@ Ola
The one issue you should be aware of is the purple screen problem with the AMOLED. It doesn't affect all N8's just some and is common enough to cause concern. The best thing to do is try the phone out in the shop to see if it has a very noticeable purple tint on the screen.

hi guys,
While phone is idling and without any application active, my RAM is free about 73mb only. the rest seems utilized for something.
1. How to see any hidden application which running in background and consume the RAM?
2. How to clear up that RAM to minimize level which give me more room for other applications.
3. What is the optimize RAM when phone is in idling mode?
Thanks in advance.

UJJ, 06 Nov 2011Question for Ray?
All things considered, what would be y... more
@ UJJ.
I don't really have a top five of my own but there are three phones I'd like to get my hands on. The first being the new Motorola RAZR

The second one would be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus which comes with the latest Ice Cream Sandwich variety of Android.

And finally the Samsung Galaxy S II.

As for the new iPhone 4s, it does have some decent hardware inside and looks quite good but it's Apple which means you pay a higher premium than you ought to and the OS is very restrictive in terms of what you can and can't do. I like my freedom too much and don't like being dictated to by the likes of the recently departed Steve Jobs.
All the best.

@ celladik
You are correct, Android running on low spec hardware is a nasty experience. Just five minutes playing with my friends Wildfire was enough for me.
Android running on my Galaxy S is a much better experience but there is still a very slight lag now and again and I don't particularly like the Touchwiz interface. The main reason I use the SGS as my main phone is the size of the screen. It makes reading text a lot easier than on my N8.
The rooting procedure on Android phones basically gives you super user privileges to allow access to the root of the OS. This is useful for certain apps such as Titanium Backup which wouldn't work otherwise. The downside to rooting is that it opens the phone up to attacks from viruses and the like. Not so with Symbian which is incredibly immune from viral attacks without the need for third party anti-virus software.
I wasn't going to bother updating my N8 to Belle but I probably will now, just to see what it's like.
All the best.

after using both platform which is android and sy... more Well, I agree with you, Android runs better on higher specs and needs them to run as smoothly. I have have an N8 and an HTC/Droid phone. I think the N8 with Belle will be a great combo and very usable. The ram and cpu will be very good after reviewing the various forums and videos with the "unofficial" installs on N8s out there.
To Rays point, it may be too little too late, but it'll still be an outstanding value with exceptional connectivity and usablilty. The N8 is still available, this too says something about its viablity as it's been in the market over a year.

Well its been a year and my N8 continues to impress. Ordered a HD media player and got a broke one. Having some friends over, what can I do? Well hooked up my N8 to the tv via hdmi. First time I've done it since Anna update. I was blown away by the new interface. This thing really rocks. The N8 is great

hi ray
after using both platform which is android and symbian belle, belle is still more efficient on lower cpu and gpu... Hell angry birds lags bigtime on my android 600mhz cpu and adreno 200 gpu.. Only good thing in android is ui and thats what many people are blind of. Im not saying that android is not a good os but its not performing well in low cpus...
