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..

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!

Jimmy, 30 Sep 2010Wheez, can u do a video review for N8? Incase u have done it already, do post a video link.I did, but it's so hard without a good camera with a tripod. It became very very crappy. And it wasnt really a review, mainly showing the features and the OS, but so many features I couldn't fit into it.
I'll try uploading it tomorrow, it's so slow and havnt had the time to do that yet.
For the poster after that: What do you mean with battery back up? There is no "normal TV" output, so HDMI is the only option, there may be HDMI-"normal TV output (is it AV or something)" adapter for sale, but at least not included in the box.
The headset is WH-701
Wheez, 30 Sep 2010The phone with battery inside

And about color...i agree with you.
When i was buying 5230 half year ago i was searching whole town to find white with blue back cover. I dont like black or silver phones.
But i must admit N8 looks great in every color.
But personaly i would get green it looks kinda odd, then blue and then orange. Black is ok and silver is...ugh don't really like it!
Wheez, 30 Sep 2010Anything specific you would like to know?what about the battery back up?...and can u pls let me knw the model number of the ear phone the gave you with the phone.?
are they providing a hdmi to video/av cable by which we can view the contents of the phone on the normal television?
Wheez, can u do a video review for N8? Incase u have done it already, do post a video link.
Emix, 30 Sep 2010Wheez Can you please tell me what exactly did you get in the box? ThanksThe phone with battery inside
USB-mini USB cable (PC to phone, for example)
USB OnTheGo adapter
MiniHDMI to HDMI adapter
Charger (can also be charged via a computer with the MiniUSB-USB cable)
Earplug headset 3,5mm
As said it depends on where you buy it. Same places get stylus, some places get HDMI cable, some places some bluetooth headset, etc.
Seems that we finns only got it first :D

Everybody has a black or white phone. One reason I decided to get the N8 in the first place.
