velu, 13 Oct 2010But as far as build quality is concerned Galaxy is noway near N8. As far as 1GHZ vs 680MHz ta... moreI'd give up the looks for having the best features anyday! The battery life is not great that's true, but powering a superb display and a lightning fast net does come with a price! I preffer shorter battery life then an inferior display and proccesor! As for the update Galaxy has now 2.1 but it's still better then n8 in most aspects! In a short time the update will come and then the 512 RAM will be available! If Symbian is so good why Nokia ar working on Meego n9? The obvious answer is they know that they need a new platform if they want to take back the smartphone segment away from Samsung,Htc and Motorola! Since they have nothing better to put on the table they launch a phone which has nothing special except it's camera in the hope of gaining time! But looking how fast Android is developing when n9 will be launched it will have to compete againg Android 3.0 phones and i don't see them winning!

Right, this is it
GSMArena wrote a good, fair review although it had abit too much focus on the camera part. The N8 is a wonderful swiss army knife of smartphones even without the camera. Many of the software things they complained about are being fixed as we speak. The N8, at least for me, is worth every cent even without the camera, worth even more with it :D
I thank the ones who asked good questions from me and I hope I helped. The phone is now widely enough available here so that Im not needed here anymore, I have to focus on my studies again.
I will not be reading or posting here anymore, so good luck with your phones whatever u end up buying.
Hail N8, hail Nokia!

Nokia Smartphones running on Symbian OS are known to have problems like Phone freezes / hangs and if the only solution is to remove the battery, Nokia N8's battery is not user removable. What then, you're screwed.

As far as 1GHZ vs 680MHz talks , it all boils down to how resource hungry is your OS is.
And another important thing Nokia is robust and reliable unlike typical samsung mobile which comes for 6 months to 1 year.
I am from India and i can give you so many links
about how good the nokia support is when compared to samsung.
If i buy a Nokia phone and incase if i get any issues i am
sure my problems will be resolved by Nokia care( atleast in India ) ,
but samething cannot be guaranteed for samsung ( esp mobiles and LED/LCD TVs ).
Anyway if i need pay 30k INR for Galaxy , i can pay another 10K INR and will go for iPhone instead of Galaxy ;)
Anyway i am using E72 and pre ordered blue color N8 which i ll get it in couple of days.

Wheez, 13 Oct 2010Heh, I was just sitting in the local mall surfing with my N8 when two older gentlemen walk by ... moreThat may be true about the camera but n8 can't compare with the Galaxy's superamoled display,it's touchscreen, it's 1ghz processorand browser the number of apps on the android market, As even Gsmarena stated,the n8 is the best cameraphone that is it's strongest asset and maybe the only one. As potential rivals Arena pointed out the Wave and xperia 10 ,Galaxy is in a different league from N8. Probably N8 will be a seller but only because of it's camera becaure in rest it has nothing special!

Someting i cannot make out from the pics clearly, does the phone have a place to attach a wrist strap?
& also, how do u 'end packet data', used to be able to hold down call-end key on my E72 to do this. is it possible on the N8.
Thanks again for all you valuable input.

I wanted to buy an N8, but I think the only good thing in N8 is the camera .... so I will buy a good dedicated camera .... like Sony Nex 5 and go for some other nice phone.
Even Samsung's Bada OS is better than this new crappy Symbian 3 .... what the *&^% !!!
Shame on Nokia !!! they should stop making smart phones and should start making cameras instead !!!

Heh, I was just sitting in the local mall surfing with my N8 when two older gentlemen walk by me and immediately stop when they notice I'm using the N8.
We had a good 5 min discussion about the N8 and it's camera, he was using Galaxy S and said that he has to carry a point and shoot camera with him cos the SGSs camera doesnt cut it for him, he even showed me the point and shoot camera he had so he wasnt just talking :D
One thing what I love about the N8, the blue color certainly gets attention :D
