Also there's not many a phone out there which can capture 12mp photos with xenon flash and capture HD video with stereo sound and have HDMI out, USB on the go, FM transmitter, Bluetooth 3.0, Dolby Digital, DivX playback, front facing camera, Gorilla glass and 16GB storage all rolled into one.
Your logic is flawed there is no phone in this World which could have done all of the above two years ago and there's not many a phone which can do all the above now.

-Android is so heavy, N8 is better for gaming device than any current Android device.
-S^3 can use VRAM so actually N8 can use RAM up to 1GB. No Android/iOS device can do that.
-The 640x360 display actually has better red pixel resolution and blue pixel resolution than Galaxy S or Wave.
It also can output HD quality video, has USB OTG, Great camera, best customizability (well, after N900), Camera that is so far ahead others its ridiculous etc.
Most manufacturers just solder components together and compete on spec sheets. Nokia actually designs phones by balancing the overall experience.
You can put in the fastest processor and end up with huge space eating heat sink, large battery and bad CPU lifetime or you can create efficient OS and use all that for something better.

As a matter of fact, if you do a straight test with the HTC Desire HD, iPhone 4 and Galaxy S, I think you'll find that the sound quality and volume is superior in every way.
And if you do get a chance to playback a High Definition video (720 fps) on both the N8 and S-LCD based Desire HD I think you'll retract your comment regarding the N8's alledged inferior screen, because it's running standard OLED technology.

Anonymous, 01 Dec 2010ok u can adjust with ur n8 after spending 23 k..but y??there r bettetr options.....no need for... moreWell i'm from malaysia and i only got it for rm1500, which to me is quite reasonable considering the features and the phone is still new. And nokia doesnt give a shit about me.
'y u have to wait for upgrades for basic things to work properly!'
same goes with iphone4, where they say that reception prob is fixed with the software update (making calls is very basic) android 2.1 to 2.2 (2.1 cant install apps on SD card, which is one of the basic things in a smartphone)
"u r happy with ui "UI and screen doesnt bother me much, as long i can use it, it's fine with me."how can u manage with it??the ui is atleast working thats enough for you??"
well i have been a symbian user from the start so the UI is familiar to me.
"audio quality is there, just a low volume (hope nokia can fix this" again the same thing..how nokia will make it louder its a hardware thing..\"
audio and volume CAN be improved through software update. Nokia has been providing better audio and volume through software updates, the latest is the nokia X2. (i think)
'and y the games like hero of sparta is running slow??u will probably say not using gpu..but y??nokia has released the fone after so much delay!!but there is no game available which is coded for symbian 3??and can use gpu??'
all of the games use the GPU. the reason why gameloft games are slow cause gameloft are lazy to properly port the game to symbian^3 platform. If NFS shift, angry birds, galaxy on fire and rally master pro can run smoothly on the symbian^3 platform, why not gameloft games? Is all about the willingness of the developer to port and code it properly.

Cpu is coupled with a great GPU so the smoothness is there, web browser will be improved a lot in the next update. UI and screen doesnt bother me much, as long i can use it, it's fine with me. Just one restart with my unit. Resolution produces a 16:9 ratio, great for viewing vids.
Anything else will you like to throw at me?
