[deleted post]So lets look at this statement...

For all those people who think that Nokia is a follower or copier..
Nokia N8 is the 1st phone with :-
1)WiFi n - Wrong others have had it the Wi-Fi n specification has only just been signed off, so it was in draft, there are other phones which had the draft variant built in, it will just need a firmware update to bring it to full spec.

2)HDMI output - Whoopee doo, it's a bloody phone, not a DVD/Video recorder.

3)USB port support. you can connect your memory stick or hard drive directly into the phone - OK, so it'll drain your phones battery in a minute or two & you'll have no phone or HDD/usable memory stick! Whoo Hoo!

4)Dolby Digital surround sound technology. Utterly useless as it's an offence to play music in public without a Public Performance Licence, it's an offence to play it on a train, bus or any other location where it's likely to cause a nuisance or offence to others.

)12MP and 720p both into one phone - Been & done long ago by others and how long is the lens going to last without a cover on it? Answer - Not long. HD video pointless unless you have serious amounts of expensive memory.

6)5 band 3.5G support - Maybe unique, so what?

7)Aluminium Uni body - Seriously easy to damage & seriously expensive to replace, it's also a good conductor of electricity, so it could get charged statically & zap the electronics inside. Result one dead phone...

Nokia aren't smart, in fact they're rather dumb because they've not listened one jot to their customers who are not in the least bit satisfied with their bug ridden & puerile previous efforts.

~~~~~~~

Well doh, how many phone producer has put all those features into one single device (and speaking of android phone)? None. And it's apparently gonna be nokia, who will take the chance 1st. I'm no nokia fanboy, infact i used to get along with samsung, but ur manner is quite ridiculous and yes, i think it's u who are dumb. For the sake of your dumbness, no one is required nor forced to play his/her gadget in public just because he/she has dolby surround enabled device. Ever heard place called home or something like indoor? But if you're shelterless bummer, my condolences to you.

      One thing is still missing: xvid/divx support out-of-the-box.

        Mobil1, 01 May 2010Most of the users here just regurgitate info they read some... moreTheoretically symbian OS does not need too much RAM nor a powerful CPU but in reality it's worth cranking it up a little bit just ask any N97 user.
        Symbian 3 is the first symbian OS that has been coded from ground up specifically for touch screen devises and believe me you never know how strong the OS is until the public get involved.
        So we can shout and dance, curse and praise throw our hands up in the air in despair or excitement truth is new OS is never perfect when released and more RAM is kinda like insurance just in case things don't got to plan like N97.

                  Most of the users here just regurgitate info they read somewhere else. The fact is that Symbian does not need a ton of RAM & an extremely fast processor to run its devices.

                  There is nothing wrong with the N8 whatsoever, it is hands down the best imaging device on the market, & the comparisons to the iPhone are getting so old. Let me know when you can get the new iPhone 4G for $500.00.

                  Apple has ONE device to focus on, & being a previous 3Gs owner, it is not that great of a device. I won't go into what it lacks, because if you have ever owned one, then you know its short-comings.

                  If anyone thinks that Nokia is doomed, you are truly misguided. They may be late to the party, but you can guarantee that when Nokia announces its S^4 & MeeGo devices, Apple will be a mere memory.

                  Oh....& a 96% "Daily Interest" just shows how popular this device will be.

                                For all those people who think that Nokia is a follower or copier..
                                Nokia N8 is the 1st phone with :-
                                1)WiFi n
                                2)HDMI output
                                3)USB port support. you can connect your memory stick or hard drive directly into the phone.
                                4)Dolby Digital surround sound technology.
                                5)12MP and 720p both into one phone.
                                6)5 band 3.5G support.
                                7)Aluminium Uni body.
                                If Nokia is still a copier then I think no brand is a innovator.
                                Now if Nokia has introduced these features for the first time in a phone, what do you all think? No other brand can put any of these features in their phones. Otherwise they will be copier.
                                This is how the game is played. One brand does something. Other follows it and together with it adds some new features in a phone and so on.
                                And by the way if Nokia N8 happens to be a ugly phone then how come the design rating is 8.7(when I wrote).
                                All those saying bad about the phone and Nokia are jealous and want to show that they are smart.

                                    symbian 3 is not as the previous symbians were. it is much faster, less bugs, more features and works with QT so apps are quick to come.
