Yesterday i got my new black/grey Nokia N8. Its a masterpiece. All the features are top notch. After seeing my cell a good friend of mine wants to exchange it with his new Samsung Galaxy S. I simply refused. Its too awesome a phone to get exchanged with a Galaxy S.

A cortex a8 at the same speed is twice as fast, up to 5 times faster when the multimedia instruction set is utilized to its fullest.
Arm11 need 2GHz to compete with snapdragons cpu core at 1GHz. And then all we get is 680Mhz? just because Symbian has compatibility issues with newer processors. Ofcors Nokia doesnt use Arm11 coz its fast enough, they use it coz they cant make symbian work properly on newer cores.
Symbian isnt as lightweight as you guys think, only the core is lightweight, a modern phone cant do anything with only the core loaded.

1. Symbian
2. Bada
3. Android
To make matters worse, Android isn't very good at utilizing GPU. Part of this could very well be that different phones have so different GPU chips, while on Bada and S^3, there is only 1 GPU chip in use.
Together that means that N8 can actually do better than any of the current Android devices. Bada is another matter, but with Wave II looking lot less interesting and the slowing app growth, the platforms future doesn't look all that promising.

Oh, im too s2pid now, i forgot , Symbian doesnt have any real webbrowsers =) Ok, go ahead and enjoy your wap sites on your outdated N8.

The OVI application takes ages to start up and also the sync with Outlook calendar & tasks takes a very long time.
Hope there is a fix planned for this issue soon.

The screen on N8 is still very good though and I hate the "bigger resolution is better" argument that some people try to give.
As I said the resolution argument on Wave vs. N8 isn't all that clear.

Been trying out the Angry birds game on N8. But the experience has so far not been very good.
The screen gets stuck frequently and there are stuck pixels...maybe due to hardware ???

The N8 has a 2-tone color...Is this becasue the top and bottom is made from plastic? (im not talking about the glossy black ends) or is it made entirely out of anodised alumium?
I.E, is the part where the menu key is and the top part made from plastic? Because my friend has one, and she says that there is alot of light leakage(By the menu key)! I'm guessing becuase it is very thin plastic....

n8's resolusion is better that wave and galaxy s??wtf?????????... moreOh you didn't know about the SAMOLED on your wave?
It uses RGBG PenTile matrix. The green subpixel resolution is 800x480. The red subpixel resolution is 400x480 and blue subpixel resolution is 400x480. So N8 actually DOES have better resolution on blue and red.
Last I checked, Wave didn't have Android, so I don't know how your comment was relevant otherwise.
