Complete disaster after all the hype
Check out TECHTRADER review, 3 s... moreWait for gsmarena's review.
All i got from techradar's review is comparison with iphone and android, and how symbian sucks and how it should be like iphone when you do this and that. One moment they are praising the n8 on one feature, only to be told that its not that important afterwards, or that it still sucks.
You can clearly see that the review itself is full of fanboyism, and it's clear that the one who wrote the review is a fan of android/htc/iphone/ios(whatever they are all synonymous to me). Because, they present their verdict without any rational thought. They said this is bad because it just is. If they didn't know where the hell is wrong, if they can't point it out clearly, who would believe them? Unless your a android/apple fanboy too.
Personally, i don't think anyone will benefit from that type of review.
compared to android, symbion is n epic fail n only those people will buy any symbion device who have not used an android device before......
htc desire,xperia x10 are much much much much much much better than nokia n8.
i bet after using any of those two devices u will know where the n8 stands

Check out TECHTRADER review, 3 stars.
You wait 9 months on a phone to get landed with this 5 year symbian effort.
Anyway looks like HTC or Samsung for me

When the votes were abt 50,000,the rating was 9.5,9.5,9.5 but they made it down by negative votings ! I really dont care abt it ,i just love this phn

I was reading the wave's spec and I clicked refresh and wham, the wave had 50 more votes. So I did a test and click the wave page again in less than a minute and the wave had another more than 10 votes. Either sammy's fans really love their phone or the employees really love the company or both, but this is not right. They shouldn't abuse the voting system. And while they vote 10/10/10 on sammy phones, they probably vote 1/1/1 for Nokia phones and I think that's totally not cool.
I start to feel that gsmarena should require a login for people to vote. Otherwise, people just abuse the system and the ratings become irrelevant.
Hi Wheez,
Does N8 have the same on screen-slider (as in the N97 series) for answering calls when locked? If so,does it have occasional "white Screen" problem we had with Nokia N97 when answering calls while the phone is locked?

To be honest i have been back here a few times today and expected a huge surge in votes and hits but nothing much..maybe people dont know still??
Stuntman, 01 Oct 2010I find this, for the most part, a pretty good in-depth review of the N8. It told me what I wa... moreI agree about folder system and used it since n3650,i create an Unused or Junk folder & put all the stuff i dont use in their so its still there if neded and NOT deleted..Everyone will be different in what they use most but i often make a new media folder and shove all media stuff in that,,i then do an office one and sort that out better.Symbian often uses these folders but i make new ones to suite as ofen the office is under apps and you cannot move to root.
I love symbian and tried others and perhaps odd in that i dont mind windows either,these Android things are just not techy just lovely little icons.There is nothing better than searching for and app and downloading it to find out you have to roll back time to install it,you feel as if you done something..
Anonymous, 30 Sep 2010I just read a review of N8 @
http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/nokia-n8-6... moreI find this, for the most part, a pretty good in-depth review of the N8. It told me what I wanted to know about the N8 and Symbian^3.
I think the reviewer is carrying some baggage from older Symbian phones. The organisation of the apps in multi-level folders is not an issue to me. I find that I reorganise everything in folders in a way that I prefer anyway. I have tried an iPhone before and they have everything scattered everywhere on the home screen. Just my personal preference to put things in folders. An extra level of folders help reduce the sheer number of apps in one screen.
The reviewer also said, "What's weird is there's nothing disastrously wrong with the Nokia N8." I think everyone still remember the N97. I guess Nokia can take this as a compliment, but it sounds like an insult as well.
The only thing I don't understand is his criticism about the volume buttons. "There's also a volume key with raised buttons, although these are fairly far away from each other, so can be hard to hit when you're not looking." Like what's that about?
A well balanced phone
I had hopes the RAM memory was greater
Great device
I pre-ordered in USA and the "black" N8 was my only option, color wise :O(
N8's started shipping today, but USA will not get ours until end of October! Booooooooooooo NOKIA!
This sucks!

Do you even know what 'slow motion' is? Ofcourse videos shot at 120fps are slow motion as the video is slower when played back. And in case you don't know, phone manufactures (LG and Samsung) have only provided 120fps videos in QVGA resolution not VGA! Get your facts straight before replying to something you know less about!
