        The processor is just fine, its a symbian corporations symbian os, it doesn't need 1ghz processor like in googles android to work.
        Also symbian is a much lighter os than android so the ram and rom is well enough.
        Also you missd the 720p recording and tv-out
        The largest sensor, not megapixels, in a phone. advantage
        I am not that impressd with the resolution though.

            hi guys. i'm planning to buy a new phone but i'm having a hard time deciding whether to buy a nokia n8 or a samsung wave 1.
            can anyone here give me the advantages and disadvantages of one phone over the other? they're both good phones.

              nokia n8 is good but not perfect phone:-
              Advantages:-
              12 MP camera with Xenon flash.
              HDMI recording + HDMI connectivity
              USB -on the go

              Disadvantages:-
              old symbian os no important updates
              slow processor 680 mhz .less ram and rom
              not much smooth and quick in response and sometimes laggy and hanging are common problem for n8.
              not much impressive softwares that can make this handset upto the mark

              but main problem is its very difficult to get a perfect unit...

              so among hardware wise its just a little bit more than average handset but software wise its not upto the mark ......so its average handset ....its good mobile but seeing these days current market position in the fields of mobiles, n8 is becoming older day by day and there r also better handset is now available in market than n8 .......

              lots of people say that symbian doesn't need 1ghz processor but its not true it needs atleast 900 mhz processor to make handset smooth and no laggy and hang..thats y web browser is also slow....but symbian is old and after seeing anna updates let see what changes comes in s^3....but overall its average handset ......

                        Dear wreck,

                        Your choice is obvious man..! Nokia N8 is the way to go if you're looking for the camera.. Not the mega pixel count, I mean the features.. (Don't fool yourself by software features like smile detection and face detection. They're only eye candy...)

                        If you want more clear details,

                        N8 Vs Vivaz (Camera wise)
                        ===========
                        1) N8 has the bigger sensor (Biggest for a mobile phone EVER)

                        2) N8 has wide angel lens but vivaz doesn't

                        3) N8 has Xenon flash which is great for photo shooting while Vivaz has only LED which usually sucks

                        4) N8 has ND filter which is great for exposure controlling while Vivaz has none

                        5) N8 has more mega pixels (12 MP vs 8 MP)

                        6) N8 can take uncompressed photos (with file size over 10 MB) with a support of a 'mod' (I don't think Vivaz can do that)

                        7) N8 can record HD videos up to 30 fps (again with a support of a 'mod') but Vivaz only supports 24 fps

                        8) N8 supports for great software like 'Camera Pro' and it can grab so many things out of N8's camera because it has great hardware. (But if you install the same in Vivaz you wouldn't get that much because Vivaz hardware is not that good as N8's. Simple as that.)

                        9) ISO sensitivity of N8 is larger and it's specially capable of taking low light photos. (But Vivaz Sucks there.)

                        10) N8 and Vivaz both have followings
                        * Auto Focus
                        * Face detection (Silly - not a hardware feature)
                        * Continuous auto focus (for N8 you have to install a 'mod' to activate this)
                        * Geo tagging
                        * HD Video recording

                        Now, anyone can see, which camera has better features...!

                        (Vivaz has touch focus, video light & smile detection which are not available in N8. So you call them as the features compared to the greatest camera giant in mobile phone history...?) Come on mate... Don't be so blind....!

                        I don't know why anyone is even trying to compare Satio or Vivaz with this giant N8... It's so silly..

                          hey u should compare the Vivaz with Satio (xenon flash and video light too..
                          ooopps dont forget the NEO its an advancement of VIVAZ

                          hope this helps....

                          THE N8! HMMMMM!!!

                            >>>>i havent bought either vivaz or n8. ha hA HA...
                            the thing is i need the best camera without misssing features,
                            n8 got 12mp camera with autofocus (NO NEED TOUCH FOCUS),
                            Xenon flash,
                            1/1.83'' sensor size (NO NEED VIDEO LIGHT), bring a Torch Light if necessary cos i doubt a phone video light will give enough light for a distance of more that 1.5 meters
                            ND filter, geo-tagging, face detection


                            whereas vivaz has 8mp camera with Led flash,video light,continous autofocus,touch focus, geo-tagging, face and smile detection
                            n8 got more resolution whereas vivaz got more feaures.

                            YOU WANT RESOLUTION PLAY WITH N8
                            YOU WANT FEATURES PLAY WITH VIVAZ
                            to bad no straight answers for you from this forum...
                            think! cos you r using your own money... smartphone need smartuser

                            err you know to capture images in very low light without getting a blur picture using a phone??? cos if you dont know no point of having camera phone giving good resolutiuon with lots of features and even high MP...just get the VIVAZ its cheaper... cheers..

Since Opera released version 11 of their mobile browser, practically most people have abandoned the native browser. However, the new native browser due to arrive with Anna is a massive improvement on the current one, but still no Flash 10 though.

                                SPB do produce some excellent software too. I'm using SPB weather, which is very nice indeed.

                                    Good to know, it's been a month or so since pr1.2 is out, so I was kind of worried.
                                    The update that I'm interested about of course is symbian Anna, I know it will take some time to be available. Actually what I'm looking forward is the portrait qwerty keyboard, as I text a lot.
                                    Right now I'm using Spb Shell (I believe Nokia should team up with them or reach some kind of businees agreement), and Opera as my main web browser, n8 + spb shell + Opera is a killer combo.
                                    Thanks again, take care
