Anonymous, 30 Sep 2010pls tell abt the loud speaker sound as well as headset sound..I usually listen to music with default laptop speakers so please understand that my understanding of sound quality is nonexistant. It's perfectly fine for me in both cases, you have to try that yourself to say for sure though.
The phone is not laggy. It doesnt seem as fast as, say, the iPhone 4 but that's mainly cos it doesnt use that much transition effects, it doesnt use "sleight of hands" effects (like showing a picture of the app before its actually usable) and in the browsers case with flash enabled it is slower than the iphone, but the biggest reason for that is cos the iPhone has that one feature less. Personally though I turned off flash in my N8 cos all it made me see "more" was the adds that I dont wanna see in the first place. It's good to have though, so if u end up really needing it, you can turn it on. In normal browsing for me it only slowed it down for no benefit at all.

Also, sorry guys for the video. I managed to edit and all, and started to upload it to youtube but I had to leave and with this net that I'm on now its nearly impossible to upload anything. I gotta see if i can get it done tomorrow.
But it became really crappy cos of the camera and cos it was so hard to use it while videotaping it. Couldn't really show as much as I wanted to :(

Don't worry guys, The real "AMANITA" posts from the address "up6J", and if it changes it usually begins with letters "up".
We're all respect Amanita and consider her "The Lady of Nokia" for her positive posts history beginning from the day the N8 announced.

I'm sorry the video took this long and it still pretty much sucks. The camera i was shooting it with was crap and it was very hard to use the phone whilehaving the camera in one hand. In the last solution I got both hands on the device but the position was very unnatural. It took me this long to get something doable videod and now I'll quickly try to edit it together.

Sean, 30 Sep 2010Symbian 3 is like Windows 7 from Microsoft.
If you consider S60 v5 as Vista, then they have i... moreI haven't tried Windows 7 yet. Still on Vista.
I currently am using the N97 which is rather sluggish. I have gotten used to it and have been able to configure it to a point where it is pretty stable. Any minor glitches, I know the workarounds.
I'm contemplating upgrading to an E7 (because of the keyboard). If S^3 is only a slight improvement, then it may not be worth my money and I'll hang onto my N97 for a while longer (or upgrade to a different brand).

Sean, 30 Sep 2010Rich guy!! I can afford spending near 400euros on a phone once in an year. So i better wait fo... moreMmmmmmm.....I don't think so. You see the Symbian ^3 platform is based on QT. The Meego platform is also based on QT. The Symbian ^4 version would......be...QT. Errr....works across all platforms nicely. Easily changeable if they need to as QT is soooo much easier to work with.
There is a competition going on in the US that Nokia are running for developers of QT based apps. They don't say for which OS but that is because the software would work on both....including Symbian ^4.
