Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

If you want a phone for show off,with apple logo,flashy UI and eye candy,then this is definitely not the phone for you. Go buy some toys. If you want a sturdy,well built and a real phone then N8 is just right. Moreover if you are using a phone for a year or two,the UI will definitely get boring sometime or the other ,may it be iOS,Android or Symbian. We all need changes,so the looks doesn't really matter. What matters is the performance and battery. In Android the battery drains preety fast,as I am using Galaxy S and N79. And about the apps,let me tell you. Android and iOS may be widely available in their respective app store,but symbian apps are available all over the web(for example getjar,mobile9,ovi store etc) and maximum of them are FREE!!! So don't judge the number of apps by only checking Ovi Store. Music quality of Nokia has always been good,maybe not like the iPhone,but it suits average users. I guess the music quality of this phone will also be awsome(yet to find out).
Moreover the iPhone is really expensive. iPhone 4(16GB) is 62k and N8 is 36k here,so you see the point. I would never compare both the phones and if even though N8 had lesser features than iPhone nobody would want to pay so much for that. I am glad,there is still nothing that iPhone can do and N8 can't. N8 has far more features.

Benchmarks disagree, the games I have seen on it disagree, the GPU is as strong as the one in the iPhone and the downside of the N8 is a benefit here. Less pixels to push means better framerates. The good games we have now on the N8 are iPhone ports and they run fine. Expect the performance to increase in future N8 games as developers learn to use the OS better.

[deleted post]playing games is not something that makes ashamed off,what ever your age is,there are different games for different ages,some games are easy and can be played without much use of the brain others require the player to be smart enough to perform,and if you are not interested in any type of games you are missing a lot of excitment in your life.
now why iphone users say gaming ,part of it is due to what i just mentioned but the main reason is that the gaming is the maximum performance test for computeres and mobile phones,and as we all know the performance of the n8 is a joke when compared to the iphone

However, saying that the dumbest people can use the iPhone is not really going to make me want to get an iPhone. In fact, it sounds more like an insult to existing iPhone users.

WOW!can't believe C was N8!
And all majority prefered C
and thought it was the sony
digicam(even i thought it was
sony)
pixon camera samples is a
give away though(i own one
but not sure for others)
now what interest me is the
way fanboys N8 haters votes
for this blind test
sure they eat thier words for
this:)
I comment to the one who said
why GSM arena want to do the
N8 review on a sunny day. Do
you have any idea that cam
perform well on a natural
light(even digicam). its
pointless to do a review on a
dim/artificial light. If you
thought it would be unfair to
other mobile fone, well thats
the reason why they did this
blind test. To end all those
fanboys bashing other brands
lets face it, N8 is a one heck
of a cam fone:)

Not to mention how ironic the "Nokia is for 3rd world countries and Apple for "1st world" (as in USA)" comments are we see here every now and then, yet they complain something that simple to be hard to use and using a dumbed down OS and phone themselves.

I don't get what's the talk about Symbian not being "user friendly". Yeah, it must be horrible to not be able to perfectly use a phone when you first unbox it.
It's not possible to fit all those options and features if it was made as simple as iPhone.
I've never had a modern symbian phone myself before the N8 and I've yet have to open to manual myself. I've found everything to be at easy and logical places.
Why design phones for stupid people anyway? Why do majority have to suffer about the device lacking featurewise cos some idiots can't open the manual in the worst case scenario?

[deleted post]Yes iPhone can't do all those things but Nokia needs to improve their user experience a little more. As I have seen some of the dumbest people using iPhone with no trouble, same thing can't be true for Nokia.

If N8 runs NFS without any apps running in the background, it will be a lot faster and can't be slower than iphone 4 at all.
I have tested NFS myself. It runs very fast and smoothly.
If you don't believe, try it yourself. If you troll, you will definitely fail again.
