Some people just don't just get that a lower processor does not mean that the device will be slow/laggy. This quote is taken from Gsmarena's preview of the N8:
'As you see the hardware is all there – there’re not too many devices out there that can match the Nokia N8. Some will understandably frown at what looks like unimpressive CPU clock speed and scarce RAM. Just remember that it’s the performance to be judged here and not the sheer numbers.
Different platforms have different needs so we’ll only know if Symbian^3 can do without a 1GHz Snapdragon after we’ve seen the N8 in proper action.'
No doubt that the N8 will perform better with a faster processor. However, a better processor means that the price of the N8 will be higher, so will the battery consumption,and the phone will be thicker. And nobody wants a more expensive N8 with a short battery life. Just have a look at

milestone, 09 Oct 2010hi all, considering this isn't a 1500mah battery powered phone, how would it perform with xeno... moreSadly I can't really comment with the flash, but some days back I took like 55 12mpix photos (all without flash, had enough light "on my own") and it didnt suck up much of the battery. By the end of the day after I had browsed the web and listened to some music, I still had like 52% of the battery left when I went to sleep.
But sadly, can't comment on the flash part (which was the only thing you asked, lol)

You can reset the device without taking the battery off the same way you do in laptops and computers, hold the power button down for around 8s and it does a full power cut off. No matter how jammed the phone would be, the power goes off.
It's not that compact, but neither is any other smartphone comparable to the N8. I think it's just perfect in size, 3,5" screen isnt too big or too small, 135g feels right in my hand, etc. I guess it's what you are used to.
Why is it a bad thing to have the SIM port next to the memory card slot?

hello friends, this is a power packed mobile... no doubt in that...
But i heard that, we need a screw driver to see even the battery and the SIM card port is near to the memory card port... then it got a big size and not compact.. There is no other things as drawbacks..
Simply awesome...

Anonymous, 09 Oct 2010What does N8 no match to your 3GS? Is this sarcasm?Even as an N8 fan I can answer to that, probably overall fastness (although illusion, mainly), smoothness and web browsing until N8 gets the new browser. Also, selection of apps.

ca... moreSymbian^3 and the N8 can do SO SO much more than 3GS or any iPhone up to date can, but it's really up to whether you feel the need to be able to do those. Not everyone does. Many people are happy when they can nicely browse the web and listen to music, and in such case I'm not sure if theres a better device for it than the iPhone :D
Although they are abit costy, but the chances are that you'll feel more home with the iPhones.

ca... moreThat's a tough one and we'd need some more info. Your phone usage habits are probably built very much around your 3GS now, so it may be hard to say too.
Would you think you would have use for stuff like USB OnTheGo, FM Transmitter, TV-out connections, free offline navigation, are you pissed off at the connectivity between bluetooth and being tied to your computer and iTunes?
Until the N8 gets a new browser later this year, I'd say 3GS may get the honor of having better web experience. You may also feel the N8 seems slow, cos it has little to now transition animations unlike the iPhone, it in reality isn't slow, but it most likely will feel like that. Do you like the N8s outer design and materials?
You should probably go try it yourself. If you are very satisfied with your 3GS and don't find it lacking in ie. connectivity, then maybe you might be better off buying iPhone 4 for example.

yasir.pk, 09 Oct 2010what about playing games on n8,specialy car racing.run a car with accelrometr?or on screen controlsNaturally depends on games, but for example NFS:Shift works with accelerometer, only thing you do by using the screen itself is when u brake. Turning and accelerating is made by turning the phone.
