maria martinez , 10 Sep 2010hi can you tell me how to choose between iphone4,iphone 3gs and n8 nokia please .very easy

do you completely understand what multitasking means? then choose the N8

Do you only have a vague idea or not a clue what multitasking means? Then choose the iphone 3GS (iphone 4 offers barely anything more but its design)


shorter version; do you know anything about technology and are you up to date on the computerlike stuff...?Then definitely go for the N8 because you will appreciate it

if not, then you will absolutely NOT understand why the N8 is better, and you are waaaay better off buying an iPhone

    maria martinez , 10 Sep 2010hi can you tell me how to choose between iphone4,iphone 3gs and n8 nokia please .How to choose iPhone 4: pick up a phone and hold it left-handed. Try to make a call. If it fails, it is iPhone 4.

        [deleted post]GSMArena staff are awake, already deleted :D Hope that clown gets banned.

        Back to the N8 awesomeness :D

        I think the N8 was really good to hold in hand, it's physically a very nicely balanced device. The aluminium cover feels really good, the camera bulge is actually nice to put your finger under/over (depending on which way you hold the phone), the weight is really nice, heavy enough to feel sturdy, light enough not to be a burden.

        Also I think the screen size was a good decision, you can pretty easily reach the screen even in single handed use (common problem with touchscreen devices, I've understood). Bigger is definitely not always better.

        The home button could be nicer. It sort of doesn't fit in with the aluminium awesomeness of the rest of the phone. Also might've been better to place it in the middle, cos even if I'm right handed, I always have my phone in my left pocket thus use it with left hand if I only use it quickly, although I could still use it with my left thumb too.

With the dedicated GPU doing hw acceleration, it's equal to having AT LEAST a 1Ghz processor. Got to try one with a recent software yesterday and it really was fast.

                I even had to try going to the photo browser and then kinetic scrolling em individually and see how fast it can scroll em and the speed was beyond making any sense :D And it kept the 60 fps or so it has during picture browsing even when I was scrolling em super fast.

                I can't frigging wait for this thing :D

                  I 've sent an email to nokia asking about itz default clock rate ! Anyway, I am sure N8 will b free from lags and It will perform well ! Wait and watch it when it will b released ! Nokia have taken a long time for N8 and I trust that everything will b ok with N8 ! :)

                      So let's just say it has 680 Mhz processor with dedicated GPU doing half of the work for the CPU.

                        Anonymous, 10 Sep 2010ARM 11 NOT have 720mhz cpu-s! Vivaz have same 720 OVER-clocked (default is 600)http://www.arm.com/products/processors/classic/arm11/index.php

                        Press Compare Processors and scroll down, there
                        s this "excel" sheet. I'm not sure if it has all ARM 11 family processors, but at least 4 of em. These 4 have the following frequencies.

                        Frequency * (MHz)


                        482


                        772


                        990


                        427

                        So, there's no "default 600Mhz", but they range from 427 Mhz to 990 Mhz. N8 probably has the one with 770 Mhz and is then underclocked down to 680Mhz.

And for example this is said: It delivers extreme low power and a range of performance from 350 MHz in small area designs up to 1 GHz in speed optimized designs in 45 and 65 nm.

                                      So that makes me think that it's available in different "native mhz", and I think somewhere I heard that the Arm 11 in N8 would be like 800mhz or something, underclocked to 680Mhz.

                                        No offense, but it's easier to believe someone with halfly sophisticated way of typing.

                                        But you could still be right, I've seen ppl say it's overclocked, I've seen people say it's underclocked. Most people seem to agree though it's underclocked.
