gbengoyor, 05 Mar 2011can someone itemize both the good and bad side of nokia n8,... moreNokia N8 is not really a worst phone it is actually one of the hottest phone in the market but it has some imperfections on:
Bad Things:
Some unit are having
1. reddish purple screen
2. battery discharge very fast (my N8 is working good)
3. AV out: some video format (like Tron trailer downloaded in the internet)is not showing in the TV only Audio, but some video formats are playing smoothly. I try it on my TV because I dont have HDMI the video is not showing only small blue nokia logo. Maybe the AV doesn't support HD videos.
4. Default web browser is not good (but I installed UC Web browser so its fine)
Good Things:
If by any chance you are lucky to have a free from defect N8, it is perfect!
I love N8 but unfortunately I'm not lucky to have a free from defect N8.
1. 12mp primary camera, VGA front camera
2. Loud Dolby digital speaker (5.1 channel I think)
3. friendly OS/Ui = Symbian 3 (but under renovations)
4. Ovi = supports most of the important applications
5. Anodized Aluminum Casing = scratch proof
6. Gorilla glass screen = scratch proof (but some are defective like mine)
7. USB on the Go, Copy, Paste, Play, Edit, Send
8. HDMI out (I didn't try yet)
9. Dual charging slot = a choice of micro charger or usb charger.
10. 16GB internal memory, Micro SD slot
11. Accessories & spare parts anywhere worldwide
12. Download-able Applications& Games:
a. Internet Radio
b. 9 Grid
c. vHome (Voyager Homescreen)
d. bubbles
13. et cetera et cetera
You will love it I'm sure. (I hate my N8 because it is defective) but still I'm recommending it to you.

Bob, 05 Mar 2011Did yours have the purple red problem? I'm planning of buyi... morenope, everything is perfect.
the display is awesome, have got some HD movies/trailers on the phone and its unbelievable how great the screens clarity is
the phone just takes a while to boot up but that is because Ive got the spb mobile shell, its basically a more beautiful OS over the phone's OS.

Anonymous, 04 Mar 2011and how about playing videos? do you think its not affected... moreto the best of my knowledge, the purpling only affectsctge screen saver. it shouldn't affect any where else in the interface. its either you have a different problem from the general one or you are a stupid troll who doesn't actually own one.
