    Tom-Helge, 18 May 2010Dude, you can't be much updated about specifications on mob... moreHi Tom,

    You do not seem to be the smartest chap around here. Funny thing is, you talk as if you are very knowledgeable about processors etc, when it is clear you are not. You see, just going by processor speed is simply Stupid. Yes, I said that. Stupid. Not only does Symbian have much less hardware requirements than Android (since it is not a VM) and is a much more nimble. Aside from that, the UI in S^3 is hardware accelerated (Android is not, which is another reason it needs a snapdragon, which also brings terrible battery life) , why do you not include the GPU in your analysis? The one in the N8 is pretty good, as far as I know the Snapdragon one is...nonexistent? It is ironic, that you compare all these things like CPU, RAM, etc, then wield them like they are weapons in a fight, when they are actually necessary evil, necessary to make Android run smooth, killing your battery while doing so. What is good about that? That is just as stupid as a megapixel race.

    Listen, I am not against the X10, I like the device, just not the OS or the rubber. I like the N8's design better, its camera, the brand (personal) its made of aluminum which I like as well, etc etc. I just think the discussion here is very shallow, and resembles bickering between opposing football fans more than furthering understanding.

    Why?

            [deleted post]my frind please dont compare satio that is announced in february 2009 and is released october 2009 with N8 that is anounced in april 2010 and will be available in q3 2010!
            overall satio is a very good phone even now and was excellent in its release time

              Niraj, 18 May 2010Why dont you simply shut up and write these comment on SE X... moreI can shut up totally when you guys realize that this phone is not high spec even if it have more internal memory, USB function that isn't really usefull today, great build quality (Yeah my XPERIA X1 and X10 also have great build quality even if the X10 is out of plastic mostly).

              My X10 also have FM radio, or it can use FM Radio at least, you just have to use this to get it to work: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mw600?cc=no&lc=no.

              You don't really need any phones to get that to work as a radio though. But still, my X10 was delivered with an FM radio.

              A secondary camera isn't really needed today. My XPERIA X1 have a secondary camera. And how much do you think i have used it?. 2 times in 1 year lol.

              So even if the N8 have those functions that X10 doesn't have, it doesn't mean the N8 is high spec.

              Well yeah, i agree, it's high spec to be Nokia, but that's it.

And it is also an improved software, as reviewed by the Chinese. The platform experienced total change from the foundation of S^1, meaning it's functions and fluidity is completely different. Only the appearance is still the same.

                    Anonymous, 18 May 2010hopefully its around RM1800 and below in malaysia. but in e... moreHello. It depends on your daily needs. If you are the type who like to exploit every last bit of your phone's capability, then by all means, go for the N900. However, if you are the type which like to take photos spontaneously and like to try out something new or refreshing, I would definitely recommend the N8. I also believe the N8 will be slightly cheaper than the N900 since the N900 has a release price of Euro 500 while the N8 will be priced at around Euro 370 before tax.

                    I would definitely get myself a N8 since I like to take photos and also have a liking for capacitive touchscreen as well as OLED screen. =D

                          You say it is better than x10 in only camera wise and bt 3.0..? See these other specifications of N8:
                          USB On Go
                          Wifi n
                          Great build quality
                          Fm Radio
                          Fm transmitter
                          Secondry camera

                          These things are not present on X10.. But x10 has fluid ui, good screen resolution and big screen, which is better than n8...

                            Jim, 18 May 2010Have you guys read ALL the specs on this?! Its a beast! no ... moreDude, you can't be much updated about specifications on mobile phones today. You must be living in stone age or something.

                            First of all, calling this a high spec mobile phone with a poor ARM 11 680 MHz processor is as stupid as it can get. It doesn't even have an ARM Cortex CPU. FAIL FAIL FAIL.

                            And calling a screen with 360x640 resolution for high spec is as much fail as it can get to. 360x640 resolution is soooooooo early 2009.

                            This is called low spec, not high spec.

                            You Nokia crowd are funny as hell.

                            As for performance and smoothness, my Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 smokes the N8 extremely hard in everything except for the camera / recording thing.

                            Oh, N8 also have Bluetooth 3.0, wooooh, 2 things that are better than the X10.

                            So my question is though, since this phone is mainly for camera usage. Then why is it running Symbian when the phone can't really be used for anything else than the camera / recording function because of the N8 have a crap CPU that's can't run many programs today without lagging badly.
