          sea-breeze, 30 Aug 2010today i hold in my hands a galaxy S ... what do nokia man... morei understand what you are saying mate but i dont think its fair to say thats what nokia use as there selling point i think any one thats willing to take out n8 are fully aware of the features thats why we want one.and just because its not gota biger computer than alot of smartphones its proven to be quiet fast and having a bigger computer has its disadvantages like poor battery life.

            till now nobody in nokia india knows about the exact release date but expected to release after 25 sept or may be 1 week of october for sure..
            i havent used nokia"s touch phones,
            but i didnt like the sim card slot feature..
            my last nokia phone was nokia n96,
            at that tyme options were not available..
            wt a waste of money i did..

            but specs say this will be a hit and surely will be..
            as i said black and silver are sure colours..
            green may come by this week..
            not sure abt blue or orange...
            even im interested in only orange one..
            will look pretty attractive in hand..
            green is smwhere girlish typo..
            blue looks pretty dull..

              sea-breeze, 30 Aug 2010today i hold in my hands a galaxy S ... what do nokia man... moreGalaxy S does not have a led or Xeon flash, to bad.
              But the Galaxy S is a good phone it beated that Crappel Iphone hahaha.
              But SamSung will bring new Symbian phones on the market, because i think they see some major improvements in Symbian4.

                today i hold in my hands a galaxy S ... what do nokia manager feel when he hold symbian in a hand and an android in the others :))))) nokia is so keen for the camera , they think the n8 camera is their selling point ..., but obviously thats not the market need anymore ..., really after trying the smooth galaxy s am again confused !

                a strong os as froyo android with all capabilities with ordinary camera

                or

                a super made camera with a very very poor OS !!


                what to choose !

                    i've given up on nokia when they released N97 .. the software was very poor, why even bother releasing a crappy phone(N97) I paid 600$ USD for a so called "Flagship Phone." Com'on Nokia?! seriously?!you expect people to still buy this phone?
                    After what you've made out of the N97, it's time to move on people don't waste your time buying Nokia Phones there are better Phones out there that's worth your cash, don't waste your money on this one ..

                                      Every one who thinks iphone is the best phone ever made think again stupid, iphone specs are JACK SHIT compared to the N8 and the Galaxy S.
                                      Sure it has retina display and a nice gui but that's it.
                                      It does not even have proper bluetooth or flash for example.
