Does the swype beta work on n8?
Havn't tried, it will certainly come to N8, but I'm not really interested in trying betas.
Does the new beta ovi maps support multitouch?
Yes
Does it work with usb mouse?
At least not with the one I have on my laptop, but it's a gaming mouse so it probably has some drivers it would need. The rule of thumb should be that if it works without drivers, it should work on the N8. Bluetooth mouse/keyboard do work with the N8 though.
Does it the screen resolution fine with the n8 screen size?
Yes, I'm having hard time imagining how could the resolution be anything else :D
Does the plastic top and bottom end is with shiny surface?
Not really, it's quite the same with the aluminium but in certain angles it reflects light abit differently.
How is the battery?
I havn't had this long enough to say it yet, one thing I can say already: The battery saving mode is VERY VERY good. It consumes very little battery even in heavy use, but naturally you trade away some performance/effects. I'm considering whether I should just always use it in battery saving mode :D

SHAZ, 01 Oct 2010Guys i live in India and iam presently using N85.Iam planning to pre-order an N8 2mrw,b4 that ... moredude.. demo pieces are available in India now.
you can try it and decide.
* touch response is fast and i cant distinguish between iPhone 4 and N8
* tried browsing for some 5 minutes and browsing experience is as good as N900
* camera is awesome
only thing is that the phone is little curvy at the corners which may not be liked by all ;)
i already preordered it, price 25K and 2K for preordering.
phone will be delivered from oct 16

It looks the same, but it has been redone for touch screen devices, the biggest things in common it has to the S60 5th edition is the name Symbian and the buttons. That's about it.
I rather keep my Symbian^3, thank you. I'm liking it alot.

Someone was wanting my opinion about whether to not get N8 or not and I get happier every hour for buying this when I find new cool stuff it can do. Worth every penny.

I have had many nokia's in the the past and all of them were great. The thing that nokia needs to do is change the os (they should of got palm before hp). iOS, android, palm os and windows 7 mobile are all good os; symbian is out dated! Eye candy (and apps) is everything now, even Rim plans to change their os to the play book's (that's their new tablet). Nokia doesn't need android but something Fu@king close, YOU CANT HAVE A OS THAT CAN BE USED ON A NON-TOUCH SCREEN!!!!
As of now iPhone 4 is king not because of the hardware or software, but it's easy to use and apps. If you think I'm wrong, tell me 3 reason why. To be the king you have to beat the current king and only android is putting up a fight for now.
Maybe next will be better for nokia, I hope so.

The Hydra, 01 Oct 2010Hmm.. I checked DLNA,ORG.. It has N85 but not N8... As well as the spec list in forum-nokia,... moreMy Tv doesn't support either DLNA or HDMI, so it doesn't matter to me :D. New gen LCD/LED HDTVs support both. I think wave can play HD quality videos on such TVs with DLNA. So HDMI or DLNA doesn't matter as long as you have either.

As well as the spec list in forum-nokia,com did not mention anything about UPnP/DLNA in N8 while my N85 does.
But it seem weird. Why will Nokia remove this feature?
Maybe we should wait someone for conform this?

Mark, 01 Oct 2010Nice overview. Still, some remarks:
I think you need to roll up cpu, gpu, responsiveness et... moreI just compared hardware specs and since I have no idea about Symbian 3 I just can't give my opinion on that. The processor on wave is better than that on N8 when it comes to speed and graphics. Don't know how the dedicated GPU on N8 would perform against it.
The review on tech radar states that N8's battery lasts for 2 days which is same as the one in wave.
I agree to a certain extent that Samsung support sucks. I have had a tough time with kies, but they're providing updates for firmware and kies on a regular basis,so I hope they continue supporting their flagship BADA phone and platform. BADA is not as bad as it's made out to be. If Samsung supports BADA, then we as users will have wide varieties of OS to choose from. Although it might not become as popular as Andriod or IOS, it definitely has that potential.
No hard feelings, just my opinion.
