      To all the visitors of this site, don't be fooled by the result of the voting. It seems that it is abused by android and iOS fans. Go to hell symbian and nokia critics! Better leave this site now and go to your respected anti-nokia forums! May be you all feel afraid of this nokia phone monster. Don't criticize this phone its because it is not yet released in the market. If you hate this phone, better close your mouth and buy android or iphone devices! Nobody force you to buy nokia n8!

          Anonymous, 01 Oct 2010about the techradar review its not about fanboysim or liking the android or htc devices more n... moreSo you are fanboy yourself.

          Symbian, is not trying to be anybody else. So when you are complaining about symbian's hierarchy of menus, symbian's own interpretation of homescreens, and symbian despite having flash lite 4 which is a good thing and still for you a browser without a flash is better(like iphone 4's), you think it's a good thing? Are you just wishing symbian to be an exact clone of other OS? Definitely you misinterpreted the word OS.

          And when you complain when it's your inability to understand is the problem.

          I could've taken that review seriously if it talks more about it's speed/performance, because, as a user that's all i need to know. But the moment i read the first part left a bitter taste in my mouth too early. They are critisizing the symbian's mechanism of doing things done, which is the reason why we love symbian.

          The review, for most part, is full of htc/iphone bias. I don't care if they give the phone a low score, but what turns me off is that as if the review is done to promote other brands, by stating that some other's is much better than the one you're making a review of without respecting what may be their reader's own opinion. Maybe their thinking they will receive peer approval thereafter, but guess what? The past comments are from open minded people, thank God.

                        What's the first thing you
                        should do when you get
                        the N8? Considering it
                        packs the biggest image
                        sensor embedded in a
                        phone yet, Carl Zeiss optics,
                        and an eight-digit pixel
                        count, it seemed obvious
                        to us that the answer was
                        to take it on a picture- and
                        video-taking stroll around
                        London. On our way out
                        we saw our iPhone 4
                        looking all sad and lonely,
                        so we went ahead and
                        brought it along as well.
                        Below you shall find one
                        gallery of pure,
                        unadulterated N8 sample
                        shots, another interspersed
                        with the iPhone's results
                        for comparison's sake, and
                        a final one with side-by-
                        side 100 percent crops
                        from each image taker.
                        Once you've digested all of
                        those, we suggest hopping
                        past the break and tucking
                        into some tasty video
                        comparisons for dessert.
                        Naturally, all the images
                        are entirely unretouched
                        (but for our masterly
                        watermarking) and the
                        iPhone 4's HDR hocus
                        pocus has been left off.
                        We've also provided a zip
                        file containing all the full-
                        res imagery shot with the
                        N8 in a link below.
                        A quick note is also
                        merited about the N8's
                        resolution. The sensor's
                        display ratio is 4:3, which
                        means that full 12
                        megapixel shots are only
                        available in those
                        dimensions. The camera
                        software, however,
                        defaults to shooting 9
                        megapixel snaps at the
                        increasingly popular 16:9
                        ratio -- this is done simply
                        by cropping away the
                        "excess" bars at the top
                        and bottom of the image,
                        meaning that the 9
                        megapixel images are
                        giving us identical
                        performance as the 12
                        megapixel ones, they're
                        just chopped down (from
                        4000 x 3000 to 4000 x
                        2248) for the sake of
                        convenience. Now, on with
                        the show!

                                    I don't know why people are comparing N8 to iPhone??? Come on guys,we only compare things that are on the same price range. In my country N8 is 40k and iPhone 4 is 62k.so you see the gulf of difference?? It is obvious that people who can't afford an iPhone will want to buy N8. So we don't really need a comparision. What we want to know is,is N8 worth the money???

All i got from techradar's review is comparison with iphone and... moreabout the techradar review its not about fanboysim or liking the android or htc devices more n hating the nokia n8 ..... its all about the best devices n softwares in the market n to be very honest with you android is the leader as far as the smartphone OS is concerned n anyone who has used the latest android devices will know that.....n also would realise that nokia n8 and symbion 3 OS is no match for say htc desire android,xperia x10 android or google nexus one.

                                        techradar review is just telling u why u should pay the same amount of money on nokia n8 when u can get a better phone with a better OS like htc desire or if want a better camera xperia x10.

                                        Anyone who has tried android devices wont look back to nokia n symbion for sure
