Aww fawk, I lied! It doesn't give you the option of changing a default email client, but I'm sure there are/will come 3rd party email clients that support widgets and the full application.
Currently in the options you can change the following defaults:
Browser, Music player, Video player, Photo viewer.
Found at least one email client from OVI store already: http://store.ovi.com/content/39140?clickSource=search

Why do I need a 1ghz CPU when all it would cont... moremy friend its not only about specs
its about specs,software,graphics,speed,performance,easiness of the device n looks also count alot in todays smartphones. all the devices i mentioned are better than nokia n8 n if u use one after using n8 u will know that definitely
as far as the battery is concerned that problems have been solved by updates from different manufactures n also android 2.2 software
i would rather prefer a device which can use a spare battery rather than one(nokia n8) without it

[deleted post]LOL. Whatever you say I loved using N8.
After using horrible N97 I never expected N8 to hit back. I see BIG improvements in Symbian3 devices.

As I've told you too many times by now, I've SEVERAL times suggested iPhone/Android phones to people asking which phone should they get, since the criteria they gave fit better to some other phone than N8.
People who read these forums actively can prove I've done that many times.

Specs? You think that's what makes a phone?
Why do I need a 1ghz CPU when all it would contribute to on the N8 is wasting battery. The N8 has a very powerful GPU which makes it very even to other current smartphones.

I think you can see the power of N8s GPU pretty well there. The CPU is inferior and it shows in some areas, but overall I think those are pretty even, every device has an emphasis on slightly different thing.

Dont give us numbers, thats bull, give me the actual factual reasons that those devices are superior for my use case.
Handle a single email account well
Have Swype text entry
Free navigation
Images taken at night that look good (typical bar images)
Some 3d games
Solid build quality
Use opera mobile
Connect to my AV equipment
Be able to use it as a mass storage device for all kinds of media and work files
Call
Text
Now, please explain, point by point, what those devices can do in the above areas that the N8 cannot. And no, I do not use Gmail, I connect to exchange.
Go ahead, make my day.

[deleted post]Good work Wheez. Keep it factual and to the point. Perhaps this has been asked already, but have you been able to use opera mobile as the default browser on the device? As in, weblinks in an email open Opera mini instead of the stock browser?
Thx

Anonymous, 03 Oct 2010yes i saw them n some of them said same old outdated symbian n the reason why i am disappointe... moreWell, it pretty much only looks the same than earlier Symbians. Symbian^3 has been overhauled for touch screen devies, no stupid double taps and endless popups of making sure if you wanna do that. Sure, there are still a fair bit of menus, but do you know what having the menus there bring? Options and features. The menus seem very logical to me and I don't feel them as any kind of a burden, actually I don't really even get how would I come along without them, when I wouldn't have the options directly there at hand.
Those reviews were quite clueless though. Did you read the spot about "wading through pages of icons and menus and swiping and scrolling just to find the email client" or something? When I unlock the phone, my email client is right there (widget), I see the first 2 messages there and whether they have been read or not, a single tap will open the full email client for me. It's not an iPhone, so they shouldn't use it like the iPhone.
It's all cool that you can go all day with the iPhone without opening a single menu unlike in the Symbian, but you have nowhere near the same freedom as you will on Symbian.
I'd still really suggest that you try it out yourself if possible, but HTC Desire is a good device by all means, can't go much wrong with that :)
