Does anyone know when/if this will be avilable direct through networks?

      I asked the accelerometer sensor before, so I can reply you on this.
      Go to setting, general, personalisation, display and switch on the auto pivot.

      Have fun with Innov8!

        I would've considered this if it had a 640x480 screen instead of a 320x240 with a 8mp camera.

        head =/= tails

          hi everybody, i have this phone since last saturday and till now i like it very much, the camera resolution is awesome! but there are 2 things that i don't understand yet, please help me!

          1. In applications, the GPS+ says something like this "This application may incur charges to tour phone bill" but when i click in "OK" says that i don't set an access point yet, but mi internet access point is my wireless connection. Quest. What type of acces point or connection needs the GPS+? and how i download directly to the phone the ROUTE66 application?

          2. How I activate the accelerometer sensor?

              Anonymous, 27 Oct 2008how mp is the front camera? will the screen get scratch eas... morei have to say the screen is a bad point about this phone has it does scratch really easy but at the same time dont think it will crack as easy as the n95 as it does have extra cover over the lcd screen i would recomend getting getting a pouch to stop getting to many scatches i got one after about 2 weeks and it has loads of scatches just in that time but better than my old n95 broke screen twice in just over two weeks

                      TI OMAP 2430 model are the 2nd generation of TI OMAP chips, 2420, powers multiple hi-end Nokia smartphones(N93, N95, E90, N82) and has in fact an integrated 3D accelerator.
                      The improvement from 2420 also extremely numerous. The CPU frequency has been pulled up to 450MHz from previous value of 330MHz. The chipset can work with high definition camera(> 5 MP) and it take less than a second to take shot. The rest important point about 2430 hardware are an upgrade TWL4030 module (TWL 92230 was used in 2420). TWL4030 is multifunctional solution providing access to numerous codecs, dedicated audio processing module, noise filters, and so on.
                      Samsung i8510 is the first Samsung smartphone to fully utilize the potential of the hardware graphics accelerator. It is an absolute requirement for processing 8 megapixel images, real-time VGA video decoding with separate audio signal processing(done by dedicated DSP, excluding the possibility of using the music player and camera at the same time). The graphic accelerator can now handle twice as few polygons per second, commonly used to power the best gaming phone.
                      Nokia N85 utilizes the same hardware as N78, N81, and N79. Freescale is cheaper solution for the most expensive TI OMAP 2430. The lack of 3D accelerator is blatant in the Jbenchmark 3D test. N85 lags behind in other test as well. Despite the lags seen in the test, N85 audio quality is the same with N96, a bit above than N78, but a bit below than Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8.

                      Battery:

                      - Samsung i8510 : Standard, Li-Ion 1200 mAh, Stand-by Up to 310 h, Talk time Up to 8 h 30 min

                      - Nokia N96 : Standard, Li-Ion 950 mAh, Stand-by Up to 220 h, Talk time Up to 3 h 40 min !!!!!!!!

                      - Nokia N85 : Standard, Li-Ion 1200 mAh, Stand-by Up to 360 h, Talk time Up to 6 h 50 min

                      Camera:

                      - Samsung i8510 : 8 MP, Video VGA@30fps, QVGA@120fps

                      - Nokia N96 : 5 MP , Video VGA@30fps

                      - Nokia N85 : 5 MP, Video VGA@30fps

                      Conclusion :

                      - Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8 has faster hardware performance, the best camera, excellent sound - DNSe 2.0 (Digital Natural Sound engine), excellent build quality, good battery, good price etc. while Nokia N96 is the slowest most expensive and with just 950 mah battery.

                      - Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8 fully utilize the potential of the 3D graphic accelerator. It is an absolute requirement for processing the camera, video recording, decoding and playback. Nokia N85 and N96 can't handle this perfectly because the lack of graphic accelerator.

                      - Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8 is the best gaming phone today. U can enjoy your 3D or HD games running perfectly in 29 fps, while Nokia N85 and N96 only can run below 10 fps. Thank's to dedicated hardware graphic accelerator.

                              I have this phone now for about 10 days and I am very happy with. I just bought the N85 from Nokia too. But you can not compair INNOV8 with N85. The INNOV8 it is much better than N85. N85 look cheap and push bottoms are not easy to use but no problem with INNOV8. Battery life of N85 better than INNOV8. Only problem I have with INNOV8 is internet set up Wizard not as good to do Auto compair to Nokia. Anyhow INNOV8 by far better than N85. Thanks Samsung.

                                  useless comments,with no verdict. here is the verdict: samsung already have 2 models with 5 mp and optical zoom and 2 models with 8mp and symbian,dolby surround and divx. this high end specifications can't be found in any existing nokia or even just announced. the launch of n96 very very late,with smaller battery and camera sensor than previous models,with bad photo performance,shows that nokia have problems this year. only the old n95,18 month ago,was their major change. you can put 16 gb sdhc card on old n95 and yoy have 90% of n96 with only 280 euro!!!

There is no repeat reminder of any kind though and if you miss a text for example the screen will go out and you won't know if you've missed anything till you next use the phone.
                                      Web browsing is much faster than C905, Even the old Nokia N95 is faster at browsing than C905.
