    818, 03 Jan 2011hi every body really am confused about this thing the camera resolutin and efficacy because... moreThe N8 camera is far superior than the Wave camera. That is a fact without question. Don't listen to the bashers here.
    Symbian 3 is easy to use and a little different to earlier symbians. Nokia also has the best warranty and support of all brands.
    Wave has the best screen and a very fast processor and its Bada OS is also very good. Samsung warranty is not good.
    Nokia N8 and Samsung Wave both have good battery life.
    IMO, these 2 phones are the best available at present. Deciding which phone you want is your personal choice.

          Kirihara, 03 Jan 2011I have this phone and Samsung S8500 Wave N8 Vs Samsung S8500 Wave? Samsung S8500 wave in ... moreDont own a wave but review comparisons would make it appear to have a better camera.Pics seem sharp and colours bright. But those are artificial enhancements while N8 by default goes for natural look. Bear in mind also that wave screen resolution will make the camera appear better. But as a N8 owner and photographer I have to say nothing on the phone market beats the N8 camera right now. Wave is a nice phone though. But the N8 packs like a tsunami!

                      i bought my N8 yesterday, and i just love it, a capacitive unit that is very responsive, big screen, much like of my Sony Ericsson Satio, but of course N8 has AMOLED screen. the video viewing superb,i got no problems with subtitles anyway. I have to test more about the camera performance as well as the video. The satio has a stellar performance already, so time for my N8 to see how good it is over Satio. But over all this phone rocks...everything you need is in here...about the price?? well, hmm...it's subjective anyway!

                        romania, 02 Jan 2011to expensiveNO.... its actually cheap for a smartphone, think about it..... when the nokia n96 came out in australia it was $1,300 so this is quite cheap and it is going down in price too.

                          OK, I've read tons of reviews and info on the N8, and finally purchased one and received it on 12/20/08. Here are my comments after two weeks of use:

                          Feels like a work of art in your hand, very sturdy.
                          Scratch resistant face, and finger proof body
                          Nice AMOLED display, but resolution could be higher
                          Symbian 3 is better than S60v5 but not great.
                          "Bugs" in the system, everything from emails to install apps
                          After a couple of days, phone has been "re-booting"? First 2-3 times a day, and now just once a day.
                          Camera is quite amazing, pictures are crisp, even in low light. As a "phone" goes it works great on AT&T in the USA. Great clarity, and no drop calls.

                          Final words: I really wanted this phone for three main reasons, camera, solid construction, and penta-3G. The other things like web/multi-tasking/games/apps where all extras. I'm hoping that the next Symbian update will help with the "buggy-like" issues. Since I'm on AT&T, there are not many choices for me....hoping someone comes out with a great smart phone, w/great camera/built solid (gorialla glass/metal body)

                          And on a Galaxy S note, my girlfriend has the Captivate (AT&T) and I've got to say, great phone! Amazing screen, fast, and very little "bugs", just hate the large size, plastic body, and no flash for the camera"

                              Gitty, 02 Jan 2011If I sign a game using my friends imei number for his phone,will the same signed game work in... moreyou should sign it using your IMEI to use in your phone, but guys please don't encourage app piracy this is what holding back the app development in Symbian. Since simbian is a very old OS, there are many ways exist for app piracy in Symbian and that is the main reason why developers are not interested in app development.

                              Look at this

                              "This was a very difficult decision for us. We put our hearts and souls into the 1.0 product and greatly value the many Skyfire fans who used the product and provided us with invaluable feedback during this intensive research & development phase of our company. We experimented with ways to charge for the product (in certain international test markets) so that existing Windows Mobile and Symbian users could continue to use the service, but the payment mechanisms were very cumbersome and the piracy rates were so high on those OS platforms that we could not make it work. More importantly, we faced a decision point: If we were to begin charging money for a product, we had to commit to multiple years of support and enhancement of the product. It would not be the ethical thing to do to start down that path, given that we would not expect enough revenue to make that sustainable on the legacy 1.0 product, and we can no longer subsidize it. The right thing we decided was to focus on 2.0 and beyond."

                              an extract from sky fire website. you can find more details on
                              http://www.skyfire.com/press/blog/72-retirement

                              Please avoid piracy if you want many apps.
