From what I have observed from some video clip previewing the Nokia N8, I found that the on screen volume settings can only be adjusted by tapping on the (+) and (-) buttons. This has got to be a joke right?
Isn't swiping to adjust music/video loudness the trend nowadays. Plus it is also more convenient. Nokia, please pay attention to this. Also regarding the default web browser. Seems like a lot of consumers are displeased with Nokia built-in webkit. Nokia, please change it to either Mozilla browser or Chrome as the default web browser. Or even better, create one which can outshine all the mentioned browser (if possible).
I also find that the capacitive screen can sometime be unresponsive. Nokia, you definitely have to look into this matter because it will leave a huge impact on user experience.
I will continue to provide feedbacks on fields which need to be improved. One thing I do like is the visual task manager. Really a deal breaker. My god, I believe N8 is the first to use something like that. One word, AWESOME. It's one of the most perfected task manager I have seen on a phone.

BTW, it won't kick many asses if the GUI is
sluggish, or as slow as N900's or if you compare it to other CPU+GPU phones,
sorry to say that to guys thinking it's a premiere :
see Vivaz and Omnia HD for example. That's why
Nokia better put in some good components.
Customer, i totally agree you.

If this phone fulfill all expectations it could actually be the nokia's IPHAZKIKR (Iphone azz kicker)

From my point of view, N8 should definitely get a RAM increase. 512MB would make it more convenient for us users. Flash support on web browser is a very welcomed feature, no doubt about it and the use of a powerful is also a welcomed add on. However, just 2 request.
1. Please change the default browser. Make it similar to those of N900 where many users reported satisfactory browsing experience.
2. Please allow pinch-to-zoom in ovi maps (really a killer app) and please improve the music quality of the N8 too, like what Nuwan has stated.
For the rest of the part, the N8 seems to be quite superior when compared to current smartphones running on iOS or Android. I think Nokia should compare N8's performance to those of Nexus One and iPhone so that they will be able to upgrade the N8 and improved it's overall performance.
The 12MP pictures produced by the N8 is simply astonishing. Even when viewed from my computer screen, it is simply GORGEOUS!! Two thumbs up for Nokia on that matter. Plus, with Qt and potting of other OSes apps, I believe the Ovi Store will become one of the hottest app store in the future, comparable or even exceeding apple's app store. =D

people who think nokia n8's processor is bad, well its not. it really is a great phone, it responds really quickly and symbiam have finally put up something worth buying.usually u will have to symbiam supported phones responding slow etc. but symbiam 3 is great i cant wait to check out the symbiam 4. Plus its auto-rotate sensor is so improved and the reaction time rreally is quick.
nokia has finally put up something worth the wait!
i think apple have been defeated this time by the nokia n8!!!!!!!!!

Niraj, 24 Jul 2010Hi Nuwan brother..!
Great to see you too want N8 ;)
this is also great for us who want N8 b... moreDear brother Niraj,
It's good to see you too brother... I'm still using my same old beloved 5530... (Are you...?) I Didn't want to change it after I saw this wonderful N8... I wish the Music quality test results for N8 will be competitive with those of Apple i-phone..
Apple i-phone is a good looking but less featured phone but it always delivered high quality Music whether Nokie lovers (like me) would like to accept or not.. I never felt jealous about i-phone's look or it's sophisticated transition effects... But I always felt jealous about it's music...! Though the Music in 5530 was absolutely great still GSMarena test results showed the i-phone's results were superior...
This time dear Nokia... We all want N8 to be superior than i-phone 4G... (Feature wise it already is superior...!) But we want it to be superior Music Quality wise too...!

Dear friends,
I'm also in the waiting list of Nokia N8 and already have fallen in love with it after watching introduction videos and specifications... I always loved Symbian OS... (Specially S60 V5) so I will definitely love this new Symbian 3 OS and I hope there will be enough software applications for our needs when N8 releases to the market..
I wish to see Symbian 3 with following improvements...
1) More sophisticated transition effects
2) Highly efficient memory management
3) Disabled certificate check
4) Page file (virtual memory) support
5) Smileys in SMS (I know it's silly but it's a ridiculous mistake you can see in previous Symbian S60 versions...!)
6) Kinetic scrolling in SMS (Threaded view would have been better)
7) More customizations for advanced users
I don't know whether I'll be gifted above things with Nokia N8... I just hope they would be included...!
Hardware wise, I would have been happy if I see followings.
1) 512 MB RAM
2) at least 1 GB ROM
3) at least 1 GHz processor
4) Thinner design (say about 10 mm)
5) High capacity battery (at least 1500 mAh)
However as Symbian OS is optimized for low hardware profile, above 1, 2 & 3 will not be a big deal... and 4 and 5 matters have problems with each other...! (When we want a higher capacity battery that obviously increases the thickness of the mobile...)
However with so many features and a new look.. with a award wining OS... I think N8 will be a revolution for the mobile phone market... More than anything... It's from our trusted NOKIA...! So we will not regret for a moment... (I have been using Nokia since few years and I'm indeed a hard user... I always install so many applications and take the maximum work out put from the mobile up to its limits...! So I know Nokia is doing greatly...)

the N8 dosnt have a 680 processor only
it has TWO
the strong one, process the graphics, which in short, nearly all the heavy stuff mobile does, and that processor defeats nearly all others at the current market, when it comes to producing triangles :P
the second processor does the rest of the lame stuff, like 4*4=16, which an old calculate can do.. and 680mhz is more than enough(i know i over simplified, but lets face it, apart from audio processing, there aint much work left :P, )
add to that its a symbian OS, which aint resource hungry
so now it boils down to how Nokia optimizes the hardware with the software, which aint that easy, and i feel they can alwayz do a better job at it(they usually rush that phase in other mobs), and depending on that and only that, we will see how smooth the N8 can be,
i know there is RAM paging etc, but i rrly hoped they used 512rams, just to make everyone happy and end the argument, i find it stupid to be cheap when it comes to ram, and that is the main reason they failed with many devices(especially N97)..
