Ivynash, 01 Oct 2010Hey Wheez, congrats on your new N8. I have pre-ordered it here in India and will be getting it... moreNavigation works like a dream. Combined with FM transmitter to play music from your radio -> epic driving :D
Havn't tried anything HDMI related cos I don't have a HDMI supporting TV nor the cable. There's plenty of videos on youtube about the feature though.
USB OTG works like a dream as well, that alone is a reason to buy this phone :D

Anyway, that is one of the features you should have checked given the problems with the Nokia N97 family. They used to freeze at times when using the on-screen slider when answering calls.

Is it like in the previous versions, where we need to slide our finger across an on-screen slider? Hope there are no freezing issues, if an on-screen slider is used.

There are few themes but I didn't really try em cos I like the default one. Theres some new theme you can download that has new icons for the default "apps". Called "Midnight" or something, the new icons look very good.
Could be there's a live wallpaper but I don't want one to eat my battery, could be there isnt by default but once again, ovi.com

I think that N8 is best all around multimedia device avilable on market today!
Maybe it doesnt have biggest screen and best resolution or fastest processor but what N8 has is enought for one mobile phone.
And this is actualy not just a phone its multimedia player, game console, hd camera...
So please stop compearing this monster with half products like wave or iphone. They miss many features that N8 have!
Can't wait to buy me N8!!

On Nokia N8, the RAM is 256MB and ROM is 512MB. Yes, ROM was not the only problem on N97. Touchscreen sensitivity problems (resistive unit), inadequate RAM were some of the few.

Mac, 01 Oct 2010Now that is tops!!! Did it give you an option to store it there or did it just store it there ... moreAll versions of symbian give you the option to select prefered storage. The thing is, like all mobile smartphone os, while the bulk of the apps package such as the graphics and code can be stored on external storage and mass memory, certain key components and logs need to be stored on the rom. Still, i doubt anyone could probably run into rom related problems on the n8. I doubt you can get enough apps worth to fill the rom on 16gb mass memory and a 32gb memory card. The problems with the n97 were more than just rom.
