              95% daily interest. Yeah right! Do u know what that means? That, of all the guys who log in to the GSMArena site 95% of them check out this forum (N 8's forum), but ofcourse there are those of the 95% that check out other forums. This's called a real hit. Whether a hater or a fan u are glued to this forum. Lol!!

                I'm not normally a Nokia fan, but I had the pleasure of playing with an N8 a couple of days back, and its actually impressive. Dont be fooled by the 680mhz processor, this phone is FAST. keeping up with the 1ghz phones easy, simply because all the visuals are processed on the dedicated GPU, leaving the CPU free to just process background tasks, something not possible with the current snapdragons or hummingbirds.

                Symbian has been obviously improved as well, the whole interface feels much more touch friendly, the double tab nonsense of before has gone, which along with capacitive technology in the screen makes everything feel really nice and smooth.

                I only got to talk to the Nokia guy for about 10 minutes, but I've been in the mobile industry for 3 years, I've had Iphones, Samsung handsets (Android, and currently BADA, SE handsets running Symbian, basically everything you can imagine. I've always avoided Nokia phones due to a strong dislike, but the N8 is seriously making me consider my next choice of upgrade.

                Dont hate it, before you try it, trust me.

                  SidewindeR, 11 Sep 2010OMG... 95% daily interest!!! Yeah we're back in business ba... moreIt will be an epic failiure because Symbian3 is still Symbian and not being able to easily remove the battery aftet one a the many traditional crashes will make most customers very angry. The small screen-resolution is not ok on a top end multimedia top end smartphone, and the traditionally small Nokia battery is definetly mot acceptable today, and only 256 mb ram is not enough to be able to multitask.
                  Android is based on Linux and it is much better than Symbian, and MeeGo can maybe be as good as Android but its constant delays indicate problems with MeeGo. Nokias only chance to compete against the markets top phones from HTC and Samsung is to abandon the Symbian failiure. Nokia fans are even more blind and fanatic than IPhone-fans.

                        I just got Samsung Galaxy S, and i must admit the screen is out of this world!
                        but there are so many features i miss from nokia (upgraded from nokia 5800) like profiles, flash support on websites Galaxy doesnt even show any flash content browsing web is kinda boring compared to 5800!

                                I think it has something to do with my comment about the facts. I asked if he is japanese because he kept on saying the term "baka" which literally translates to "stupid" in english. Maybe i'm misunderstood.

                                Or is it because i used a vulgar word. But i covered the "u" with asterisk, and it is meant for someone deserving.

                                But anyway, any of you guys prefer a silicone case? Nokia is selling some, does it mean n8 is prone to scratches? I don't like silicone cases, but i might get one. Dark grey is my choice of color :)

                                    I played with a green Nokia N8 for only a few minutes at the demo. The color was not exactly on top of my list. The black one looked better in my opinion. The N8 felt rugged, tough, and solid in the hand. It’s not the prettiest thing in the world, but I have a feeling it will grow on me.

                                    I didn’t have time to dive deep into the OS. The interface of Symbian^3 felt expectedly similar to Symbian^1 found on the N97, N97 mini, X6, etc. The major differences I noticed during my hands-on were the multiple homescreens, Cover-Flow albums (not sure how Nokia calls it), and the visual multi-tasker. The homescreen widgets and app menus felt basically the same. Next time I have the opportunity to look at the Nokia N8 and Symbian^3, I would like to pay more attention to how it handles offline mode and switching between wifi and 3G connections.

                                    There was multi-touch aka pinch-to-zoom on the photos and web browser, but not on Ovi Maps. It felt snappy! I was disappointed that I couldn’t test the web browser because there was no wifi and the AT&T services could not get a connection at the location.

                                      I played with the camera on the Nokia N8 a bit. I’m a fan of wide-angle lens and the Nokia N8 has it! Digital zoom looks good. Objects didn’t appear blurry or pixelated on the screen when zoomed in. The face detection focus was pretty cool, too. I couldn’t give the xenon flash a proper test, but flash properly fired when I took a photo of an object against a large window with morning sunlight shining in. It looked good from the device’s screen, but I couldn’t upload it online for closer inspection.

                                      Overall, I think the Nokia N8′s 12mp camera with xenon flash and HD recording will be the major selling point for me. Those who hate Symbian will most likely still hate Symbian^3. The UI changes aren’t noticeable but that was already expected. The Nokia N8 will be available late summer of 2010 for EUR 370.
