      Hi N8 friends, I am confused and need you all to help me solve the questionaire about N8.

      One thing I know for sure is N8 has almost a best camera for still imaging. For video I would rate it 8/10.

      Today I went and had a second look at Nokia N8 in the Nokia showroom. Now I am a confused person as s0 much talk about N8 which has made me inquisitive about its best features.

      It has a HDMI output which is a feature Nokia is a first company to bring it to mobile market. But why has Nokia provided such a small 4 inch cable to connect to a TV. How are you supposed to reach a TV through such a short cable. Do you have to stand beside the TV and hold the N8 in your hand and try to peep on the material N8 is transmiting on TV. Funny.

      HDMI in is found only on HDTV. which means N8 is supposed to be able to play HD videos. But when I tried a HD video on N8 it got stuck and it could only manage to play normal lower DVD resolutions only.

      Amoled Capacitive screen was introduced by Samsung a year ago.

      N8 is only stuck with 360 x 480 res display where as my Nokia N900 which is six months only has a whopping 800 x 480 pixels which make internet browsing a boon.

      N8 has a video HW accelerator chip which makes it a capable gaming device. How many games are available in market which uses this chip.

      USD OTG, remember O2 flame which as a USB reader 3 years ago? Well any body of N8 user feels it is a must to have feature. Please tell me what have you used this feature for and if can you live without it?

      Symbian 3 has some improvements which has been stated here by some users. Can you please explain what features has it got which were not present on Nokia N97 or similar products.

      Is N8 a winner only because of its 12 mpix high quality imaging capability. Thats it???

      I am really confused and need you all N8 users guidance if N8 is really worth a buy or should wait for better handsets coming in near future. Heard Nokia is producing future handsets with high res screen and 1,2 ghz processor to compete in the fast moving market to cover up their losses in last 2 years.

      Good luck to you all.

        look n8 has indeed a good specs to boast of.new apps will be available for n8 for sure as nokia shown us the same till date.may be android has more useful apps but are you thinking that android conserves battery charge?with lot of app open android can drain up battery faster than symbian.and as nokia has decided not to use android they will try their level best to improve symbian for their existance. So it gives us good hope about nokia.and sound clarity of nokia phones is of best class which is equal to se phones. No other phones have good sound clarity.and nokia posses a good market value for second sale.its proved that n8 has good popularity too.buying n8 wont be a waste for sure.defects in any n8 will be rectified by nokia. And nokia is providing additional one year free service coverage for a nominal amount.

I have never had any of those problems. With the spb app and swype this phone cannot be beat.

                          I've had the phone since last November and it has not crashed once, I have not seen a memory full message either. I play some games, browse the web a bit and use it to watch full length feature films on my wide screen tv.

                          My friend had a different phone connected to his TV and was blown away by the phones picture and sound quality 5.1 DTS or something.

                          Phone calls, with the phone or skype are great, txting with swype or the normal keyboard is a breeze. I've never noticed a lack of home screen customisations. I use the phone to make calls etc it makes my day and life easier, it is not my life or an excuse for one. It's a phone at the end of the day. Came here looking for news on the upgrade, I'm surprised to see all the knocking from none N8 users, have you people got nothing better to do.

                                        Anandtech had done a benchmark
                                        test comparing all the high end
                                        phones including N8, iphone4 and
                                        nexus S to name a few. I was disappointed about N8
                                        performance particularly in the
                                        RightWare Browsermark Test. Anandtech quoted stock browser at 4627 for stock browser and 5957 for Opera Mobile 10. It was very low compared to iphone and android
                                        So we decided to do this test on our N8s. I also found that the score varies with the speed of internet connetion.
                                        It varies between 4200 to 4800 for
                                        stock browser.
                                        When we tested on Opera 10 the
                                        results were higher than those of
                                        Anandtech. We managed to get a 9600 with opera mobile. Possibly anandtech used an older version
                                        But these results were still very low
                                        compared to nexus and iphone. Even
                                        the iphone 3GS scored much better.
                                        However guys at Maemo.org have found out the "reality" about this test. They created a fake iPhone's user agent on N900 browser, so browsermark will think N900 is a iPhone And the result: N900 with iPhone's User Agent : 18340 points N900 with default User Agent : 7680 points It clearly means that Apple and google
                                        are paying Rightware for better
                                        results.
                                        Currently we dont have any software
                                        to confirm this on N8. But you can be sure about the fact that N8's browsing capabilities are not that bad
