Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

Wheez, 29 Sep 2010Maybe cultural difference, but the N97 isnt designed to be turned off daily. Then again, N97 w... morePhones (whether it's the N97, N8, Blackberry or whatever brand) should be expected to be turned off from time to time. For instance, I'm sure a typical smartphone user will periodically go to a movie theatre where he is expected to turn off his phone. I'm sure there are many other activities that smartphone users partake in where he would need to turn off his phone. When he turns it back on again, it is a benefit to have it start up more quickly than slowly.
I'm not sure what cultural differences there is where you are from. At least where I am from (Canada), it is considered bad etiquette to have your cell phone on in a movie theatre when the movie is playing. Also, where I work, it is good etiquette to turn off your personal cell phone during work.

can't get why n8 use arm11 processor which can even be found on 5230. GPU will not help much.

My N97 takes about a minute to turn on. It is very annoying to me because my Blackberry turns on in a matter of seconds. I have a Blackberry for work and an N97 for personal use. Every workday, I turn my work phone on when I start work and turn it off when work ends. Likewise, I turn my personal phone off when I start work and turn it back on after work.
I am merely speculating that the Blackberry's fast start up time may be that it is not actually turning off, but is in standby mode. In any case, it starts up fast in mere seconds. That is what I would like in a phone and I believe that is what N97mini_user wants as well. However they do it does not matter to me.

I like the look and specs of the N8 and i wanted to buy one asap, and if i'm going to wait for 3 months for a new phone upgrade while my N97 falls apart...volume not working, battry cover broken again and held on with stickytape, poor battery life....then Nokia keeps shifting its release date, well it will force a lot of people to look elsewhare.

So have you actually figured out if the de... moreNo, but even if I would/could find out, I would probably break my Non-Disclosure Agreement to tell it in here if Nokia decides not to shed light on it.
But as a guess I'd say it's both. They are working their asses off to provide enough of em and it's understandable to not wanting to send small batches of them instead of full loads. So meanwhile they are making more of em, they also get the chance to tweak the software abit more.
But the one I use nearly daily, I havn't found a single bug from it. I also know a couple of guys who have had the chance to use a prototype as their normal phone for months and they said they havn't had it hang like older Symbians have, for example.
Certainly there's something to tweak, but personally I havn't found anything critical about it. The biggest issue software wise I've found is that photo/video editor seems to be badly optimized. Even in their very simple menus they run in like 10 FPS, while any other included app runs with some easy 60 FPS if/when needed. And that bad performance in the photo/video editor is even when not editing anything, u can see it in some videos when they just launch those, its alot choppier than anything else in the phone.

So have you actually figured out if the delays (where delay there is) were due to the high demand or to a software issue?

Also probably the reason why I don't have much of a trouble waiting for this. I also understand that after N97 is understandable that they don't want to release it with too early software, cos they can't afford doing new N97s here.
I also understand that they were forced to announce it early due to that stupid Eldar Murtazin or w/e.

And Wave is NOT PLASTIC LINE!

For me, the N8 is better, theres nothing you can argue about this cos you are not me. It's my opinion. I said the Wave is a wonderful wonderful device and IF I would get anything but the N8, it probably would be Samsung Wave. But only the looks of the Wave alone would make me not buy it, just my personal opinion.

Do you even know when you&ac... moreThey havn't sent the same kinda delay emails here in Finland than they have in the UK, so technically theres a chance to still get at least some colored ones this week.
But for most non-preorderers the given time is like end of october, so I suppose then.
I know it's coming out, I'm not in a hurry. I have a totally working Nokia atm, I just change my phone every 2-3 years even if its perfectly fine.
Why would I wish him luck waiting the N8 when he clearly stopped waiting already?

Wave have fine metal body and great OS, powerful CPU, GPU and DISPLAY!
Wave have now 1300 apps on apps store, only for 2 months!

Nokia is looser in 2010.
They must change overall in technology and OS!
