Anonymous, 19 Nov 2010"Iphone does not support even the basic things like flash" And we all know how &q... moreVery few people love using flash content on a phone. Many of us do not even want it on PC.

Nokia N900 has by far the best mobile flash experience out there and it is quite a hassle on heavy sites. Still, there are for example many video sites that are fun to watch with it. There are also several light flash games that can be entertaining.

The main thing is though that there are sites out there that have no other option than flash and with a little bit of bad luck, you still have to use few of those. N900 saved me many times when looking at that stupid flash based train schedule etc.

    Moreno, 19 Nov 2010In 5 days or less i will post on this page the comparison a match between Iphone and Nokia N8 ... morer u an idiot? how many times must someone like you post the information that i an all otherrs can see using "compare".
    Throughout history there have been disbelievers
    so even i as a semi intelligent.. no genius person know 12 is bigger than 5. It does not matter, those disbelievers will agree about non specifics.
    THEY ANOTHER PHONE CANT EVEN FIND THE RIGHT PAGE TO POST ON. You're wasting my oxygen teLling me stuff I already know and can get from premier phone magazine
    so if you post this oh look at me i know the diiference is that not just copying
    I am confident about the phone i am gonna get and just because another user is not don't panda to there insecurity. there are some post and i say wht the heck are they talkig about, and if it interest me i will do the research then there's you "spot the difference".

    yeah and lets say for arguments the n8 is laggy theres
    another 18 nano seconds waiting for a response when i could be doing something else. you are pandering to people who have to convince themselves tghey have the best phone in the world. you see they have to let you know thats why they are not posting on the nokia 1100 opinions page.
    so unless the nokia N8 secretly cooks & cleans I, no we, we can read. we can use the compare function. tell me now what can you do in 5 days or less?

          I WOULD LOVE TO GO FULLY PORTABLE BUT JUST LOOK AT TODAYS SLABS THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE A PHONE.

The app actua... moreIt was different situation, it works only with videos and it changed them to html5, so they run very well, all what i saw on youtube runs smoothly as it should be with flash. But skyfire didn't slow down sites where has flash advertising, almost every sites nowdays. there's so much rubbish flash stuff to slowdown your phones, i like flash on my pc which handled it perfectly, every flash stuffs run very smoothly.

            That skyfire is very good way to handle flash stuff, i would like to get little videoplayer from flash, but there's no use for all flash stuff on mobile for most of people.

            little not heavy videoplayer would be very good option.

Remember skyfire? The app actually had to be pulled out from app store cause users who downloaded and used it (the paid USD2.99 for it) were actually overloading the skyfire servers . That just shows that other iphone users want flash as badly as other people.

                  [deleted post]"Iphone does not support even the basic things like flash"

                  And we all know how "well" it runs on N8 :) So flash is good? but almost every N8 user says turn off the flash, of course it is laggy and run out your battery because you using flash.

                  i still have no clue why this flash is so important to nokia people, i think the reason is because iphone dont have it, i used iphone 1,5 year and i almost never had situation where i needed flash and now with WP7 still dont need it, everyday is less sites/video sites which need flash and that's good! we can all watch smooth videos without thinking this video could run smooth or not.

                  just yesterday i got asked by nokia user, how well one sites video review works, he thinked they dont work, so he tryed to be clever nokia fan, but they worked flawlessly without flash, surprise.

                  and this flash thing isn't only for nokia, i think for now it's all phones problem, phones performance is just not that level know and there's much speedier devices on market and even they cant run flash, some stuffs works better than other.

                            Would have thought a good comparison would be with the HTC Desire and having just replaced a faulty Desire with the N8 I would have to say from a usability point of view the Desire is far and away better. The os on the nokia leves much to be desired (excuse the pun).
                            Cant knock the camera and build quality but it cost me an additional $181 to go to what in my opinion is an inferior phone. Silly me....

                              At least, I'm so lucky to stay focus on N8 and take it. I wonder if I were listened to what those haters said and picked one from the others, now I'll become desperate and drowning in my regrets but luckily I'm not. Go for N8 and you'll find about what a great cellphone should be.

                                    I'm glad I have bought N8, it's pretty awesome, all in one nice touch dream machine. For all those who said negatively about N8, I thought they had never ever gave N8 a try in their real life, maybe they just hold N8 inside their own imaginations or hallucinations. When someone hates something, their hatred shall grown faster and bigger since they can't stand to face the truth knowing the one they hate is being better and better.
                                    Nokia knows what we're looking for, Nokia is really something.

Also flash 10.1 is coming soon to symbian^3. How the hell can the N8 be labeled 'bulky'? This phone is quite slim for a 12 mp phone (just take a look a satio 0_0). Right now, symbian is the best OS for the n8, but dont worry, nokia will be releasing the n9 next year and that will come with meego os.
