Engineer Man, 26 Oct 2010Hi Bryn & Frankie good to see some common sense comments around here.
Bryn you say you ... moreJust saw your comment amonst the junk opinions.The touchscreen is fine its me who is not liking pure touchscreen and at least prefer a hardware qwerty and send/end keys,however i am getting on pretty well with N8 last touchscreen was vivaz pro/n97 ..
The loudspeaker is doing well with podcasts and music in my 12x 8ft room but not as loud as 5800.The vivaz pro speaker was awful in loudness and tonal quality also complaint on n8 about muffled sound if you put it down on a bed are true.I have an s/e stand that i got with the ill-fated useless waste of money p990i by my bed and it sits in that.Theirs plenty of volume in it tho.
The audio thru my senheiser cx300 is good with good stereo seperation but only 5 equalisers ie jazz,pop,rock,bass boost etc but no option as yet to make your own for some reason,you get loudness+stereo widening.
I am still testing stuff but live twitter on front screen(30 min update selected) is impressing me since n97 could not cope with live widgets ie ram and low c-disk space.You get 3 homescreen and put whatever you want on them i have bookmark straight to gsmarena.
Battery is really strong and to end this little opinion if i can use this touchscreen fone after years of hating them then anyone should be able too and the little key switch to lock fone is a gem.Why did i get an n8 when i HATE touch,well i had to give in somewhere to get hidef video record and symbian/nokia it had to be plus price and symbian^ 4 updates now as reported in press.
The n8 has lots of updates to come now and there is no need to wait for symbian^4 devices plus usb on go i have to try and lots more messing about AND finally the much anticipated angry birds is in ovi store 3GBP which ive got to see what all the fuss is about.brynn

I showed my N8 to another iphone user at work today. The person was all but drooling over the phone! They commented on how fast it was. I'm not joking... I've had my N8 for a few weeks now in the US.
I proceeded to show them this video and they were like, wth! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rbPF5ZjDpI

had it 2 days and still setting up but impressed by battery which was my big concern.My waves txt input is not helped by no cursor keys ,n8 does!! when using capacitive screen its hard to pinpoint the cursor n8 has right/left keys. I have black n8 made in Finland.

Dwane, 27 Oct 2010firstly thanks comments that are sensible and not just blind like most nokia fans. However i'm... morePutting an N8 (which is a higher middle-class phone) with other high end phones (Iphone4, Galaxy S) is like putting up a good teen footballer (n8) against a pro footballer playing in the EPL league (Galaxy S, Iphone4), its pretty obvious who is gonna win. It is more sensible to put up the n8 againts samsung wave, SE X10, Iphone 3gs and Motorola milestone. I wonder why there are no videos about the comparison between N8 and all the phones i mentioned (except iphone4 and galaxy s)
