deep space bar, 08 Dec 2010just remember this symbian doesn't need alot of ram and clockspeed to run 680mhz with ... more"just remember this

symbian doesn't need alot of ram and clockspeed to run

680mhz with alot of ram which is has now runs just as fast as a 1ghz with 512mb RAM or just alittle slow but it's still really fast"

I disagree, i did a lot of testing N8 at weekend and have to say it definately need more speed, it was pain to use compared to other hi end phones, they just worked so fluid and effortlessly. When i tryed N8 i got frustrated and angry not fun to use, browser was laggy even mobile sites was laggy, picture editor was laggy, video editing was laggy, many games was laggy, facebook was laggy, email app was laggy i dont continue anymore. Then we have coverflow which is very fluid, i would expect same performance everywhere. Some parts of N8 works fast and some not. I cant go back to that level because i got used to use phone which is always smooth and fast.

After testing N8 i tested galaxy s, which has a new OS for me and i havent tryed it, first time i touched the screen the difference was huge, it was very easy to use and it worked nice and fluid and it was a new experience for me but it worked right away.

So i would say the guy who asked about speed, if you want phone which is ALWAYS smooth and fast pick iPhone compared to N8.

and then there is WP7, freaking fast and smooth too :D

vijay, 08 Dec 2010thanks jim78 but how is the speed compare to iphon? i thing iphone i\has 512 ram and 1ghz proc... moreHere is another questionable dialogue. With the introduction of well you tell me "some one told me toucj of iphone is uncomparable" & "that ipnoe has mastery in music and status wise is also nice" also "i m still confuzed my friend...suggest some better feature than iphone in N8...." er!!1

These 2 phone only similarity is that if you enter a valid telephone number and press call you actually can speak to somebody if they check out that ringing noise. This post is not dissing jim78, but please vijay one or the other iphone4 or N8 come on now.

jim78 says nokia N8 but he is extremely biased
i mean after all N8 (wow) impartial view on my part.
Or heres a suggestion get BOTH , then all the unquantifiable descriptions GSMARENA did not against my advice include in its feature. COME ON GSMREANA HOW DOES THE PHONE ACTUALLY FEEL? ET AL.
I seriously wonder in some of the posters actually wear clothes. "i don't know what to wear again naked wednesday. Listen it not about having the best phone in the world its about having a phone that does everything you want it to do. Can i live with the features on this phone or are my needs best served by that phone.

you're taking advice from everybody methinks the phone is just a status sysmbol to you rather than a device for calling emergency services in say an emergency.

So are your needs best served by the Iphone4 or the N8
if you vijay had to make a decision what would it be ?
no googling no bing.
Me personally I would advise BOTH , get the touch the feel of then you can decide in two years, which one I should have bought & meant it.

I know already what features e.g. 1) my phone must have a card slot, LAST 4 YEARS CARD ALWAYS HAS BEEN. SO I WOULD BE IGNORING MY OWN ADVICE AND JUST OPTING FOR THE N8

regards

Iphone adv:-
1. uncomparable UI - android is still not that good (atleast i feel so)
2. music quality is really good
3. screen is mind blowing


N8 adv:-
1. uncomparable camera
2. OTG support - you can hook up a pen drive to it
3. hdmi + 5.1 dolby digital support for driving external displays
4. free navigation - without gprs
5. true multi-tasking

Choose what you want..

N8 has just 256 MB Ram.. gives memory full errors quite often!

furthermore, many people have reported bug in it! Even nokia itself has confirmed that this cellphone has hardware related bugs!

The phone displays the pics slightly smaller though on the phone were as the 9mp setting displays across the entire screen. The difference is when you display the pics on a pc. 12mp is awesome. The detail when you zoom in is incredible. I've taken plenty pics with this phone and it has just impressed me in every picture. 9mp as i said was suffice for me at work cos the pics are too large on the 12mp setting for the documents i put them into. Still at 9mp the pics are big but i just compress them to decrease the doc size. For my personal pics 12mp is a must.

"which of these two phones is the better option because
i want to buy one of them , the nokia n8 or the samsung wave s8500 ?"

If i gave you an answer would you actually follow it.
Questions like this are pointless, a bit like the X factor the phones specs can be compared using the something or other function.

This is the Nokia N8 forum so whilst 99.999% will say Nokia N8. I am going to be bold ina answering.

As you are undecided and need our help i'm gonna tell you what my mother would tell me in a situatiojn like this GET BOTH NOKIA N8 & S8500 YES TRY BOTH OF THEM! AND THEN MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND WHICH YOU PREFER.

99.999% will say Nokia N8 but they are just biased they are looking at the specifications (WOW), and clicking on that button that bring up another phones specs and coming to a final decision.

Its like ice cream try them both and then decide. I am just glad you got it down to 2 mobiles

So Nokia N8 flavour or S8500

regards.

It just means that... moreThanks for the info Mac & Varun Arora it helps with say what resolution to use as 'standard' for those family shots etc. Mac says jpegs are impressive @ 9MP. I always go for the max resolution so with each mobile 1.3 MP to 3.2MP to now 5MP never 640x480 so I might take a couple @12MP then go to 9MP
