NOKIA LOYAL FAN, 02 Oct 2010i have nokia 5800 this the best phone with all sufficient media features as well as great inte... moreYou are right, the 5800 is REALLY great value for one's money. However they arn't even comparable with the N8.
Many, including me, value the added functionality and especially performance and camera to make the N8 worth the money.
Just cos it's not worth the money for you, doesn't mean it's not worth it for anyone :)

NOKIA LOYAL FAN, 02 Oct 2010this phone has got nothing new,people are just unnecessarily hyping over it.Oh, almost forgot. The first phone to have the new Symbian^3 that only looks the same to earlier Symbians, it's overhauled completely for touch screen devices under the hood. b/g/n wifi (getting quite common in nowadays high end smartphones though, the "n" part of it).
N97 and the N8 have like nothing in common apart from being made by Nokia, that's how different they are!

Wheez, 02 Oct 2010I don't really feel comfortable with the techradar review.
Just look at it:
"We kno... morewell,
Seeing how SE fan boy pretending to be nokia fanboy, and also android + iphone fan boy here.
I think that this phone got all the attention it need. And if this phone is really good. It would be the best phone after N95.
I think this Q4 sales number of apple & RIM would be very interesting.

They had their minds made up prior to the review. Should have just left it out instead and let a site that is unbiased rather to post a review instead.

Praveen, 02 Oct 2010I have preordered my N8. I am yet to get it and was excited about it, till i heard that
1. S... moreWhat does it matter if SE and Samsung drop it? It's easier to make phones for just one OS and seeing that Nokia is so strong everywhere outside the US, maybe they decided to try the US markets instead where Android is pretty popular. Nokia is still and will be the biggest mobile phone manufacturer, SE and Samsungs contribution to Symbian would've been a drop in the sea, pretty much.
As for LOYAL NOKIA FAN: I've read 2 reviews that gave it average scores, neither of the reviews being that objective, see my post below about the techradar one.
Naturally it doesnt make their opinions invalid, but they are at best opinions, I suggest you try the phone out yourself, I wouldn't trade mine for iPhone or Galaxy S.

I don't really feel comfortable with the techradar review.
Just look at it:
"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?
Really?!
If the reviewer wasn't stupid, he could have the email client in the homescreen after which he would have the email client on the homescreen where he sees the first 2 messages which also shows if they are read or not, also a single tap on the widget would open the full client.
But no, it's obviously alot better to scroll through a few pages of apps to find it.
Although, setting the widget to the homescreen might've been too hard for him... AFter all he would've had to do one press & hold and 2 taps and for the rest of the phones life it would've been on the homescreen, accessible with a single tap.

1. S... moreit's their lost (SE & samsung) not nokia.
They use android because they can't make a device as good as nokia, and therefore, if they use symbian, they will lost.
so, they try to use something that nokia didn't use.... the green-color fat robot... i mean... android.
it's not because android is better... but because they all too afraid to compete with nokia.
and seeing how cool this Symbian3 is. I somehow foresee the future that SE/Moto/Samsung/LG/HTC will have a hard time ahead, and 2 of this brand will collapse in very near future.

I have preordered my N8. I am yet to get it and was excited about it, till i heard that
1. Sony ericsson stopped symbian plans
2. Samsung not only stopped but also erased symbian from its history, removing the symbian developer forums too
So I feel I am alone in the symbian world :(
Should I have opted for a galaxy S instead and there by feel proud of latest Android world??

Anonymous, 02 Oct 2010@Wheez... Nokia N8 have theme effect like S60 3rd and 5th edition??? Pls reply...Obviously, it does have. Checkout some youtube videos. Rather, the effects are much cooler and smooth than in S60v5.

Wheez, 02 Oct 2010A good thing to notice about the 25 FPS video recording. Around here it's the standard in TVs ... moreactually there were 2 TV standard... in the past...
ntsc & pal
25fps & 30fps
nokia choose because it use less space to record the same amount of movie (less 5 frame each second..)

AMANITA, 02 Oct 20101) it has red video light,itz not so effective but N8 uses active hyper focal distance system
... moreA good thing to notice about the 25 FPS video recording. Around here it's the standard in TVs and I think TV broadcasts are 25 FPS here.
So it's not the inability to make it 30 FPS, it cos it's a standard.
However I will not bet my head on that info, I read that from an other forum and at least no one was claiming it was false info, so I'll trust it for now :D
