    ¤Flash Support¤ YouTube fans and gamers rejoice – Flash is supported on the Nokia N8. It’s a Flash 10.1 compatible Flash runtime (ActionScript 3) and player, called Flash Lite. A point to note: the device does not support all of Flash 10 features for graphics but all video-related features are supported.

      ¤WebTV¤
      WebTV is another new weapon added to the
      Nokia N8 ’s arsenal. The Web TV application
      delivers TV programs, news and entertainment
      from channels like Paramount, E! Entertainment,
      CNN and National Geographic. Locally relevant
      Web TV content will also available from the Ovi

        ¤Aluminium¤
        The Nokia N8 is crafted from a single piece of
        anodised aluminium. The process of anodising
        the aluminum increases its corrosion and wear
        resistance. With the casings ’ ultra scratch-
        resistant powers, you can scratch a set of keys
        on the back of the device and with a quick wipe
        the mark will magically disappear. The anodised
        aluminium doesn ’t just banish scratches, it also
        means it’s possible to bring the N8 to the market
        in a rainbow of colours.

          Symbian ^3 OS seem to be simple with low memory in ROM and low system request. And N8 can update to Symbian ^4? Soft same Android 2.1 to 2.2 or hard like HD2 run Android? Who can confirm it?

                            Recently i find that my n97 mini is so powerful that

                            it le me do something interestinng like

                            download pirated latest movies,whole album music, hong kong tvb dramma series, via torrent @symtorrent app

                            the opera mobile also let me to download the pirated stuff from site like sendspace, megaupload, hotfile, filesend which are popular in asia

                            and i also find a good app that play the rmvb format video on my phone without any conversion on my computer, if you want to try it, google "nokiafanclub rmvb n97"

                                    To all those who are saying that N8 will be slow.

                                    ARM 11 680 mhz (is enough) + 3D Graphics HW accelerator + a powerful Broadcom GPU ( beated I9000 Galaxy S ARM a8 1GHZ) = a powerful and flawless N8 overall mobile experience!

                                    The battery can be removed by screw drivers.

                                    ***** Pls chech this Video,N8 is connected with 1.5TB(Terabyte) external Hard Disk..

                                    You can connect to WEB Tv via 3G connection. Remember it is fully 3g! it has 10.2 mbps HSDPA and 2.0 mbps HSUPA

                                      The battery can be removed and replaced (there is an instructional video on the net), but it is not as easy as pop cover and swap on the go as it used to be in Nokia phones. With proliferation of various portable recharge devices this is a less of issue for heavy users, than this could be in the past. Meanwhile, the benefit is slimmer and more robust and sturdy device.
