duel, 12 Sep 2010i think the bigger problem is very old processor but yes... moreThe processor is considerably slower than it's competitors, but don't forget that the N8 has a dedicated GPU that most of it's competitors lack. In every day use, that'll equal out to at least having only a 1ghz processor. Naturally though, in a sandbox environment the 1ghz will still process faster, but as running the OS takes a big chunk of the resources, in reality its abit different.

Nokia N8s dedicated GPU will be taking like half the strain off the CPU in running the OS and other visual stuff like in games, etc.

As for slowness in loading speed for the NFS: Shift, it could come down from these things, Id figure loading the game up can mainly utilize the processor only and not really the GPU, as for general slowness in some videos, they are also beta software while you are comparing it to released products.

As for the RAM, Symbian being so light that it's easily sufficient. After bootup there's over 128mb RAM left solely for applications and other things, and even with real multitasking of the N8 (so not just freezing them like iPhone), I think I was told that at 75 apps running in the background at the same time, it ran out of memory.

So the RAM is sufficient.

            watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok4LaIt-wSc nfs shift with different iphones

            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD_Y2UX_jBg same on N8 (game starts halfway on that video)

            Interesting loading time comparison, if you compare that last loading window, it takes huge time with n8, even about 10 seconds longer than two years old iphone 3g

            N8 load that game 35 seconds, that's long time!!! iphone 4 takes 5 sec, iphone 3gs 8 sec and even 3g takes about 22 second.

            That's very interesting

            here is also same game on galaxy s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpQyfbLLyHQ takes about 10 sec

            Could N8 really be that SLOW?

            The browser was disappoinment too, it was laggy with just only one flash animation.

                  "Nokia answer team: With the Nokia N8, you can move large files conveniently with USB on-the-go to memory stick or compatible hard drive and further to PC, ready to upload into video sharing web services.
                  If the hard drive needs more than 200mAh power, it needs to have an external power supply."

                        Yeah you are correct n8 it has 12MP with xenon flash but ¡°no videolights¡± The LCD is amoled but my question is not brghter than samsung jet,omnia,pixon is contains also AMOLED. anyone explain what kind of nokia LCD Amoled use? Nokia Amoled is not expected brghter than samsung jet,pixon,ominia is amoled but is very brghter and clear resolution. i think nokia still using low quality amoled resolution to n8. so i recommend to wait e7 or n9 superamoled,snapdragon,1ghz processor,meego. the great important in multmedia phone is brighter resolution, high processor.

                                        symbian 3 ui is not total change of symbian 1ui,this is the biggest dissapointment, other than this, everything is perfect

                                        just the ui not the symbian 3 performance!

                                        Ithought nokia took more than one year to come upwith this phone since n97mini, they should have a totalnew ui
