stylinred, 26 Oct 2010uhmm... the phone isn't even available in stores in the UK ... moreThis is not true- I got mine delivered last Thursday (21st Oct) -direct from Nokia..
It is an awesome phone - the bluetooth mouse hookup works perfectly, plays DIVX out of the box, battery life is on a par with my wife's iPhone4, but I'll conceed that the UI is not as fluent.
If you like tech nerd stuff, the N8 is for you, if you like simplicity and pretty things, get the iPhone or a high end android - the best phone out there is the one that is best for you - not me, or your mate, or any faceless user (myself included) on a comment page or web forum..

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2010good luck. N8 use same ARM11 processor that is found in n97... moreGet a Life !!!
I used to own a wave before i got the N8.
it was a nice phone, but did give me memory full errors when running NFS shift and Kroll. when i had some 20 HD video songs from you tube, the browsing in the video gallery would also lag.
With HALF the resources, i dont see that happening on the n8.
If you are so happy with your wave, what are you doing here ?
If nokia had not made the mistakes like N97 and N96, the likes of wave would not have even been half as successful.
anyway, regardless of the bashing up trolls like you do, nokia will set records with phone. keep watching !!!

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2010good luck. N8 use same ARM11 processor that is found in n97... moreYou've been pointed in the right direction (namely, the GSMArena specification pages for both the N97 and N8) several times now. The CPUs are obviously different, and 256MB of RAM is heaps for the Symbian OS.
There's a huge difference between capability and specifications - and in the end I can't think of a smartphone that's more capable than the N8.

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2010good luck. N8 use same ARM11 processor that is found in n97... moreThis CPU discussion is pretty ridiculous. Go to a store and try N8, it is really fast. It has amazing graphics chip and Symbian is way more efficient than Android.
NFS Shift is a great example since it is available to iOS, Symbian and Android. N8 and iPhone look the equally great and run smoothly. Android version doesn't look as good and isn't as smooth.

Has anyone dropped their N8 to the floor? Did the glass break? My N82 fell down to floor for more than 50 times already because I'm careless but no glass breakage. Wonder how many drops before the N8 screen breaks? Anyone?

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2010good luck. N8 use same ARM11 processor that is found in n97... moreThat's funny, in a side by side video, the N8 ran things about the same speed as iphone4. But I can't expect logical thinking from an Apple fan.

Shashank, 24 Oct 2010I let go my samsung wave for the Nokia N8. even though the... moregood luck. N8 use same ARM11 processor that is found in n97 or even 5230 yeah 5230. It slows like I thought I am in 2009. RAM is only 256!! I am happy iphone 4 user but I can defo say wave is miles better than n8. N8 is the worst smartphone ever come out for 2010 generation. It is even worse than xperia x10 which I thought worst smartphone.

a New Browser and updated OviMaps is already on the way if not here by the time you get your N8 delivered.
if you don't like the User Interface you can simply change it... you can make it look like the Android interface if you really wanted to simply with a UI App that is available
If you're complaining about 25fps you can simply download the Mod that increases that to 30fps and the soon to be available Continuous Auto Focus
You can even improve the Image Quality in your photos by downloading the Mod that gives near 0 compression

I can't believe response to n8 is really cold in uk. I mean no newspaper reporting multi millions sale. No q up to get a phone. No out of stock at mobile provider. That is so much different compared to iphone4. I had to wait two months to get an iphone 4 after its release.

webrowser, 26 Oct 2010plz sugges me hp that best for web browser...tqI installed both the Opera Mobile and Opera Mini .. I have I'm impressed with both. I wouldnt say they are blinding fast .. but I was quite satisfied with the browsing experience on Both. The tap to zoom on opera mobile is quite good. It really eliminates the need for another browser. Try it ..
