Of the thousands of UI defects in the N8 - the lack on portrait QWERTY keyboard is one of the biggies.

No more! The is a vertical keyboard! Well done Nokia.

Hmmm? Wait? What! It wasn’t Nokia wot done it. It was that crafty fox Janole.

So, a lone developer can beat Nokia / Symbian at producing a usable UI for the N8.

PS - I’ve thrown my N8 in the bin. I tried to return it - but they don’t accept phones which have been thrown repeatedly against a brick wall in frustration.

        This phone is boring, only great on hardware but very bad on software & nokia ovi store. Who need a hdmi port on mobile phone? The UI very laggy & not smooth at all since compare to iphone 4. Gaming with 3D chip? Iphone more interesting with accelerometer+three axis gyrometer...

                    n8 has good camera. Its autofocus feature is excellent its xenon can also be used in pitch black condition, but one may find problem while using automatic flash option as it some times spoils the image, hd video recoding is quite awesome with very good quality playback on big screens, but n8 lacks video light feature. Touch screen is very sensitive just light brush would do, one excellent feature is there is that the touch screen only responds to one's skin so you will not have any problem keeping it in you pocket without locking the screen. One more good thing about n8 is it can run symbian 5 aplication with ease.

                      YApps,softwares,themes cant b send through bluetooth.But according to my trick u can send (for newcomers who dont know)
                      1. Select the app that u want to send like ex- (asphalt.Sisx) at the end it is written sisx then rename it instead of sisx write jpg or mp3 or 3gp
                      ex -(asphalt.Mp3) then send to ur frnd mobile
                      2.After receiving in ur frnds phone then rename dat file ex- asphalt.Mp3 make it original extention ex-asphalt.Sisx then save.This is easiest method no need of pc

                        [deleted post]get lost. we have all seen these videos already. you are not first to post them here. anyways n8 is going to get a large number of updates which will make it several times faster. don't forget it is currently running on it's first firmware version.

                          I have also bought nokia n8. It has good gaming quality i have downloaded NFS shift (81mb) hd from ovi store. Games are shutter free even if you run few other aplication on background. But ovi store sucks, you can only get only few (real) games for free unlike android market. Even ovi music store cannot search all songs. Ovi store is full of useless aplication. Good hd games like Asphalt 5 (144mb), Avatar (120mb) etc are also available but not free.

                                [deleted post]Typical borderline know it all who knows nothing..The n8 is faster than omnia hd by 80mhz but that is fast at full blast 600Mhz.The big thing is the n8 powerfull graphics hardware & that combination is much better than 1GHz cpu alone plus its better on the battery.

                                If you search for most powrfull gaming laptop for 800GBP it brings up alienware laptop m11 (i think )which has an 1.3Ghz proccessor,SO,on that basis its rubbish then????No it has 2 special dedicated graphics chip to do blisteringly fast gaming.

                                So to sum for the last time for thickos who do not use search option at bottom of gsmarenas page to find an answer to a question that may have already been answered.

                                Mobile A HAS 1.2ghZ PROCESSOR with integrated just so 2d graphics chip.

                                Mobile b has 600Mhz proccessor with 3d dedicated hardware chip plus integrated 2d/3d chip.


                                Mobile b would win on gaming,video smoothness etc if the programmer made use of the graphics chip.

                                Now why would i need 1.2 GHz for except for flattening the battery??,,well people will say for gaming but thats so untrue,the nokia n82 3d graphics chip helped supply the 30fps tv out output so again its a combination of the 2 not raw proccessing power.So gaming is better with graphics chip than just proccessing power!!!!

                                The nokia n96 achieved fantastic video playback and codec support due to a video decoder chip and had 14hrs music playback due to a dedicated audio chip..If the n96 used one of its 220 Mhz proccessors it would shorten the battery life and produce not very smooth video playback and reduced codec support.

                                So take you massive proccessor speeds and get yourself a basic computer science course and learn real life computing.

                                Last thing to help, A proccessor has fsb,apu,level 1 and 2 caches,timers,2d chips maybe 3d chips,just to name a few its a complex chip. It is not just a brain.Proccessor speeds can only be compared by using the same family of chips and its speed is NOT determined by GHz its DMIPS which used to be WMIPS that counts its calculations.

                                The graphics chip in general is used for crunching thru polygon after polygon at its basic level and can massively boost a proccessor speed than raw GHz alone.

                                I should just give up with people who SHOULD NOT be using smarfones and STILL reckon mobile fone shops should give a warning when selling smartfones to the general joe public PERIOD.

                                Thanx Brynn
