prince78, 08 Oct 2010Thanks a lot Wheez.. U have been a great helping hand to me with all ur comments and posts. i'... moreThank you for your kind words. My crusade will go on a little further till large crowds such as india will get the device. As ive been amongst the first retail owners of the N8, I saw the need for defending its pride against the uncalled for hate its getting from fans of other brands, who are insecure due to N8s popularity.
Soon the phones success will be everywhere and the happy owners will steamroll the negative nokia haters, then my job is done
Before thr N8 i never paid attention to newest phones or read/wrote on forums like these. Im not sure if ill manage to just forget all this, cos ive now spent hundreds of hours reading and writing here. Its been extremely time consuming (time which i dont have cos of university), but i dont regret it :D

U have been a great helping hand to me with all ur comments and posts. i've been following all ur comments on N8 since last 7 days.. I'm a proud owner of a nokia 5800 and a nokia E72. E72 is a nice device balanced overall. The only thing i disliked about nokia 5800 was its laggy OS and inconsistency of tapping method..
With E72 i'm fully satisfied function wise but wanted a responsive touchscreen phone with a larger display.. For that i was considering samsung wave or galaxy S. But again i wanted the functionality Symbian OS.. Now after reading all ur comments and early reviews from various sites i've made up my mind that i will go for Nokia N8.. Thanks dude.. Please do continue ur good work.... Cheers..

The same applies to iphone or android... moreYou completely ignore the GPU of the N8 that brings it on par with other 1ghz devices both in real life and benchmarks. I like you objective approach, but you need to do more research next time
N8 pretty much has a better battery life even when its battery is only 1200 mah.

The same applies to iphone or android fans. Lets stop being fans of phone companies and start thinking about which phone to buy after seeing the phones and consulting people who own the phones. Basically i feel nokia has again taken a sick approach and not given us a fast processor. The present processor might be enough for symbian but imagine what a fast processor would have done. Regarding lower battery life that is no excuse, they need to also develop better batteries just like other phone companies like samsung and iphone have done.

Why such a low resolution display? Using to write reply on an Orange San Francisco, a k a Zte Blade. Let's see you get a 480x800 oled display that many feel is as good at that of a desire. Many like me were waiting for Nokia to produce a decent smart phone is this it? Even the phone I'm using that cost 99 uk sounds is better regarding speed of processor and screen , plus do feel anything symbian is past it's sell by date. Where are Nokia's android phones? Samsung can produce phones with different operating systems why not Nokia?

it is sad that all the haters leave their various forum to the n8 forum just to bash it even those very savvy people still say things that get me suprised at how savvy they really are. the nokia n8 is just one phone and no one phone that exactly complete cos in making a smartphone u have to give sumthin for the other. the say the n8 should do this like the iphone, do that like the andriods and that again like bada phones it is just one phone and it cant be all ur various phones at once.the n8 is the n8 and it has its high sides which out weighs its draw backs in my opinion n8 rocks and u guy are just threaten by its existence.

Nokia is a company that focus only on making phones,
n8 very close to perfection, but e7 is bit dissapointing
n9 will be popular if it is candybaf

Anonymous, 08 Oct 2010hahaha. very true. symbian guys will know the nokia support quality within a few months. 5800 ... moreAt least they are giving updates, unlike samsung and SE WHICH happens to use android. N since when this became a nokia 5800 page? My god u android fans comments are like forcing people to buy android phones. Hello, as consumers have the rite to choose and not listen to bullshit. Go back to where u came from haters, ur comments just makes this phone more popular.

I presume that android got numerous updates too when they are starting. Now symbian has just release it's ^3 version, an OS optimized for touchscreens only. Just few of more waits till we see who the real king is.
