Hence proved that INNOV8 is the best Camera+Music Combination ... right?

I am satisfied with the review, but it appears the it won't have much Bass ... Too bad!

due to that low pass filter I think ...

I like how the whole conclusion is about how great the Nokia Nokia N series is. Nokia.

reviews are around average 7-9 pages, 'The most feature-loaded S60 handset to date' only managed 6 pages.... oh wait thats right the bias-ness is reserved for Nokia reviews where every other sentence is "so Zooming is Bloody slow" and "let us mention again how much we hate the look" and "did we mention Zooming is bloody slow"

Overall this was a pretty general review, got a slick Tag Line "V8 Roaring engine" it just felt like this was going to be one hell of a ride but it was more of a sit-back an enjoy the ride. The 8MP Camera shootout deserves credit as that was great stuff but it wanted to know alittle more about the difference between a N96 and Inov8 in the Software part like different gallery an all... you just touched upon it but just a sentence at the end about Share OVI, N-gaga and Maps...those are pretty cool tweaks and its the main reason i'm not jumping over to Samsung's S60 espically Nokia Maps..and also wanted to know more about that cool 3D slideshow tree thing in one of the Offical Images you just gave a brief description but a little video would have been cool too espically to see it interact with the Optical Pad.

Later Homies

INNOV8 has OMAP2430 chip which mean that it has CPU with HW graphics accelerator (MBX Lite), also the CPU frequency has been pulled up to 450 MHz from a previous value of 330 MHz.


I hope you to fix the review!!!!

> In reply to SE FAN @ 2008-12-09 21:24 from mc9GGood call. I'm waiting for that X1 review too. I hope it's taking this long because the review is going to be really in depth. I also hope GSMarena makes mention of the fact that Sony Ericsson has joined the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) and that there is the possibility of an X1 running Google's Android.

Definitely a powerhouse phone, but what incredibly boring looks! Seriously, why would you want to spend so much money on all those features when the average person wouldn't notice the INNOV8 over an old D900! Samsung should have gone out of their way to make this look as special as it really is. I felt the same way when I owned the N95...update the look! (Take some ques from SE)
