Anonymous, 27 Sep 2010Mpixel of camera is not everyhing. Ovi store is the reason why n8 will fail. Ovi sucksI know, so does Nokia. Thats why they also put in the biggest sensor ever used in cameraphones and Carl Zeiss optics. Personally id probably use the app store VERY little even if it was the iphone one. Apart from few utility apps they hold no value for me. And for dwane, NDA means non-disclosure agreement.

After spending 10mins to get one app from ovi store, i gave up nokia and now upgraded to iphone 4 from three. couldn;t be happier. Music sounds nicer, ui is very nice, apps store is wow, music store built in (Don't steal music mates) and finally retina display and design of iphone 4 deserve iphone 4 popularity

Sort of sadly though, I might've been amongst the first preorderers in the whole world to get their N8, cos I preordered it the same day it became available in Finland. Later on though I cancelled my preorder (14.9.2010) to reserve it from the flagship store cos the preorder wouldve come with home delivery at times I wouldve never been home while my school is 100m away from the flagship store, so with bad luck, I just put myself into the back of the queue and with bad luck it may make the difference of getting it next week or end of october :/

I... moreThanks for copy pasting the full email, I've been asking around whether any finnish customers would've recieved the same message, but at least this far no one has said such thing.
I wonder whether it's actually about tweaking it abit more or simply not having the capability to supply enough to meet the demand.
At least for Finland the latest official word is still that first preorderers should be getting it probably next week (would also be a positive thing for Nokia cos then they wouldn't have missed the Q3 delivery they originally promised). I'll naturally keep this place up to date to which I can (I know so much more as I still part time work at the factory but the NDA limits what I can tell here or anywhere else).
I hope you and the others stay strong, cos you certainly havn't been waiting this long in vain.

Anonymous, 26 Sep 2010N97 was slow for last year standard. N8 is also slow for this yr std of 1ghz processor and 512Mb ramAnd your argument is sort of flawed. The N97 was not slow due to having old standards, but simply insufficient resources to run the phone. They for some reason left out graphics acceleration as well as it had too little RAM after boot up combined with most stuff going on C:/ that had very little free space causing problems.
N8 has 1) faster CPU than the N97 2) A dedicated GPU 3) More optimized OS for touch screen devices 4) Better touch screen by miles 5) 3-4 times the free RAM after bootup
The benchmarks also show that the CPU + GPU combination of the N8 is very even with devices "that meet todays standards" according to you. Naturally having more emphasis on graphics related stuff and little less emphasis on pure CPU requiring stuff.
