prakash, 03 May 2010Nokia N8 is the 1st phone with :- 1)WiFi n 2)HDMI output ... moreNokia N8 is the 1st phone with :-
1)WiFi n - Wrong! Others have had it draft form for ages, the draft has just been verified so a firmware update will make it official, so Nokia is behind again.

2)HDMI output - Unless it's got a great battery life & a brilliant grafix card inside an utterly pointless addition.

3)USB port support. you can connect your memory stick or hard drive directly into the phone. - Attach a USB HDD & it'll be good night within a couple of minutes as the battery will be drained at a phenomenal rate, so no phone, no HDD either, so pointless unless it's for data transfer from a PC/Laptop or Mac.

4)Dolby Digital surround sound technology. - Useless in the UK as you need a PPL (Public Performance Licence) to play music in public, it's also illegal to play music aloud on Buses, Trains, Trams or anywhere where it's likely to cause a nuisance to others, so is only of any use maybe in Noise Cancelling Headphones.

5)12MP and 720p both into one phone - Yawn, others have already been there, done that, Nokia is at least 18 months behind the rest & you don't need stupidly high pixel counts unless you intend to produce super-sized prints, that's A3 upwards.

6)5 band 3.5G support. - So what, it's useless without the other networks to back it up.

7)Aluminium Uni body - Expensive to buy & expensive to replace as you won't be able to repair it easily if at all, it's also a good conductor of heat, so don't leave it in the sun, it will burn you when you pick it up & conducts static electricity easily too so will be easily zapped by everyday static produced by your clothes or other means.

Good design? No, seriously flawed & poor design.
also its very good design

      I hope nokia makes a widget that let us slide it to lock the screen, and when we press the menu button the widget shows up to let us to slide to unlock the screen.

      Or there is any good ideas
