I purchased this phone from nokia uk. i took pictures the 1st few days and they where beyond crap! i wanted to return the phone.. lol, but then i realized that i had not removed the protective sticker on the camera because i had the silicone case on it. after that? pictures are amazing and the phone itself as well.
Well, I am pretty happy with the software versatility, as in, before i bought this phone i looked at all other high end phones on the market. droids in my opinion are all just droids, now there is very minimal variance between brands its just a sea of droids, in terms of ui there is no phone like mine out of the millions because i have been able to personalize the phone vastly with themes, home-screen apps such as spb and grid which are so cool. My phone is very easy for me to use and when i want to it can be so personalized that my peers have no idea how to do simple tasks as make a simple call. which i think is a very astonishing feature. i mean a phone should adopt to you not vice versus.
Multi tasking is top notch!
email notifications are always on point, i am able to view them as they are. the flash support on the browser is amazing can watch any video on the internet.
computer syncing is very useful, usb on the go brilliant.
Well there a many features on the pone and enough useful apps. ovi is inferior to app store and the droid store but it still has all the useful apps you may need.
the problems i have faced on this device though, no default browser text re-flow, the portrait key board covers the whole screen. I have not found a dedicated youtube app like the cnn live app even though the youtube on the phone is still functional i would prefer a dedicated one like on the n97. Battery life is not bad, compared to the i phone 4 which my brother uses, i charge my phone less often and i do not have an ipod like him cause i use my phone and the gps on it all the time but it still lasts longer.
Any way, i don't have a job to review devices if i did i would give you all the full details so you may make a definite decision about getting this device however in conclusion, i think its a very good phone and its the best for me at the moment on the market just a bit more development on the browser and typing otherwise, i am satisfied and having looked at other devices 1st hand i think i would be missing out if i did not get one. at the end of the day its all up to your priority's as the user weather you looking for eye candy and simplicity or if you looking for a working customizable device with all the fictions you need apart from bbm which u can get on a cheap phone.

mcb x, 18 Mar 2011iphone4,nokia e7 or nokia n8 is better? e7 or n8 has a bet... moreIphone 4 is the best among them, but personally I would rather have an N8. The difference in the video recording of N8 and E7 is: N8 has special video zoom, which allows you to zoom up to 3x without deterioration of video quality. The E7 has no zoom, but has dual led flash for video light which the N8 lacks.

[deleted post]Here. Help yourself and read the horror stories of people affected by the problem. The N8 and C7 are affected and people at Nokia Care are downplaying the issue even after Nokia acknowledged the defect and released a bulletin.
79 pages long of complaints and anguish and you fanboys are still dennying it. Nokia messed up here amd they acknowledged the defect but the Nokia Care centers are still unhelpful despite the internal bulletin about the defect.
Just because you never experience or have it doesn't mean a thing. The purple defect is real and people worldwide are noticing.
