "sleight of hand" effects that make it seem faster. Sure, it probably is a tad faster without any effects too, but the difference is most likely minimal. It just feels faster when you see something happen as opposed to "still screen and pop" style the N8 has.

                                        If you end up watching other N8 videos, just a few heads ups. The home screen changing does not lag, it's the way its designed (not necessarily the best way) to change the homescreen after it has recieved the full command, so it doesnt follow the finger real time like you can see in the picture gallery for example. One thing was the lack of transitions that makes it seem slower. And another point is that somewhy the Nokia World 2010 show horrible N8s that are nothing like the 3 N8s I've used.

                                        That same phone that is in the video has probably recieved a software patch somewhere between today and the video too, cos it seemed noticeably faster today than it did for example a week ago.
