Anonymous, 08 Oct 2010Okay, you really don't have to tell silly lies here. We are literate. Who said 680mhz isn't... moreThe Galaxy S? It does not lag. See the reviews. I am not only talking about the Galaxy S. I mean all the Android flagships. I am sorry if I am being hard, but you must do some research before saying. Now did you know that even cheapest of the digital watches have RAM, ROM and processor? And on the other hand, even a super computer does have. Its all about speed and quality that differentiates them. I must encourage you to read and research what you are saying. Lets not be confined. Lets be dynamic. That way we can help people instead of fighting with them...

Who said 680mhz isn't running symbian at full speed? Who said the n8 is slow?
Yes, android is growing but symbian has over twice the market share. Android can never become the most popular os. Not even if nokia is the only company using symbian
The htc wildfire runs 2.1 alright but do you know how many features had to be disabled to enable it run properly? I used the wildfire up until last month. The mini pro also runs 2.1. Try placing it beside say, the galaxy s. That they both run 2.1 doesn't mean they have the same feature load. Neither does it mean they can run the same apps.
Android user 600mhz? You're lying again! Thats not even rational. Oses don't work that way. If the 1ghz is not fully used, then why does it lag? An os starts to lag when either its ram or processor are used up. And don't even try telling me the galaxy doesn't lag. 1ghz is not only required for 2.1 to run properly with all features onboard but its also insufficient if you intend to guaranty smoothness allthrough.
Symbian is much more efficent than android. Infact, android can't be described with the word efficent in any degree. This is more obvious when you take into consideration the fact that symbian actually minimizes running apps and doesn't pause then as is the case is android.

insaneman, 08 Oct 2010for me its not just about the os with the nokia n8 yes i am a bit of a Symbian fan but thats ... moreI agree with you. Its all about a race. Nokia has re defined their OS, while Microsoft is coming up with Windows Phone 7! Some rumors speak that Google is developing on the Android 3 (Ginger bread).
Well, anyways, thanks for being polite, many people don't mind arguing with others until the other dies :-p
Let's see the new flagship of Nokia. Hardware seems promising, but then again, Sony may be coming up with a 16.4 MP smartphone.
Let's see what happens.

And ya, about the new N8!! Whenever Nokia releases their new flagship, then people praise it like anything. But after some time, say 2 or 3 months, those only people say 37 kinds of shit about that particular model. Till now, N8 may be good, let's see what happens after 3 months.

Symbian?? Android?? It's depend on the peoples need. Some will feel symbian is good some will feel android is more powerful. But why?? Because for us as nokia users we had use to it for the symbian, so symbian for us is more user friendly and better than others. So no point to argue this or that better. Which one is more suite to our usage and expectation we just go for it, might not you go buy something but you dunno to use it then put it aside so it's just a waste!!

Gary, 08 Oct 2010For all those Nokia lovers... Nokia is not a good brand to say everything in a nutshell. And ... morefor me its not just about the os with the nokia n8 yes i am a bit of a Symbian fan but thats more to do with thats is the os that i am used to but thats not forget Symbian is still the top os in the world for smart phones at the moment, i can more than put up with Symbian being a split second slower and not so eye candy maybe compared to others but n8 is still for me because of its great features like camera,hdmi output,on the go usb supports etc etc, for me the n8 can do eveything any other phone can do but there are lots the n8 can do that others can't

For all those Nokia lovers...
Nokia is not a good brand to say everything in a nutshell. And it has been voted and proved globally that the Symbian OS is the worst OS. Get out of the
confined world and step into the reality people! Google is 100 times bigger and better than Nokia and their OS is way more advanced than Symbian. Let
me tell you how. Some people say that Symbian is matured and its reliability its undoubtfully good, its folder management, its task switching are all good.
They may be good a couple of years earlier until a much more advanced Android OS started rolling out. Android is fast, has more eye candy, is gaining
more market everyday, is open source, has its app growing like anything. Some people say that Symbian doesn't need more hardware resources. Now,
HTC Wildfire has a 528 MHz processor and runs Android 2.1 very smoothly and we all know the performance of Nokia N97 which had a smaller Symbian
number and higher processor. The Samsung i5800 Galaxy 3 has a 667 MHz processor and sails the Android 2.2 and we have all seen that a 680 MHz
processor and a 3D HW graphics accelerator can't even run the Symbian out there on its full speed. Some people say that bigger processor hogs up
more battery. That's again not true. When a processor is idle, it tends to use very little battery power. And there is no time in any Android phone that a 1
GHz processor is fully used. Its fully used only while benchmarking. Some of you would be thinking that what then the use of having a 1 GHz processor if
Android never uses more than 600 MHz power at any point of time. The answer is future apps. You would change your phone now and then just to have
some apps running that demand more processing power. I want to say one last thing. Did you people know that in the mobile industry, only Motorola,
Samsung, LG and Dell are the brands that are Six Sigma certified. Now that's what we call quality revolution. These brands will never compromise with
their quality. Even the leading brands like Apple, HTC, Sony Ericsson and Nokia are not Six Sigma certified.
I used to be a Nokia lover, until I stepped into the real world and faced myself against the reality. Then I realised that other brands are really miles ahead of
Nokia.
One more thing opposers! If you need to reply to my post, then you may do it quietly and in a composed manner. We do not need to fight all the way.
When calmly discussed, we can handle the thread a better way...

Samsung is a good washing machine, refrigerator brand...in mobile phones it just doesnt do for me...so samsung should stop experimenting with mobile phones and concentrate on manufacturing washing machines...

UBCNME,
Thanks on that reply. I tried to get the inside scoop with the nokia customer service yesterday, but it seems like they are reading a card or are told to not give information out, really weird.
So do you think the silver looks better than the dark grey(black)?
At fist I wanted the silver but the black may look sorta "slate" looking so I may stick with that.

I pre-ordered the N8 in USA on 08/18/2010.
I have NOT received my shipping confirmation email from Nokia. This is taking forever!
I sorta wanted the silver but since the black was only available, I'm just going to stick with that.
So if you pre-order any other color tomorrow, when did Nokia say they might ship? Maybe a week later.
I'm finding out the pre-order was sorta a joke...seems like it anyway.
