Yeah, it's a real shame see people act like idiots. Sure there are iPhone owners who come here as well to say stupid stuff, but it most certainly happens both ways.
I still think iPhone has made huge success cos out of the things it can do, it does them very, very, very well. The catch is though that it does have quite limited features compared to other smartphones. However, if you don't need those features, the iPhone can well be worth the money.
It's like buying a 300 euro laptop and then complaining that it can't run the latest games with max graphics :D
People need to realize that all these smartphones have their pros and cons and there isn't such thing as a best smartphone, cos at least still now, it's alot about tradeoffs cos there isnt so much you can put in one case without making it huge or have nonexistant battery life.
So, at best the "best smartphones" are only opinions and personal preferences and you can't tell other people what they want or need, that's why I always try to tell people who ask here like "N8 or iPhone, which one to buy" to think what they need and want first, cos they are so very different devices.
Also, hail from Finland as well :D

what i learned you are fanboy and gay also
I also bought one year ago my first iphone (still have it) and the same day i was called fanboy and gay and that kind of stuff and the same has been the whole year (not in real life only forums)
Thats why i really has started to hate nokia, its weird i really dont have anything bad to say their phone when i used them. But now i really *censored* hate the whole nokia and all because applehaters made that.
I think so many apple users think like me. I think nokiafans even dont know how much hurt they make to nokia brand.
By the way i'm from finland where's nokia came and now i *censored* hate everything what they do and i can say for sure i'm not only one, and its not phones i hate, i hate nokiausers, i know all of them arent samekind
i'v seen here this guy called "wheez", i see he is those good nokia fans, which can see also something else than nokia.
By they what is the difference with applehater and nokia hater?
Nokia haters says bad things about nokia's phone
Apple haters says bad things about apple users
you nokiafans really should read what i wrote and think it

I can't figure really anything I'd wanna change in Symbian^3, it's by far the best Symbian till now and by a big jump.
I would not take Android or iOS instead, myself. I don't really like Maemo either on the N900.

I really loved Nokia in the past and really am wishing to love this phone. The specs are great and having a camera of such magnitude would be a blessing but the OS just doesn't live up to today's competition. I wish this phone would have been bundled with the MeeGo OS. Symbian is not the future of Nokia and they have stated that MeeGo will be the choose for top smart phones. Buying a symbian phone will only hurt consumers when no one is willing to create top quality apps for it. Until Nokia gets it right I guess I'll be staying with my iPhone 4. I am not an Apple fanboy (this is my first iphone) but Nokia should have gone with MeeGo on N8.

friday, 17 Sep 2010I think its something to do with that very old ARM11 model ... moreThat's well possible. But it's still not necessarily about ARM 11 being bad. It could be that the games have not been optimized for ARM 11, but possibly for that ARM Cortex 8 or whatever it is.
I've seen the same thing on games I've beta tested. Specswise as good components, be it gfx card or CPU, run the game very differently, just cos it was optimized better for the other. All Points Bulletin-game for example ran shitloads better with systems that had nVidia than systems that had ATI.

N8 at does not have qwerty on portraid mode by default. I'm not sure if u can turn it on somehow, but at least its off then by default. Probably when Swype comes, this can be resolved at least.

I watched hero of sparta game performance with N8, iphone 3g, 3gs and 4 and noticed iphone 3g performance is very similar than N8, its not smooth at all.
Then i watched those phones specs and learned that 3g is only iphone which uses that old ARM11 too.

Does any one know whether the keyboard is shown in both portrait and landscape modes? Some touchscreen telephones do not display the keyboard in portrait mode.

They arn't normal screws either (although they can be opened with a "normal" screwdriver of a certain size), but since they are special screws with no special screwdriver, it's certainly preinstalled.

One of the items included in the N* package is the battery. What I do not know is if it is already installed or the owner has to install it. If the owner has to install it, then there cannot be a loss of warranty for removing it. If it comes pre-installed, then I can see and issue if the owner removes it.
