Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

You can't compare n8 to the i phone. The i phone is a grossly over priced feature phone. the n8 is a but whipping cheap ass smart phone. They are just not in the same league. The iphone os is comparable to nokia s40 os. Its made to fit the below average user who just wants a phone to take descent pics, listen to music, make calls and send texts (and who is also gullible enough to be brain washed into paying such a high price for what can be best described as the perfect piece of crap. No seriously. Wtf. Video calling only over wifi? Thats so 2003)
Symbian is for users like myself who want the extra in the phone. I mean a symbian smart phone is like a pc in your pocket. It does it all.
The transition from a feature phone to a smart phone is not something that can be done over night. If you're the average user, i recommend you go for the samsung pixon cuz symbian is gonna disappoint you. I mean sometimes my music plaYER crashes lol (though you shouldn't expect that in symbian ^3 as nokia has promised a more stable and snappy ui and nokia always delivers). However i still maintain that a smartphone is the best buy. I for one can't live without descent multitasking and the ability to customize virtually everything about my phone. And the apps and games. . . Man! The games! I'm talking HD! I can't trade a tad snappier and more stable ui for all that symbian goodness. I mean s40 makes me want to puke.
No rational human being would buy the i phone. Its grossly over priced. Even if symbian is not your thing samsung has a lot of bad ass feature phone with a lot more to top the i phone than just video calling at a lesser price. People buy i phones either because its american or because they wan't to blend in. (don't say its because of the apps cuz symbian has lots of emulators to run iphone and even android apps. Yep thats symbian! Does it all). Enough with the crowd mentality.

The Rumours about the N9 being one of Nokias Top End mobile puts alittle dim on the N8,but if Nokia do the same mistake again like they did with the N900,make it to Bulky for People,o.k the N900 software was very good but the Trend with mobiles nowdays if having them nice an slim to fit in shirt or Jeans pockets an not sticking out to much ,but Nokia made the Big mistake making the N900 to Bulky,if the C7 images we have seen are Genuine images,then Nokia must have some new designers at last as even the N8 shows they are back making slimmer mobiles not Bulky ones an hope they keep this trend going on now at Nokia

Dont get me wrong , I like the Iphone even the 3GS. But I cant afford the iphone bcause its totally not as multipurpose as my N82, why? I pay 1/4 of an iphone 3gs for 5Mp camerra, GPU (yes N82 has GPU!!!) , dual processor, mem card upgradable. And if my n82 ( a 2007 model!!!) can beat the iphone specs .... n8 will kick the iphone 5 in the head.... (iphone 4 uses its video call via wifi to iphone only WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP OFFFFF!!!!!). I would buy a 2nd hand iphone tho hahaha

Dont cry Ali, 10 Jun 2010Do you know what 1 ghz is? its 1000 mhz.. even if you over clock it at 850mhz (if that's possi... moreAhem... I don't think 1Ghz is 1000mhz my fren.
1Ghz is around 1024mhz... apparently you are not a novice in IT.
Btw I don't think Nokia N8 is slow at all.
And it have much much more features than those phones that you mentioned.
If you don't like N8 is ok. Just grab whatever phone you like and be happy about it.
We Nokia N8 lovers will definitely get one and be so happy about it. :)

And i don't think any gal will just impress/fall for a guy with a superb phone.
This phone is meant to entertain me and myself and not for others. It will definitely be a great help for others though.

EdB, 11 Jun 2010The only thing 12mp does is produce poster-sized photos. Who wants that? You'll have clearer &... moreMore mp camera phone is much better in many way.
Let me give u some scenarios.
1. If one day you saw a car speeding and hit a person and attempt to runaway. But u didn't have a dedicated camera with you. But aha! my 12 mp camera phone is here.
snap snap.. wow the car speed away... but the photo capture the number plate. But its so small... thank God this is a 12 mp and big sensor camera phone. wow after zoom in i still get so much details in it wow.. amazing. I can send this to police officer after i call the ambulance using this 12 mp camera phone of mine.. Thank God i bought this. :)
2. Wow... today i saw Angelina Jolie and she agree to take a photo with me! i didn't have my dedicated camera with me again!!! sigh.. oh i have my 12 mp camera phone! ok lets snap a few photo with her.
Wow the quality is great! I can print out a poster size photo and paste it in my house!!
I will resize it to a pocket photo and keep it in my wallet to show off too.
Thank God i didn't buy a 3 or 5mp camera phone.. else i won't be able to print a photo that large. :)
Do you want more? The possibilities are infinity here :)

nokia S-series, 11 Jun 2010*sory for my eng* however, i dun think so n9 will be the new flagship..maybe the new streaming... more"i think",
that the N9 will be the "top" nokia device 2010...
the S series are High-end symbian^3 nokia... i dont think they will beat the N9 spec/os wise, but remember the N900 didnt sell that much... so they might be thinking to depend on the S-series for high end competition...
just saying...

EdB, 11 Jun 2010The only thing 12mp does is produce poster-sized photos. Who wants that? You'll have clearer &... moreLOL basic knowledge says the more the better right? Besides tell me this what would you want since we're talking about mp's and stuff, a 12mp phone with a low price or a 5mp phone with ridiculously high price?
It's like you're saying 'why the does the iPhone 4 have such a pixel dense display when the Galaxy S's is good enough?'. Who wants 12mp on a phone?? I DO.

The larger the pixel count, the better the clarity of the picture when it is compressed.
So, for example, if you compress a 12mp picture, the resulting picture would have almost perfect clarity.

The only thing 12mp does is produce poster-sized photos. Who wants that? You'll have clearer & more usable shots with a fraction of the mps. Even the 5mps on my N82 produce shots that are too large.

DivX and .mkv support have been confirmed for this phone.
GSMArena should add them to the spec list

I live in a remote rural setting and this phone out performs most phones (esp. new little ones ) as it has awsome reception. I can get a signal where no other phone can.
