Sun, 05 Jan 2011(This is the most crucial mistake Nokia has done to N8. Even though it’s a multimedia monster,... moreMusic quality of N8 is not at all bad, It is very good indeed with my earbuds and the equalizer presets. Not all smartphones provide even the equalizer, only few of them provide editable equalizer settings. S^3 music player missed some editing options including Equalizer and Track information. It will more likely be fixed with a new update provided the amount of buzz it has created in Nokia discussions.

Ali Abdulla, 05 Jan 2011the speaker is actually big, im NOT sure how big is the led flash is, my initial guess was as ... moreI don't think dual LED flash is that big but not to forget camera compartment also sports a secondary microphone for stereo audio capture and noise reduction.
you can check this
The N8 uses Xenon flash for stills but why didn’t you include an LED solution for video?
To get sufficient illumination from an LED solution over a usable distance today, you need to use dual LED. Current generation single LEDs provide little more than a tick box on a spec sheet. Unfortunately, we simply had insufficient space for Dual LED as well as Xenon, the area around the camera is packed very tightly already.
I know some of you will say you’d rather the device was a few mm’s thicker, etc. but it’s very important to balance the design against the functionality, otherwise people will say it’s ugly which will influence its appeal. But we we’re always listening to market feedback and therefore continue to try and develop the perfect solution. But for some, it’s just not possible. In a world of over 6.5 billion people that’s hardly surprising.
It is an extract from Nokia communications, You can find a lot of design decisions there if you wish. Also this topic is discussed there over and over again and many people has suggested for a Video light accessory, and Damion Dining has given a positive response to it

(This is the most crucial mistake Nokia has done to N8. Even though it’s a multimedia monster, everything’ll be useless if the quality of Music is poor…) Besides, Music player doesn’t support Custom/manual presets…! (Ridiculous decision from Nokia stupid software Engineers…!)

Sun, 05 Jan 2011Guys, how to watch you tube in full screen ?What app are you using for youtube? try the official youtube app from google's mobile site, m.google.com any video played will open in full screen, if you are using the browser then double taping on the video launch it in full screen, it may be tricky sometimes since the double tap also used to zoom

Again Nokia's priority goes to antenna location, arrangement of internal components, magnetic shielding and stuffs, Finally we miss Video Light and the High quality 5800 Speakers (N8 has aloud but mono speaker)

Anonymous, 05 Jan 2011why does nokia always give you a xenon flash but no led video light a bright video light like ... moreNokia omitted the video light to make the device slim. If you want an useful video light it has to be a Dual LED, Single LED's are useless, But there was no way to place a dual LED in already crowded arrangements (large sensor, Xenon Flash, and Flash capacitor (its big), amber LED for auto focus assistance). The low light video performance is good in N8 even without the Light thanks to the large sensor and Nokia's smart usage of Full sensor capability to do HD video.
Next Imaging Flagship will hit the market in 2012 with true zooming (Many people say true zooming means optical zooming but i guess it is going to be a developed version of the smart zooming) February may see some Meego announcement. Who knows what Nokia's Imaging team has got to deliver next.

I just found out that the Galaxy S and other Android phones do play .mpg files. I thought the N8 had the capability of playing most kinds of video and sound file types; especially something as common as .mpg.

hi,
i wanted to experience andriod and so bought samsung galaxy 3.
First of all a very bad phone, worst battery also.
I found symbiam to be better because of ease of use, sym 3 is very near to making the software touch optimised. It has drastically improved over s60. I think future updates should take care of it.
