I have to said the best nokia device ever or I should say symbian because n900 it's a beast but beside that very good phone and hardware I hope the phone fill all our expectatives ., & my opinon I think it's gonna be a good seller the videos that I had seen looks very promissing and cool , the usability and the speed shows that the phone does it's job pretty well and now with open source the apps are gonna be awesome,like games,and there is a lot web sites were you can download mp3,mp4,themes,movies,games and more., so for me it's just one tingh that's killing me the wait time, please nokia release it now and one point that I want to mention about android #%€¥> people please it's so boring dumb apps just like the fruity cell phone some of them are cool the rest it's crap the best thing on google os it's htc sence and flash 10.1 and still working only only on nexus one I have try many android device and trust me guys nothing so wonderful about it the only diference with symbian was speed because the CPU of some nokia device but now with the new and fresh S'3 that belongs to the past and symbian 4 it's gonna be even better with stringers CPU,gpu,new amoleds higher resolution screen eye candy devices and since nokia has java support we don't need to hack our device to download something and flash player 10 it's coming to symbian so were's the big diference and I'm sorry if coment it's to long but sone blinde people needs to read these., bye people long live to the nokia and the new symbian 3,4 and all those who has to come

What is this unnecessary argument between Symbian lovers and Android lovers...? There could be people who like Symbian OS over Android and there could be people who like Android over Symbian... We can argue forever which is better... But that wouldn't produce a winner...
Just look at PC Operating Systems... Some people like Windows, Some like Mac and Some others like Linux... and each category can argue that their preference is reasonable over others... How can it be possible...? We all got our own desires, thoughts and preferences... When a person likes Symbian that's not for the same reasons that another person likes Android...! So there can't be any comparison what so ever... (That's really unfair...!)
Symbian was, has been the most popular smart Mobile OS so far... and It still is... And Android is getting popular over recent two, three years... We never know... May be people will change their preference from Symbian to Android or vice versa... But we have to understand... It's just what they want... Not the Best... If we ever think, what we want is the best and all others should also go for that... That's ridiculous...
However if we are going to start a conversation, comparing the features of both OS, just for the sole ambition of improving them.. Then that's very good thing.. Why don't we just start something like that...? (Just in case if Nokia would ever listen to what we say, then they will try their best to improve Symbian 3 as per our needs...!)
Am I correct brothers/sisters...?

Anonymous, 30 Jul 2010I think the N8 performing great in the video. Have you personally hands on tested N8 yet? El... morei think the wave you have used is having an old firmware .you can check gsmarena review and youtube videos .the wave can multitask easily even it multitasks java applications,with no memory issues,and for the video recording it looks so real with awsome sound quality,you should check another device to be a fair man

Watch the video.. In around the 4th or 5th minute I suppose you would find that when he scrolls through the webpage, zooms in and the out.. thats when u will see it. The CHECKERBOARD EFFECT .. Black and white boxes.. U wont find thsi happenin in Samsung Galaxy or wave..
By the way.. I am a Nokia Addict and just hate other brands.

Anonymous, 30 Jul 2010Yes i agree with you the symbian 3 is not a fast os it tends to lag and you can notice screen ... moreI doubt you've ever used a nokia symbian smartphone before. You android people seen to be getting too settled on the argument that symbian is slow and stuff like that. So hear now and once.
Symbian is by no standards slow. Not compared to android, ios or any other. There is a difference between not as fast and slow. A bud of mind uses a htc hero. Its not much faster than my n95 8gb when i use the default theme. The less speed is even not as a result of processor or anything but rather os design. Transition effects and animations on symbian^1 are slower than on android. Not because symbian devices are underpowered but because they are meant to be. I'm sure it was really cool when it was first implemented.
And yes, symbian doesn't need a 1ghz processor. The places you could possibly notice a higher processor than the one it was designed to use optimally in a mobile are in its battery life, radiated heat and just maybe when carrying out certain very few processor whacking operations for example when saving a recorded video or zipping very large files.

Have you personally hands on tested N8 yet?
Else how can you be so sure that N8 is slow?
I personally tested WAVE at the Samsung flagship shop. The multi-task is so unstable that it give "out of memory" error with just 6 apps. Then it can't even allowed me to close the apps through the multi-tasker.
I tested the video recording function. The recorded sound quality was total disaster.
LED light is not helping at all.
Galaxy S don't even have a single LED flash.
What is it for to have so many home screens when the widget are mostly big in size and one home screen can only accommodate not more than 3 widgets?????
I don't even want to talk about IOS simply because it is not even worth to mention here.
So what if Bada, Android and IOS is SUPER FAST???
With all these flaws..... one word USELESS.
I still will give N8 and Symbian 3 a chance.
Since it is the most matured compared to all the lousy crappy so called OS mentioned by you.

some people here are bashing samsung galaxy because it is made of plastic as if nokia never produced a plastic phones or as nokia stopped doing so.
and for the one who said that he can not show his galaxy because it is made of plastic,i advice him to check the super amoled screen in a near by samsung dealer and he will know that no other phone can be showed in the presence of galaxy except the samsung wave.

pooper, 30 Jul 2010I watched symbian^3 demos on youtube and it looks a lot slower and unresponsive than android o... moreI watched it also. Not slow this was a demonstration of the FEATURES not the responsiveness. Long story short I had to use my "OLD" 6680 to complete this phone contract. It almost identical in weight the N8 is thinner which shows you what 5 years & Nokia can do. The 6680 cpu is 220 Mhz and I can d/load maps, multi task. Both the N97 & N86 are 434Mhz. Where the N8 excels is the 10.2/2.0 3G+ speeds, 6680 384
this is a near perfect touch screen phone as phone goes.
It makes you wonder what next? I personally would have been happy with 8mp as I sent some 20 photos using 2 emails (10 per email) due zip attachment beig too large that only 3.2mp camera phone
