bought N8 yesterday for my sister, i must admit it is not bad like others say it to be. the camera is superb (video and still)though s3 is great, i needs more refining. usb otg is really usefull, it is quick but not as fast as my N900 hehehe. btw, i got a french version for $540 and it's worth it :)

I have searched and there is not one ex... moreDude, 12 megapixel does not mean that the size (in kB or MB will be fixed). It just means that it will be a 4000x3000 pixel image as mentioned in the specifications page on gsmarena. The rest depends on the compression levels and optimisations done in the software.
      The photo should be around 2-3 MB is what I can guess. I am not an N8 owner. But just googled and found out.

          I have searched and there is not one expert owner poster, blogger, who can provide answer. So to be the expert that post the answer to this question (and I assure you No one has posted the answer) you will need your N8
          the question is I don't know the as n8 in 01/2011
          using the max 12mp resolution whta is the size of the jpeg.
          snap away and don't erpply anonymously this is your arena be loud be proud

          thanks

            Anonymous, 06 Dec 2010It is better to grow. A new breed of applications for S^3 and S^4 is needed urgently and it is... morethat symbian outdated mentality is promoted by the US because nokia ain't american company. Haha.

              @vijay : Go for N8, cause it has so much more to offer than iphone! 16gb plus memory card, real 3G videocall (iphone only through wifi), usb on the go,hdmi,superb cam, brilliant audio quality,excellent screen,responsiveness and build quality (aluminium)...the cpu @ 680 mhz is very much ok, the phone is not laggy at all, it's very fast, mine is loaded with apps and themes and it runs very smooth.i phone is just an ipod that is able to make telefon calls and download varius apps from apple store.it's nice as a gadget but that's all...

                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.

Not the fastest internet browser but good enough for me to use over my pc when at home. If you want to buy the N8 go ahead. Had mine over a month and its still the greatest I have ever seen

                                  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...

                                        N8 is the best

                                        Camera is excellent
                                        set in 12MP
                                        Color tone-> vivid
                                        sharpness-> hard
                                        Self timer-> 10second
                                        Activate

                                        check your distance before you take the picture.. This is the best setting try it and transfer to your computer. n8 is the best quality camera phone.

                                        Before you take a photos set that i mentioned before.

                                        Close up-also as macro mode? its blurred anyone how to use proper way of close up mode?
