      Rads, 09 Oct 2010Thanks for the speed specs. Your own figures prove the Nokias 680MZ chip outperforms the 1ghz ... moreNot to mention that at least in the "descriptions" some phones have both CPU and GPU mentioned, while N8 has ONLY GPU mentioned. At least Galaxy S and iPhone had the whole CPU/GPU combination named. iPhones numbers seem correct, but Galaxy S definitely isn't right.

        Guys,if you like this phone then you are more than welcome on this forum. But if you hate,you may leave. Simple right? If we want iphone we check the iphone forums,and if we want android phone we go to android phone forums.

          Anonymous, 09 Oct 2010if symbian is light, why n97 runs slower than iph 3g?? they both use same speed processor!!N97 was Symbian 1 and the firm did not optimize well for the hardware.

          N8 is symbian 3, a new Symbian.

          Vista was not good, do you mean Windows 7 is flop according to you logic?

            [deleted post]Thanks for the speed specs. Your own figures prove the Nokias 680MZ chip outperforms the 1ghz chips in the Moto and Nexux, & iphone! Not sure that your Galaxy S specs is right though. Give me a few minutes to google it.

              [deleted post]How many times do I need to teach you how to learn things? Did you read the comments there?!

              The reviewer either an idiot or just tried to fool people.

              N8 has tons of apps running on background while IPHONE 4 does FAKE multitasking, meaning heavy processes freezing in the background.

              In addition, N8 was not release firmware.
              In addition, the


              tons o apps running on background on the n8..

                Anonymous, 09 Oct 2010if symbian is light, why n97 runs slower than iph 3g?? they both use same speed processor!!N97 does not have a GPU, that's most likely why.

                Are you really surprised that 1ghz CPU is faster than 680mhz CPU while loading a game up? Really? That however, doesnt resemble normal usage of a phone. Or I dunno about you, but most of the time I'm doing something completely else than loading games up. The N8 can't use it's GPU to load up a game.

                              [deleted post]Your show of the CPU clock data just tells how ignorant you are. Let me explain in a simple way, maybe not exact. If you are smart enough, you will get a clue what I am talking about.

                              A tank may have a much bigger engine than a car, but it can not run faster than a car. Think why? I am feeling educating kids or teenagers.

                              The hint:

                              Symbian is a very light optimized OS which uses very little resources. Android is built on VM which is very resource hungry.

                                        hello, 09 Oct 2010iphone4 has GPU?It does, together with the CPU. A pretty good one, too.

                                        N8s GPU is different from the CPU and is at least supposed to be more powerful than most integrated (just about every smartphone have integrated CPU/GPU combination) GPUs. This can sort of be confirmed by how well the N8 does against other top notch smartphones in benchmarks even if it has lower CPU frequency than the rest.
