I really like the UI so far. Reminds me of Samsung’s TouchWiz UI on top of Android 2.1 which I really like, except that we have 4 shortcuts in that toolbar at the bottom of the homescreen now, completely customizable as well I’m assuming.
As far as the “X’s” go, I’m glad they’re sized like that. After using Android for a week, I’m all for finger friendly UI elements like that. Symbian could learn from Android and start making things like pop-up menus with bigger lines to make it easier to press the different options.

N8 is far better than the Milestone 2!
MIlestone weighs 169 gram. D*mn heavy! N8 only weighs 135 grams.
MOTOBLUR is really annoying. Nothing compared to Sense.
GPRS and EDGE Class 10 (worst than the milestone 1 with class 12 which means slower) while N8 has class 33 on both.
bluetooth 2.1 outdated while N8 has bt v.3.0
Still no FM radio how poor!
Divx, xvid is still a NO-GO for milestone 2
Still no secondary camera. how d*mb!

I've seen videos of n8 and i noticed that the background of the home screen rotates accordingly to what direction you tilt it, i think it's so cool it looks like there's a liquid inside. Obviously it's using the accelorometer. Is it a live wallpaper or is it just included on the theme itself?
About the USB OTG. Can it detect any device that can connect to USB? Or it can only detect storage devices.
Does it include free document editor out of the box? Or do we have to pay for it just like we do on any multimedia dedicated nokia handset?
Any experience on how the screen looks live? Is it good or just ordinary? I know some of you already have a taste of this device, i'm hoping an answer from you guys.

[deleted post]Again price in the USA = 550$+50$ for the warranty=600$
price in europe= 490 Euro with warranty
price in middle east UAE exactly = 2200AED (derham) with warranty
So the expected price globally with warranty is between
380euro ~ 490euro ..., Thats the pre-order price , it should go down when launches at stores
Bye ..., Launch Date 14-9-2010

Anonymous, 04 Sep 2010@ igo. You'll regret. Nokia have dropped Symbian on their high-end smartphones. All future N-s... moreDude, nokia has not and can not possibly drop symbian on their high end smartphones. What they did is drop symbian on their nseries line up. All eseries mobiles would run symbian. Now unless your gonna tell me that eseries ain't highend. . .
Plus its really funny you guys who post dumb shit here about symbian dying and blah blah. Wake up and see the horizon. If there is anything symbian is doing now, its staging a comeback. S^4 is shipping q1 next year dude. 3 upgrades in a year. Does that smell like dying.

@ igo. You'll regret. Nokia have dropped Symbian on their high-end smartphones. All future N-series will run on Meego. SE x10 even hangs with 1 ghz and 384 MB ram. OKay go with what you want.
Wait check the newest meego os snaphots at my nokia blog .com just connect that words okay.

n8 must really be a cool phone, but i would prefer android, symbian just get through my nerves when their bugs strike. sooo, i prefer x10 even if i lose the camera, but n8 fans, dont get mad at me, im just sharing, cause nokia today releases phones with the same features, same OS, same everything exept for the look, but they differ very much in terms of price.. so i go for SE bec of that, another thing, nokia should learn to release other OS devices, they trust symbian too much.

@ malou-wang
Of course it has the qwerty with chinese characters. If you'll buy N8 outside China like in Asia-Pacific, you still need to change the language in the phone's settings. But I know there's already an N8 pre-order in a Chinese website. Just check GSMBLOG in this site and search N8 pre-order then get the information there. By that you'll get everything in Chinese characters. Hope it helps.
@ dom
Good for you and for the Singaporeans. I'm still waiting here in the Philippines. I think it'll arrive sooner or later. :))
@ anon
Haha. You made me laugh. N8 a piece of brick? How many raise their hands? POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR KIDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You better leave this site. Actually Motorola XT720 is the best example of piece of brick. A lot of useless spaces in front panel and back panel. I can also see screws! D*mn!
@ john.
Really iphone4? It is only popular in America but not in Asia and Europe. Alot of problems. Hardware reception issues.
Just to recall:
Main disadvantages
Hardware design is prone to reception issues
MicroSIM card support only
No Flash support in the web browser
No true multitasking for all applications
FaceTime video calls work only over Wi-Fi
No file transfer over Bluetooth or USB Mass Storage mode
No hardware shutter key for the camera
No FM radio
No stereo speakers
No microSD card slot
No smart dialing
Too dependent on iTunes for loading multimedia content
Poor loudspeaker performance
