Clint, 15 Oct 2010"I respect ur comments but at the same time wondering ... moreGood luck then in SA .
I guess u guys then buy everything b4 knowing about that .
As far as am concerned , i dont belong from a country like that .
Hope u got ur answer .
A Common man wont go to the extent to have used Android 2.2 and u give him NOKIA N8 and he says that wow , i gonna dump my ANDROID 2.2 or iPHONE 4 for this Handset .
If Nokia is Good , Then Lets see , make it Happen .

Clint, 15 Oct 2010"More than happy with my iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S... moreHere is Ur Answer My " MOST INTELLECTUAL CRITIC "
I did't have iPhone 4 and Samsung galaxy S for Balancing what i lost For Nokia cuz i gave up nokia long ago .iPhone is the best in the business when it comes to the BUILD QUALITY , Camera , Insane Resolution ( I read My Medical books on it and Its the most important thing for a Doctor to have a Decision to go with iPhone 4 along with other ) amazing resale value , and Top notch Apps ( Apps are always updated and have very Elegant and of very high quality as developers are getting the money and profit ). Example = Awesome Notes or Pulse on iPhone 4 (Pulse is also on Android ) and compare it to anything that u see on Nokia , U got ur answer .Nokia is on its Knees here .
And i Like Android cuz of The Amazing customization , hacking , increasing developer data Base , amazing google services and a very very Good Support all over . Super Amoled screen is Simply amazing although I still prefer iPhone 4 for insane high resolution as text websites and pics look amazingly insane on it , but super Amoled makes movie watching so much fun .
As i said earlier , if Nokia tops the features of iPhone 4 and Galaxy S , I will be more than Happy to Replace my Phones as Npo Technology remain the same for ever, there will be advancements and as I and Zillion other people see , iOS and Android are beating Nokia like anything . So hope that ur BELOVED NOKIA IMPROVES .

And with all due respect to your opinion, I am not sure what country you are from but I am in SA and I just looked through the brochure of two of the biggest SPs here and not one phone in them mentions the size of the processor. So basically the average man on the street does not really give a damn about the size of the processor. They just want a phone that does what they want it to!

...and iPhone fanboys, if you don't mind let me please share with you this recent status update from a friend of mine on Facebook!
"Just enjoyed the biggest and most fattening "Daisy's peppermint hot choc with minted Aero pieces soup" in Winderemere as consolation for having butter fingers this morning and dropping my lovely iPhone and smashing the screen! Boohoo.."
Yip, it is all about software and hardware means very little! ha ha ha

As i said , am very happy that we can give credit to Nokia for something atleast as every 1 who used iOS or Android simply hate NOKIA to the limit that they fill the whole thread . I for a change wanna give some positives here to Nokia that they should improve the user experience . iOS fans attack Androids and vice versa , which i think is not right , as am the passenger of both ships ( Owning iPhone 4 as well as galaxy S ). i would love to own Nokia again but if i come to know its worth owning ( Comparison will again come with iPhone 4 which I Personally think is very very Hard to Do for Nokia , But i would love that to happen for a change ) .
Raw Power of processor should always be there when needed for games , multitasking and so on and so Forth .
Currently i dont see a songle Handset of nokia that is superior or even equal with competition . As well as the resolution of screen is very Low ( Compare that to iPhone insane Retina Display or Android 800 into 480 ) . How can 1 give credit to Nokia 4 that . Need to Improve Nokia .

So you needed to replace your trusty old Nokia with two phones before you were satisfied? Makes sense I suppose. You are never going to find one phone that satisfies you as much as a Nokia!

I have DivX movies converted since I had a Samsung Omnia HD. It was strange to notice (and annoying) that when played, those movies were cut short before the end, when played on the SOHD. When playing those movies on the SGS, there was no problem.

As has been pointed out so many times, Symbian needs a LOT less resources and N8 has an awesome graphics chip. Besides, smartphones are more temperature limited anyway, maybe you want to do a search on how often Galaxy actually runs full 1GHz speed?

What... moreAlright, I admit I was wrong 2 Gb file limit on N8. Doesn't invalidate what I said about Android, so the point was?

And browsing is good (with Opera) and the previews I've seen about the new browser Nokia is releasing soon are looking good also.

Congratulation Nokia on getting the status of Best Camera in Mobile Phone !!
But Lets Be honest , 600 MHz some thing CPU and 256 MB Ram ?? Its the Best NOKIA phone ? What would have happened if u put 1 GHz and atleast 512 Mb Ram ? Atleast on paper U would have the strongest competitor in the Market , Although u Still wont be able to catch up with iOS or Android 2.2 Devices and the user experience it offers . i have seen the videos of N8 and the experience on day 2 day basis is offering nothing other than a touch improved version of s60 V 5 devices ( NOKIA N 97 any one remember that phone ?? I for sure do not wanna remember that as i kept that for 10 days only before i was forced to sell it for half the price i got it at , with no market resale value ).
Nokia needs to improve the USER EXPERIENCE and Elegant API for Programmers . .I think thy will do Good if they bury symbian OS altogether and Develop another OS for users sake and there own sake .
I once used Nokia with Head high , as it was the best in Nokia 7610 era but not any more . More than happy with my iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S now . Having Both of the best in The Business !!
But as i said , Best of Luck for Nokia and congrats again on achieving and putting the standard high on Camera Front , atleast u have given Apple and Google a thought . Now we can expect already better cameras to be much better on iOS and Androids ;)

found n8 quite impressive, have been using symbian for quite somw time.am quite use to its navigation from time when android was not in market. naviation legacy...hmm yes... Optimistic about its matching orher OS..for sure.. Nokia has excellent record of releasing os updates and will catch up.. So why did i go for n8... Have used Samsung with android os for a while...its ui is quite friendly but did not find its app list as impressive. they are buggier too .. Also google maps does not provide details as ovi maps will... The camera is a killer and i really like the qwerty keypad ..the spaces between keys makes it quite easy to use.. Infact this post is from my n8 device... Its good to see n8 been compared with iphone...even though they differ in price band... N8 is defintely value for money...and yes the metal body has a class of its own.
Great phone and good value for money.

What is a bit of lag (which can be fixed, btw) compared with "active diverts" Nokia loves to stick it to our throats so much?
How's going with the web browsing on N8? Loaded this page yet?;)

N8 had Angry Birds before Android. Android has 2 Gb absolute file play limit. N8 has 4 Gb absolute limit and 2 Gb no skipping limit.
Besides the first comment I heard about Froyo on Galaxy was "Damn it still lags."

Hey guys, have you heard the news? SGS just got Froyo.
So have fun with your N8 camera while people who own SGS will play (Angry birds), see videos (not cut short at 2 GB), browse the web-pages with Flash 10.1 on a 4 inch superamoled screen, on the BEST phone on the planet (no "active diverts" pop-up, though;) .
