Nokia N8 review: Director of photography

12 October 2010
We’ve come to take Nokia for granted in the low end or the business class but it seems it has lost the knack for killer phones, run out of royal blood. It’s up to the Nseries to fix it all up. The Nokia N8 may just turn out to be the right cure. With that kind of hardware. Update, 08.02.2012: Symbian Belle update hands-on...

Anonymous, 14 Oct 2010i had toshiba tg 01 my own. anyway this is proof http://ww... moreFor someone who supposedly doesn't care about Nokia, you seem to comment a lot on Nokia threads.

And calling other people "poor in tech" is not going to win you any points.

      i can understand a closed system, but people who say that its good, most likely have a jailbroken phone

      and its funny how android is more popular than ios and its not a closed os and there are a lot of games/apps (both in the market and cracked)

              In the U.S the carriers OWN the game. They dictate the specs of the phones they order

              They dictate the features

              They dictate the software

              They dictate how you will use the phone and how you will not use the phone.

              In the U.S, you either play by the carrier's rules or you go it alone.

              To this point, Nokia has chosen to go it alone.

              That is why they are non-existant in the U.S

                  Anonymous, 14 Oct 2010show me an iphone with multitasking how about usable bluet... moreiph4 did multitasking right. games and vid pause in background and the rest run parallel. no one want to let game run in background anyway.
                  iph never alloe bluetooth for file transfer but support speakers and headphones. Close nature of iph attracts developers and lots of apps is result. winmo7 follows same route now too.
                  will u use mouse for touch screen phone?? i don't need to attach my hard drive to iphone since u usually connect to laptops to watch movie on big screen. once again, every os needs to practice close system to attracts developers. the more open ur system like winmo 6 or symbian, lesser developers lesser quality apps and more pirates

                                      It is not the same as USB OTG which is built into the phone and supports more features and capabilities.

                                      It's a totally different master/slave architecture.

                                      USB OTG is way more advanced and the TG01 did not have it.

                                        I realised that n8 fans are relatively poor in tech and thk 12mp is something innovative. If megapixel was so important, how android and iph3g and 3gs did so well when nokia did so badly with better camera. This time android and iph have 5mp and n8 has 12mp. but who cares symbian nokia still fails with symbian
