Anonymous, 07 Dec 2010iphone of course. i own an N8 and its a good phone but if i had enough money i would buy ipho... moreOh please, iPhone is a toy. The build quality is terrible and there are so many limits they will end up irritating you which ever way you turn.
That is of course if you actually need a smartphone. If you don't actually need widgets, good notification system, don't want to transfer files to / from your phone, don't care about multimedia capabilities, don't actually need to call anyone etc. then by all means go iPhone. It is quite a lot more fun than Sony PSP ;)

sandeep, 07 Dec 2010hey frndz who have nokia n8 , plz tell me n8 is excellent or not i m puzzle because some says ... moreHi, Am From TamilNadu, India. I have been using N8 right from 25th Oct and am very much happy with my purchase and its worth for the money paid and even more. Even an iphone user who have used iphone for past 1 yeah had an hands on my moble and told that the mobile is good.
But one kind advice dont install any of the S60V5 sofwares or Kaspersky Mobile Security(KMS) it will make the phone to get restart.

Hey people. Just handled an I phone 4. Great device. Really great BUT I still have to rate my N8 above it. The friggin thing doesnt even support java. No radio. What the hell! Way over-rated and overpriced for what you get. Plus the guy has it wrapped in multiple layers of 'clothing' because, as GSM arena once stated it is 'the most breakable' smartphone. I stopped short of throwing my N8 into the wall as a means of boasting. Iphone 4- still a great device but face to face with the N8, names and biases aside, the N8 rules. No apologies.

all guys quarrelling about os and cpu...
Symbian is now qt based, its on the second level of system language, it it'll take less time and power to convert to binary for processor.
Ios,android, bada all are built at 4th level of system information so that they are more visually good, more levels make it easy for developers to develop ui, thus it requires more powerful processor...
The new qt kit for symbian has more specifically made it very easy for developers to develop the softwares as the qt kit soft is built on 4th level of system information, so the developers prepare app using higher level so that its easy for them and the apps are compiled in 2nd level so they are easy on the phone processor. To cut it short, its fast and has good ui too... Thats how you do it the expert way...

NokiaMarc, 07 Dec 2010Yes, this phone will play avi formats. In fact it will play virtually any format thrown at it.... moreDitto. Only thing that really drains the battery is using GPS, so if you use it for satnav a lot get a car charger.
All people saying the processor is rubbish are clueless. This phone has a GPU IN ADDITION to the processor (GPU's can perform like processors), and anyone who knows about technology will know GPU's are extremely efficient.
People complaining about the screen resolution - on paper I agree it's hardly impressive, but hardly noticeable unless you stare at your phone screen for hours with a magnifying glass! Don't be pathetic. The colour rendering is excellent and touch response (most important feature of screen) easily on par with iphone 4.
Music quality is the best I've heard from a phone, HDMI out, USB on the go, the best camera on a phone, very good satnav included for free bla bla bla I don't see any phone that can match all this.

Yes, this phone will play avi formats. In fact it will play virtually any format thrown at it. It records in mp4 format (sadly not avi).
As for battery life, I don't know what people must be doing for their batteries to run down so fast?? I'm a fairly heavy user of the multimedia applications and use both still and video camera quite a lot and I am only charging my N8 every 5-7 days. I guess the few times I download my content onto my pc charges it up a little, but it can't be that much.
This phone is awesome!!

Hey Jim it's processor is a little slow. After a few apps were added and some room used on the internal hd. It could have been early stages of the phone dying. we'll see how it goes after its repaired

Dear all, does anyone know does N8 could save the page while we online any webpage on N8 as picture and mms to someone else? I couldn't find it after many days purchased the N8. All the iphone generation could by pressing menu and start button at the same time. Guru and Sifu pls advise. Tq
