Don't forget about awful display - you wont see anything on the day light - it is OLED.

they miss a point to beat iphone 4G-Internal memory! iphone 4G will beef up memory and optical zoom camera. Apple don't follow hype like they won't follow megapixel war.

ARM 680 - perceived low spec negated by 3D accelerator, besides Symbian 3 is not as power hungry as the other OSs)
RAM 256 - perceived insufficiency negated but the Writable Paging Request of the (read up for more info) Symbian 3
Fixed Aperture Size - perceived a step back after N86 negated by better sensor
Fixed Battery - perceived as not replaceable, not true as you can replace it once it fails albeit removing a couple of screws
1200 mAh - perceived small capacity negated but improving power efficiency of the CPU, right sized RAM, AMOLED display.
Lacks Optical Zoom - negated by improvements to digital zoom that ensures no pixelation when zoomed
Symbian 3 - perceived as dated negated by perceivers lack of knowledge. Please do yourselfs a favor by reading up on the improvements of the OS under the hood and its overall superiority compared to the others.

Why one puts up with such negations and not have it all - it will be too bulky (optical zoom, bigger battery, camera cover, keyboard) too power hungry (RAM, bigger screen) and not forgetting too expensive (big storage, big RAM, big screen...etc)

N8 is a device that has everything and more, delivered in the most balanced package for the most appealing price. Have fun future N8 comrades.

Ok nokia's problem they have no good phone picked up by a carrier. Only like 1 out of 10 americans would go to store with nokia unlocked phones. They usually go to the offical stores to get the phones they have.

For those who doesnot like capacitive screen

nokia has already made so many resistive phone and nontouch phones, go and select the right one, it is time for nokia to care about capacitive lovers

If a lot of people think a 1Ghz processor and a 1500mAh battery is what the N8 needs, then they're dead wrong.

Symbian^3 doesn't need a 1Ghz processor because it's a simple and user friendly UI. None of those flashy android stuff. And since it has a lower processor it doesn't need a 1500mAh battery. 'Cause lower processors aren't power hungry unlike Samsung phones.

PLUS the screen's AMOLED. Better power consumption.

Just because the numbers are bigger doesn't mean they're better.

Nokia share holders are mad that they always starring at the back of the Iphone. Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo will have to beg for his job while his counterpart Steve Jobs basks in glory. Quote "Last week Nokia delayed Symbian 3, its software platform revamp seen as a first step to make its smartphones competitive again, triggering a sell-off in its shares". End Quote Reuters
LOL welcome back to the game Nokia it's tough old world out there.

In Q3 slick looking Android phones with flashy and modern user interfaces would've been announced. Windows Mobile 7 Series phones would also be announced and WinMo has now upgraded to a slick interface. While symbian is left with an old outdated ui. For gods sake we're in 2010!
