Anonymous, 12 Jun 2010This is a very good phone, but it could have done better. ... moreIf you knew anything about mobile phones and processors, you would know that the numbers quoted for a processor do not determine the speed of the device. If fact, it is possible for a 'slower' processor to be process more data that its 'faster' counterpart per unit time. You would also know that the optimum processor requirement of a mobile is almost in totality dictated by its os. This means a 'slower' processor may run an os faster than a 'faster' processor would run another. In fact, the only thing about a processor that can be predicted by its 'numbers' is the amount of power it consumes and the amount of waste heat it produces. You would should therefore understand that its every designers interest to put the best processor and nothing excess. The processor in the n8 is a 750 downclocked to 680. Why in your opinion would nokia down clock the cpu?

Would you prefer a 1500 removable battery and a 5800 sized phone to this model? The battery quotations are good enough. Nokia is trying to sell phones not impress you. I for one, wont mind a thick or even ugly phone so long it performs but the majority do.

25 frames a second is good enough. My only disappointment in this phone is the mono speakers. . .

    Our interest is getting hit by apple sheep all over. We need some real daily interest boosts here. Where have all the Nokia fans gone? Everyone needs to come back. So we can walk all over Iphone 4 again.

        Yes & report of the first release N8 firmware being already very stable with not many bugs. Nokia knows now that future S^ phones need a good start, need to look good, need to be simple to use, pretty to look at etc... This area Nokia needs to have handsets working well with no issues. All we need in Symbian is convergence. Apples has 200,000 aps, Android 50,000 apps.

        Symbian needs some real interested parties, developers, community, from every platform now the code is open, to bring S^ ahead of it's competition. Can this be done. Never say never. e need real motivation, confidence, that this OS is a little powerhouse of a gem over the rest of the competition.

                          Why nokia should be given respect?

                          They invested billions in developing gsm umts etc patents

                          they have put much effort into the symbian and meego os

                          they wont overprice their phone like apple does

                                  actually there are many good cooments from nokia users at famous tech site like engadget and allaboutsymbian.

                                  They says symbian is a light os, hence it does not need the cpu speed and ram that required by other os

                                  i can test symbian on e72 which has 600!hz cpu, it run smoothly

                                  n8 has 680 mhz and dedicated gpu. It is enough, and it is already proved by youtube prototype video

                                    Yup it is 2-finger multi-touch. But the good news is that they fixed all those lag issues you see in the original N8 videos from April - pinch-zoom, swipes were working pretty smooth, in fact I will probably get down-ranked for saying..."iPhone smooth" :-) Seriously the capacitive sensor and UI responsiveness on the N8 easily equals the iPhone's which till I now I considered the best one in the industry. Android doesn't even come close - I tried my N1 with Froyo and compared it to my friend's N8. No contest N8 was loads more responsive than the N1. So that should settle the 1Ghz debate.
