But in reality, do you need that type of resolution on a display? The only real reason I would want the retina display for the N8 is because the photos would look amazing on it.

Lets hope that the N8 isn't a disappointment like the N97. That was the worst phone I have ever owned! I'm already disappointed on how the N8 still uses the same widgets like the N97.
They need to push symbian^4 or moved to android!
I would love to see a Nokia version of android. With Andorid store + Ovi store, ovi maps + google maps. Ovi maps really sucks here in the US.

The colors are great, the brightness is ok but the pixel resolution is a cheat. It doesn't have true 800x600 resolution and the sharpness of the iphone4 display is clearly better.
Since this is about N8 I suspect that the display will have regular RGB pixel arrangement which almost give it the same effective resolution as Galaxy S becuse this strange PenTile pixel arrangement. Now, if I buy a Nokia N8 I will probably not downgrade too much when it comes to sharpness of the display.
Nokia N8 despite its less powerful hardware seems to be more versatile and you can just do more with it, that's why this phone still appeal to me.

Nerf, 21 Jul 2010Does anybody know if the N8 display has a PenTime Matrix?
PenTile tech is described here:
... morei am not sure that you really own samsung galaxy S,because it has the best screen in the market ,the super amoled has the best contrast,the best black color,you have to see the s amoled by your naked eyes not through LCD screen.
and for this pixel stuff and resolution stuff :the samung galaxy has 480x800 pixels while the iphone 4 has 640x960 but when holding both phones from a normal distance you will not see any difference in the sharpness but you will notes that the super amoled screen can not beaten :
check this link for comparison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0BMBiYEKVE&feature=related
by the way i own samsung wave which has the same super amoled screen and the first thing people say when they see my phone: oh my god what a beautiful screen ;)

It's been so long since nokia announced N8 and it may be available only at the end of next month. I'm not complaining though. I actually like how Nokia do their business. Instead of rushing their phones from the factory they actually take time just to make sure everything works fine. It makes the wait worthwhile.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S which has a PenTile display which is not true 800x600, more like according to the article 392x653. This gives it that jagged look at high contrast fringes which I find irritating.
I suspect that the display is similar to the one in Samsung Omnia HD which has the same resolution. Can anybody tell if that display has the same jagginess artifacts as Nexus one and Galaxy S.

If we have to wait till October for the Release of the N8,this will just show Why? Nokia is not Up-To-Date in the Mobile Market,an how can it take so long for a mobile to be produced by Nokia,They are going to lose out again as more Up-to-date mobiles will be Released about the same time as its not far of xmas,How are Nokia Progressing nowdays Shocks Everyone,so Slow to react to the TouchScreen Demands an thought normal handsets would be more demanding,but got it All Wrong Again,We used to Top Class Mobiles nearly Every Month but now all they release is the Budget Mobiles,an losing Touch,they must have known about the new iPhone4 an it release it date but did we get a mobile from Nokia to Challenge it,No-the N8 4 months after, so does that just shows whats Wrong at Nokia,an its Shocking whats going on at Nokia nowdays,too Slow All the Time an not showing an Progress at All
