Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews
- Wheez
- Iak
Morning again. Shame that someone reported all my posts like 3 times for the sake of getting em deleted.
There was plenty of good information that broke none of the rules, but automation, gift and a curse.
Techradar and CNet reviews are both not so objective. The author has pretty much already set his/her mind to Android/iPhone and you can clearly see it. While I guess it's totally OK as an opinion, but I do not see that as unbiased review.
Let's take that quote from techradar again:
"We know that people will say that there's a desire for such organisation, but it should be more like the iPhone: choosing to make folders than having to wade through clicks and swipes just to find where the email client is. "
Really? Funny how putting the email client on the homescreen (after which it's accessible by a single tap) takes 1 press & hold and 2 taps. But NATURALLY all the icons are better when bunched in identical pages.

[deleted post]Apparently everyone who knows a thing about photography disagrees with you, the Editors themselves think the N8 was better (even now) and the commenters indicate that the taken approach greatly benefits the iPhone over the N8. They should have up res'd the iPhone images, then crop. Now its a crapshoot favoring the least megapixel image. Additionally, did you notice how there are no night shots, no very low light shots, that only the N8 audio is used and that the N8 video is not shown at its native frame rate but stretched to fit Youtube, which happens to coincide with the fps for the iPhone. They should have uploaded this to Vimeo instead.
In any case, the fact that you come over here to spout this baseless drivel, is proof enough in itself of your intent, but the utter lack of regard for any of the relevant points above in your statement really seal the deal.
Fanboy, be gone!

[deleted post]if icrap 4 30fps video recording out performs moto 24fps it must be caused by moto sensor grade is below icrap
but this nokia N8 have largest sensor in current mobile phone market so it should produce better video recording quality
who cares if your icrap can capture 30fps if the sensor unable to capture all the details?
btw good to hear that you'll buy fifa 2011 for your icrap 4
I can understand the fact that 8yrs old kids only consider games as the only important feature
cheers :)

Being a longtime Nokia user and a current iPhone 4 user I can assure everyone that the iPhone 4 really lacks features most Nokia smartphones nowadays have. So while it’s not all roses it does have some positive things too:
- like UI is just simple and it works (although I could use an advanced mode setting, being too simple),
- there are way more games available on the platform and i’m talking really good games
- the apps are great, way more than on the symbian platform-have some really useful apps but out of the 225′000 most are junk apps, and
- the screen is the best in mobile right now
- it’s the best phone in the world for music (integrated iPod)
- browsing the web is a joy
- touch input work’s flawlessly probably best in the industry
The negative list is twice as long and basic features such as
- erasing an individual call it can’t handle
- you can’t sync wirelessly
- there is not cheap navigation method, tomtom is very very expensive, might as well get stand alone unit
- adding all those apps can be quite the drain in your wallet
- when you connect your phone to your pc, you have no access into the hard drive of the phone, only through iTunes (sucks bigtime)
- if you have an appointment soon, tough luck it doesn’t show you anywhere on your lock screen nor home screen (very very annoying) actually a better term would be useless
- you can’t delete all contacts at once
- no sd card
- no FM RADIO. hello it’s a media device and has no radio! very annoying!
- you cant change unlock swipe direction
- the home screen is as boring as it gets, just some stupid glossy icons, no live widgets to be found
nothing else comes to my mind but that’s it. Whoever gets the N8 or any other (E7, C7, C6-01) will have plenty to brag about to current iphone users. Simply put neither one is perfect.
