Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

I've used this phone for more than a week now. "My return to the Nseries" I thought. The design is really nice and on the outside N8 is really impressive. Too bad the ^3 interface is absolutely terrible when you start dabbling deeper into its functions. I constantly have the feeling I'm using a half-finished product. I regret the purchase and at the moment I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Why the mobile companies are in race of megapixel count. I dont think any user want more than 5 megapixel . No one is going to print posters from their mobile photos. All we need is good quality optics and image censor. Nokia can easily decrease their price if they give n8 type of camera module with 5mp. Now seeing price of n8 it is better to take one normal smart phone and one good camera with 10x optical zoom with rest of the money. I think nokia n82 had best camera with powerful xenon flash which was value for money. But only because of slow processor and software bugs made n82 unpopular. But i think now nokia can easily pack n82 camera module with good processor and stable software for reasonable price. I think it may happen in nokia n5 n6 and n7 series mobiles. But we have to wait another year or two.

didn't you think what makes this phone so popular besides its Nokia name?
its features, that's what people are looking at in the first class
every feature added into such device is a + for such company
if it was made with MeeGo OS I'm sure that would simply blast all the competitors, there won't be samsung/iphone/htc/motorola/lg/crapberry headaches anymore.
but again, competition is good for consumers anyway.

It doesn't have a section for symbian 3 as yet as it just came up, visit the s60 v5 gallery and find for hackers like farshad_enq..
I've been using nokia e51, and those were the likes i use on my phone.
Nokia has a huge amount of black hat hackers as they call them and they would be generous enough to help u out soon so just stick around on those sites and u could just find the app of ur choice.
Some help has already been provided by teams like hx and sgx in the areas of camera and screen ui, just in case u are unaware...

then let samsung remove 3G for example or USB besides its slower 3G/GPRS what you will do?.. buy it? it'll be even sucks more than its current specs.
people always see the features of the phone before buying one.

I am waiting for Blue Nokia N8 either from Orange or from carphonewarehouse. Orange & carphonewarehouse only have N8 in silver & black on different operators for the now. I heard that we might have to wait till later November to get all the colour ones.
I could order one from Nokia directly but they only have 02, Tmobile or vodaphone. So I am on a different network. So this is not currently posible as they offer nothing better for the price of the tariff. Orange has been very good performance which I am pleased enough with.

Nokia is a fighter and it has just entered the touch battlefield, it has all it needs to develop a all round great touch os, but it takes time, u can't just go and ask google guys to take some lessons for touch, android and htc have been in this world for years, did u hear any htc name before one and a half year? Nope, android is great but nokia is on its way, its growing learning and running. There guys have delivered greatest smartphones in bars, and are used to keys, but its changing...
Just a first step to touch market and all these phones are on top of daily interest charts in GSMA already, just wait for say 6 months and find nokia wrestling droids and ios out single handedly...

For all im u have ebuddy (can manage all accounts like yahoo, gtalk, windows live, facebook, and many more simultaneously) or nimbuzz...
For all round audio and video you have core player as it plays almost any file available in video format, and many more divx players and flv players on the list...
For games i don't know about the ones u mentioned, not on my favourites list, but i've played games like ea fight round2, ea nfs shift, tomb raider, and many more, and i guess ngage 2.0 games are even more fun with some ranging like 12mb of data so u can imagine the graphics...
Have fun...

I've about 75 app and 45 3d games on my previous symbian wha are all greatly useful, with ones like msdict 7, advanced devicke locks, and also quickoffice 6, all hacked and free, running great on my phone...
Android has a great app gallery too but u can get all that u want for free, for eg, document editor, and many other app which will loosen a bit of your pockets... If u are superrich and u don't care go ahead...
Symbian is anyways gonna develop faster than both as it has the biggest developer support, it has just put its feet in the touch environment and u can see the reaction, imagine with things like meego, n9 n sym 4, already on the developers board...
