The camera an... morei know! :@...
this is like the only serious drawback in symbian thus far :@, i rrly thought nokia would of fixed b4 N8 launch...
how hard can a multi touch,halfscreen keyboard be? rrly..
anyways, dude, since i dont have my N8 yet, i cant confirm if it would work or not, but check "dayhand keyboard"
it installs a two kind of keyboards instead of the original symbian, one is opera browser like, and the other is iphone like, not sure if it supports multitouch, but try it :)
works on s60v5... HOPEFULLY its compatible :)
please review it :)

Its been 2 days I've got this phone and here is the first impression I feel..
The camera and video quality are very good as is depicted by the specifications.. but coming to the usability of the phone, I am surprised to see that the keyboard does not open up automatically in a text field. You have to touch in the text field and then the number pad opens up (not the QWERTY keyboard!) when in portrait mode. Ofcourse it changes to QWERTY when you change it to landscape. I find this quite inconvenient and wondering how this is made in the so called new version of Symbian 3!
I'll tell you the problem with a practical example:
Suppose you are chatting, and you want to type and send a line, here is what you need to do
1) Touch the text field that you want to type in.
2) A new window opens up with the NUMBER PAD, you key in whatever you want and
3) touch the accept button, which takes you back to the chat screen with what you typed
4) now you have to touch the send button
all this is quite cumbersome for a person who wants to chat quickly (ive used nimbuzz). The same is the navigation when you want to type an URL in the browser :(
I've have commnts on other aspects all of them are good but I thought of sharing the negative aspect of it due to which Im quite dissatisfied with the phone.

1ST night working on my N8. It's connecting to my home wireless, yea! The N8 found 1 theme update right out of the box, that's the only update.
Going from my Nokia 6650 (S60 symbian 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2) to the N8 was easy. I'm happy with the N8's OS!
I'm still amazed with this phone's hardware. This phone screams $$$$$$.

Anonymous, 14 Oct 2010Look awesome just wonder why nokia decided to have new ui in symbian 4 but not in symbian 3... moreStep changes....small step changes my friend. Not huge leaps like android. That could go either way if changes are too drastic. They could have lost huge market share and more quicker too. People aren't used to too much change. Create the buy in with small step changes. That would stop the landslide and re-affirm them as market leaders. Symbian ^4 would be the clincher. Symbian ^3 is the stepping stone, a very crucial and necessary one too. By the way, i read in an article that android is about to release gingerbread a.k.a 3.0 but maybe refered to as 2.5 instead as honeycomb would take the higher number for the tablets. Announcement maybe next week! The shocker here is.....but Froyo was just launched!!....and still so many 2.1 owners didmt get the update as yet! This is what happens with big changes. Read the forums....people are not happy!! I wonder why?! Turmoil with their apps market too? Maybe not but android/google will burn soon. Mark is right below. Samsung will turn to bada. They have that. Where do others go to? Stick with symbian boys. Stick with symbian.

Even the most talked about samsung glxy cannot accept of send a business card which is most used .Sad To give a simili is is like trying to sell the best car with all the comforts but does not have powere stearing.

symbian^3 UI is suck, same interface of old s60 not... morethose statements are way exaggerated.
"symbian^3 UI is suck, same interface of old s60 nothing changed. "
gsmarena did not say that the UI sucked. Symbian^3 may look the same as previous versions of symbian, but if u actually use it in real life, u will see it has many changes, big and small.
"browser is slow to connect"
the N8 will soon get a QT based browser and Firefox beta 4 from Mozilla. Or if you cant wait, use Opera Mobile which is readily available now.
"resolution not good also."
to me the resolution is gud enough. A bigger resolution means that a higher battery consumption. Battery life is very important to me too.
"theres no application yet for symbian^3."
NO APPLICATION? Just go have a look at OVI store and there are apps available for the N8. Heck, why stop there, just search on google and you will find a lot more apps for the N8. Keep in mind that apps created for S60v5 can aso work (mostly) on the N8.
"battery is not removable."
Battery IS removable but just not in a normal way. U can remove the battery by removing the two TORK screws.
And i bet you dont even have a nokia phone, even a N series phone
