I just play games for fun and didn't take it seriously, now you point out the difference i can clearly see it. But still, i guess it's too late for me to turn back, i already planned what to do with n8 when i get mine and i have so much fun just imagining. Haha, i hope n8's final version will improve in terms of gaming.

[deleted post]That's one thing I've always said about this device. It's maybe abit more for grown ups, the free navigation for example, how many pre-teens need that?
When people ask here whether they should get N8 or iPhone, I often tell them to think what they need, if they wanna play games and goof around with applications, iPhone hands down, if you value other functional features like USB OTG, bluetooth3, free navigation, good camera etc, get the N8.
That's the beauty of this too, diversity, get what suits you the best. For me, the N8 is the best balanced device for my needs I could get for the money.

Wheez, 12 Sep 2010It's only 680Mhz, yes, but the N8 has a dedicated GPU that ... morewell maybe the N8 might beat the Samsung galaxy s at 1ghs speed with N8 specs but the smoothness and profit wise will never beat iphone 4 and samsng galaxy s wise... hows them apple now huh!! ...

hayato, 13 Sep 2010I forgot. It's been a long time since i do my research. And... more "but n8's video of asphalt 4 last on my brain for such a long time. Maybe it's my first impression on the work"
did i get this right, you say N8 performance with apshalt looked good? and did you mean asphalt5?

you say this runs smooth? actually thats very laggy, i know someone could think it runs fast, because they made the video faster than its really is to make the game feel fast car game.
but if you watch that, there is very slow frame there and there. I really wait to see that game on last version, but what iv seen the same game couple of times on N8 its not run near as good as other platforms.
so its interesting why so many keep saying n8 has amazing gpu, if it is it should run games and couple of day old video of nfs shift game didn't run smoothly either

Ok, galaxy s is good, but even if i decided right now that i like it and want it, it will never be released on my country. Sorry. And it doesn't have 12mp too so i can't be deciding that way, i'm already in love with n8's camera.

And i don't watch galaxy s videos too, since it i think it will never be released on my country, therefore leaving my list too soon. I watch videos of wave and iphone 4 however, they look fantastic but n8's video of asphalt 4 last on my brain for such a long time. Maybe it's my first impression on the work. Let me check the videos once again to refresh my mind. About the need for speed shift video, i watched that video yesterday since one of you posted it in here. The loading problem didn't irritate me that much. As long as the game can be played smoothly with realistic graphics, it's ok for me.

Also, are you comparing them to old Symbians or to really Symbian^3?

Duel, 13 Sep 2010"tried n8 nor iphone or galaxy. But after doing some r... moreI'm 95% sure the video and picture editor laggyness is the software, not the hardware or the OS. Everything else runs with like 60 FPS on the N8, but then when u open either picture or video editor before even doing anything, just being in the many is hell of a struggle. That can't be explained with the phone IMO, I'd say the edit software is badly optimized for the phone, cos there's nothing that requires good specs in the menu, yet it has like 10 FPS.
You are right, the GPU can't do everything and its true that when ur at the point where the GPU cant be utilized, the 1Ghz CPU will probably win in like loading times as you mentioned. The game itself should run as well/better with a dedicated GPU.
As said, it's about balance. Android phones don't know how to use the SoC integrated graphics to render the UI, iPhone 4 can and Symbian^3 can (although its not integrated but dedicated) so in everyday use and apart from some very heavy applications, I'd say the balance of the N8 is better. Most of the time I do not play games on my phone or edit videos, but just the every day use.
Flash heavy sites will lag on any current smartphone, the default web browser gives different opinions. Few sites have been praising it and saying that they downloaded Opera but never ended up using it cos the default was so good, some say its crappy and laggy (could be earlier versions?), nevertheless they are redoing the browser with Qt that should make it quite abit better, but that won't make it into the retail box, so maybe later this year.
