pooper, 30 Jul 2010I watched symbian^3 demos on youtube and it looks a lot slo... moreI watched it also. Not slow this was a demonstration of the FEATURES not the responsiveness. Long story short I had to use my "OLD" 6680 to complete this phone contract. It almost identical in weight the N8 is thinner which shows you what 5 years & Nokia can do. The 6680 cpu is 220 Mhz and I can d/load maps, multi task. Both the N97 & N86 are 434Mhz. Where the N8 excels is the 10.2/2.0 3G+ speeds, 6680 384
this is a near perfect touch screen phone as phone goes.
It makes you wonder what next? I personally would have been happy with 8mp as I sent some 20 photos using 2 emails (10 per email) due zip attachment beig too large that only 3.2mp camera phone

I agree wit zangetsu, im glad nokia didnt pt 1 of dose dumb 1ghz processors, dat would hv killed da battery so quik n da heat would b a bad thing 4 dat 12mpx lens, also i lyk da amount of ram nokia hav given it, i dnt do 2 much on my fne n multitasking on symbian iz a breeze since it requires little ram, 256mb iz more dan enuf, however i hope nokia made da right decision in makn da battery non removal coz incase of freezes we r screwd n wit symbian it usualy happns so i hope wit diz version of symbian, al errors and bugs r removd, i hav an e90 bt it hardly happns, im also happy nokia made this thing out of aluminium, nt sum cheap plastic lyk da galaxy s which every1 has been bashing this fone with, i would b so embarasd 2 remove a galaxy s out of my pocket at a business meeting bt with a n8 i wouldnt mind, thats y i also love da arte series, its al abt class! By da way did any1 realise in da specs 4 stand by time 390 h in 2G and 400 h in 3G i hope datz nt a mistake! N sorry 4 typin in shortcuts, i typd diz on an e65, nokia 4 lyf! Oh n 2 al dose iphone lovers dat r also bashing da n8, da iphone needs a $2 bumper case to make a $800 gadget work, hahaha steve jobs does a great job 2 influence u ppl 2 buy dat fone hahahaha

I watched symbian^3 demos on youtube and it looks a lot slower and unresponsive than android or ios phones. Significantly slower! And that is a shame because the N8 has one of the most all-rounded hardware out of any smartphone on the market.
That and the release date makes me wonder if the N8 is even going to succeed or not.

I don't get it why there are so many of you ignorant and angry fools bashing this phone (or any other phone, brand, etc) Let's take few examples:
1: CPU: 680 MHz ARM11 and 256 MB RAM:- some OSs are not hungry for that crunching power of 1+GHz CPU and don't use as much RAM, therefore Nokia can afford to use a previews generation of CPU with lower clock speeds, because it can handle the OS good enough, it does not drain battery like crazy, and it doesn't get super HOT(i had problems with Moto Milestone(Droid) doing same things as my HTC Hero, the droid getting too hot in most common tasks like web browsing, even browsing the Market and installing apps).
2: Display Resolution of 360*640 on a 3.5 inch screen is perfectly fine, remember the iPhone's res and screen size, it didn't seem to bother anyone, and the N8's is even higher. I have a PSP with 480*272 resolution and is decent enough to watch a movie/cartoon on it.
3: Symbian^3 is a new OS, redesigned functionality wise. Of course, the UI resembles S60v5 a lot, but as far as i've seen it runs much smoother, and they've improve it a lot since it was first demoed.
4: Camera is very important for some people, after all, for a phone the most common uses are: making calls, texting/email, taking pictures/videos and web browsing --which are very well implemented on the N8. Other features like gaming appeal more to a niche segment of the market, and the phone also manages to run a few up to date cross platform titles.
I know there are phones with a lot more power under the hood, but you can't accomplish a lot more with that extra grunt.
Please excuse me if i made any language mistakes, i'm from Romania.
Cheers!

Trent, 30 Jul 2010Well.. Yes I did. As I really want the N8. But without that... moreHi trent. Just wondering where you saw/read about the checkerboard effect? If it's not too much trouble do you mind posting the link of your source? I'd like to see it too... it is a bit worrying if it does this. Thanks in advance.

N8 is perfect.
Me: Hey N8 bro, when will you be released from your cage?
N8: I don't know, ask Nokia's head.

we w... moreyou have tested symbian 3^ ? You are owner of a N8 all ready? You found symbian 3^ slow and boring?
Go troll somewhere else. Symbian 3^ and the future 4^ are something new. I believe if Nokia name this OS anything unlike the word symbian none would say all those bad things, for an unreleased OS...
