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.

pooper, 30 Jul 2010I watched symbian^3 demos on youtube and it looks a lot slower and unresponsive than android o... moreYes i agree with you the symbian 3 is not a fast os it tends to lag and you can notice screen splitting issue in some of youtube videos,nokia and normal people can notice that and compare symbian 3 with andriod,iOS,and even bada and they will see how slow is symbian,other problem that people lieing about is that symbian does not need more processor speed and more ram while the truth is that symbian can not utilize faster processor and bigger ram,no one notice the first iphone was slow or first andriod phone was slow but by increasing the processor speed these phones become faster unlike the symbian which still slow.
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

I watched symbian^3 demos on youtube and it looks a lot slower and unresponsive than android or ios phones. Significantly slower! And that is a shame because the N8 has one of the most all-rounded hardware out of any smartphone on the market.
That and the release date makes me wonder if the N8 is even going to succeed or not.
