Apart from the hardware, N8 has the best design of all Nokia phones...

If you wanna buy a phone for playing games i'd say, only for you to be shore that you are not out of games:)), go for sgh2. I won't buy it, but i admit android has more games than symbian, allot more.

        sars, 07 Sep 2012thanks again for ur help.about music quality what do u sugg... moreYou are right, a bigger cpu and more ram are not gonna be very noticeable in symbian belle interface, but it would be noticeable in surfing the internet or opening more apps, also in playing games (but... there are plenty hd games, working without problems in n8) The systems are the same, so when comes to music, the quality is the same. Ok maybe better on 701 because of the fp1 which brings Dolby digital. There is also a mod for n8, but i don't know how much Dolby is in that sound. The speakers and headphones are quite the same. I got my n8 packed with wh-701 headset. You, kind of covered them all. So at the end is your choice:). N8 has better camera, hdmi port, better display etc. 701 is newer, and at some points is better, also has nfc (if you need it). I like more the n8 because of the design and the camera, and the anodized alu body(ok, hdmi port and 16gb mem :Dto). To tell you the truth i would give this phone only for it's big brother, 808. The belle fp1 has allot of improvements, more eyecandy UI. Belle refresh is also well done, but it's ui is not changed, only in some apps and has some new widgets. I won't mind having an 701 ider, but i won't give my n8 for one. So, it is only your choice. We cannot choose for you. They are nokia, so both are good devices. You can trust both...so!

            what i think is that the better cpu on 701 is not gonna do any better comparing to n8.but maybe fp1 or fp2 is.im confused.thanx again.

But has some disadvantages: mediocre camera, lcd display ( n8 has amoled, way better) smaller mass memory storage (8gb), verry ugly:). I would peek the 701 with n8' camera and design:)). If the camera is not so important to you and it's design doesn't bother you, i recommand 701. But if the camera is more important... N8 does a verry good job at it's age, and with the new belle refresh.

                                sars, 03 Sep 2012what im really confused about is which one i should but 701... morei am also in the same confusion but i brought the nokia n8 and now i am very happy with my decision. 701 has the worst camera and sound. It only get the cpu & ram improvement. If you want a multimedia or camera phone let stay with n8. If you prefer speed & ui over these its best to buy any android phone.

All you have to know is that you will lose allot of apps that are preinstalled in C drive and some of them are hard to get back(maps, adobe, quickoffice, photo/video editor, nokia store, etc.) hard reset is recommended only if your phone does not boot up anymore. So, the method: turn the phone off. Now, keep menu button-camera key-volume key down, pressed all together. Keep them pressed while turn on the phone (if it's hard to do this, than ask someone to turn on the phone for you). Keep them pressed until the phone boots up and ask for your country etc. Remember you will lose everything so backup first.

                                        [deleted post]What part was so poor that kids could not understand? Yes, the fact that we had an argue here is a little strange. But you can see, from start till the end, that we have different requirements from a gadget. You can peek up the best advice that suits for you... Custom firmware has all mod's that you want and don't want. In official one you have to do things by your self (this is what i like). CameraPro has all sorts of adjustments but not very important, for me (i can do them all way better in my PC) Default camera doesn't have so many, but has way better quality when comes to look at the picture in your PC. Take the same shot with both cameras and copy it in your pc, you will see what i mean only by opening the pic... after 100% zoom, all will be clear.
