Other os are not better from symbian. Even old ones. Today is everything about user friendlynes. Except accelerometer i can do everything vith 3y old nokia that you can with desire.
Matt, 28 Sep 2010I've got the faintest idea that the Nokia N8 sales are going to be through the roof, surprisin... moreI totally agree with you... To hell with USA... sheeps like to stand in the line for icrap4... the biggest market for Nokia specially N8 is Asia then Europe. Americans only know to stand in line for so called cheap things like on the boxing day or icrap4... as to understand the worth of a thing you should have brain and anyone can guess if an american lady says "i dont have a cell phone but you can take my blackberry number" !@#$% ???? :)
Have anyone use the real n8? I wonder how fast it compared to older symbian device. Any lag or memory full problem like n97?
NOKIA made the first GSM phone,first 2G and 3G phones
first camera phone and first megapixel and 5 megapixel
first phone with infrared,first WI-FI phone and first symbian and maemo phone probably first smart phone
just in 1GHZ cpu and 8 megapixel camera is not the first
THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH STUPID
It's actually funny, I've never in my life seen a Blackberry, I don't even know if there are any stores in finland that sell them.
It's understandable though, since Nokia is from here so it has quite a strong stand here.
Matt, 28 Sep 2010I've got the faintest idea that the Nokia N8 sales are going to be through the roof, surprisin... moreYeah, it's a shame that US people for some reason just have to dislike Nokia, and they mainly just dislike it blindly.
Like the iPhone 4, it's a great device in the aspects it's good in, but the things you actually can do with it compared to the N8 is laughable, the iPhone stands no chance.
Then again, theres lots of people in America, so theres people for every vagon. I'm sure there are a fair share of Nokia lovers too, but its still a fact that Nokia isnt that succesful in the US, but it is everywhere else.
The US people seem to think that they are the only market as well and think that Nokia is dying cos they dont see many Nokias on the streets. In these cases it's good to show them the charts where Symbian (Q2 2010) still had like 40% of smartphone markets compared to Apples 14% or so.

I've got the faintest idea that the Nokia N8 sales are going to be through the roof, surprising and blowing away everyone who said it was pure crap
I'm going to love that moment :-D
In India alone it will be a n°1 hit, and guess how many people live there? :D
who cares about people in the US hating Nokia... let them play with their iPhone thingies and leave the fans of actual smartphones alone
People have been waiting so long for this unit. If nokia won't release this phone next month, people will go tired of waiting and lose interest over this it and will switch to other brands/unit instead.
I Wheez too y not xD...
waiting , 28 Sep 2010its been delayed til 22 oct in uk now
whats all that aboutDemand exceeding supply, if nothing else.
There has been some word going around about tweaking the software too for that time, which is an obvious thing cos they'll keep pushing updates for it, so with some luck, you may get a newer firmware and maybe even the new browser
The baseline is that the battery is not removable.
But it is, the bottom cap will come off when you unscrew the two screws on both sides of the phone and the battery comes off too. However, this is very likely that it may void the warranty cos the screws are some special "torx" screws to my understanding and no screwdriver for that is included. Nokia/the manual also says that you should take it to a Nokia Care if you need the battery replaced for some reason.
However you have quite little reasons to have it removable. Even if the phone would hang, the power button has a hardcoded power cut off no matter how bad the hang is. Just like in computers/laptops, hold the power button for 6-8s and it will certainly go off no matter how bad its jammed.
Unless you are one of these people who like carrying spare batteries with you (does anyone really do that?), I see no reason to even need a removable batteries. For those special occasions there will be Nokia/3rd party accessories to help you, like some external battery pack thingies.
However, Nokia and me suggest that even if its removable, don't do it yourself, you may void your 2 year warranty (which wouldve done it to u for free)
its been delayed til 22 oct in uk now

-almost the same apps running with other phones but can stay longer...

Anonymous, 28 Sep 2010how come Nokia still did not provide a 1Ghz processor phone compare to any other phones?? but ... moreThe problem isnt domination, the problem is battery life. Nobody likes to have a dominating device that blacks out after 4-5 of idling.
It's not only about the CPU, N8s dedicated GPU and the 680mhz CPU are more than enough to be very even with the 1ghz phones with an integrated GPU.
Nokia could easily put both in to the phone, even the current CPU is underclocked, but they don't want to do that cos after being (and inventing)in the whole mobile phone business for some 40 years by now, they realize that a mobile PHONE is not a good PHONE if it can't hold it's power long enough.
I think this is their current mindset now and in future, they are making PHONES, not PDAs/laptops
wow it is a star.
Just look at the comments in that article. Eerybody thinks the author is a clown and that article is just baseless and stupid.
You don't even have to be a Nokia lover to find that article extremely stupid and unfair and underresearched.
Wheez, 28 Sep 2010You're N97 also has less free RAM (main reason it probably hangs), no dedicated GPU (which the... moreTotally agree with you. I wish all nokia and symbian haters will stop saying bad things about this phone. I totally love this phone.
GO N8!!!
