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...

hi there! so, i need some information. many people are saying that after the belle update, some of the n8's functions stop working. some are saying that it doesn't charge off its usb port when it is connected to the computer, that teh camera qualitity decreases, that the memory also decreases from 16gb to 50-250mb. need some real information from a user that has already updated or so. thanks

    After the Belle update, this becomes the one of the best deals on the market. You really do get a lot for your money.

    GsmArena, thank you for updating you review!

            I used an x10 for a few months. I had used other nokias before.
            But recently I returned to N8.
            Its simply because, its a much better phone. Android might have a lot of software, but it is slower in basic phone functions. The number of Touches for dialling a given call log number is more, as is its over all complexity.
            Nokia is really easy to use. That's its hallmark

                                      good build quality

                                      video playback is awesome
                                      my brother put 3 movies in its memory it played all three tried on a few other phones no one else could

                                      the loudspeaker is not loud enough for me
                                      also the ringer

                                      but all high end phones are getting quieter

                                      a high ringer can always be controlled , so y not put some loudness in phone

                                      camera takes amazing pics ,though u need to adjust settings

                                      played asplalt 6 ,dungeon hunter 2 tranformers all hd games all run smoothly
