Dev, 05 Jun 2010You gonna a newbie about Symbian OS. This is the custom firmware on Omnia HD highly optimized ... moreThe answer about out of the box products is the manufacturer has to opt for the best speed and battery performance plus 98% of buyers of these smart/superfones are the normal joe bloggs off the street with intent of just using it as a fone...Its the 2% who are into this modding and use a smartfone to its full potential..This hyper x is doing so well with the i8910hd that i think its saved samsung the bother of issuing any more updates,,if they were going to release anymore updates anyway??
I know that people who have had 42 open apps running of n82 with no slowdown but thats RAM not cpu/gpu specs,,just wish people who complain know more about how things work computer wise before shouting off about cpu speed..What do they need 1GHz for really and they give no reply,,surly your better off with plenty of ram and a gpu to render textures and graphics than a blazing fast cpu thats just depleting your battery..

Modders owning Omnia HD are busy porting Nokias Symbian homescreen to their devices. In short Touch Wiz sucks.

Anonymous, 05 Jun 2010sure 54% faster than Omnia HD? look this!: http://hx-custom-roms.com/?p=1862You gonna a newbie about Symbian OS. This is the custom firmware on Omnia HD highly optimized for speed, cook such daily. With these type of firmwares, even the N97 turns out to be 1000+. What one want is this type of performance out of the box. I am sure if we able to port speed optimized firmwares to N8, it shall score 2500+ on Speedy Go benchmarks.

@ Mark.
That's some sweet looking headset.
N8 gaming performance. Finestfones benchmarks used an app specifically designed for Symbian OS's called "Speed Go!" which uses the phone accelerometer which has a speed test utility which tests overall speed of the phone.
They say using "Speed Go!" N8 scored 180% higher over the N97, & 54% over the Omnia HD. "Speed Go!" was tested on N8 with 10 widgets running on homescreen, 5 on first homsecreen, 5 on second homescreen, none on the third. The N8 scored 777 in that test. It's still prototype.
The benchmarks FPC 3d Bench is apparently limited to 60FPS, so Using FPC Bench 3D to test N8 Graphics performance, it maxed out with a score of 60FPS in each test.
Some people would like to know to see benchmarks on the USB 3.0 transfer rate, both wired and wireless. Also USB2go, specifically viewing 720p files on a thumbdrive being connected to a HDTV with n8 as host.
Also a desciption of how bad is the OLED screen in sunlight, some have heard it's really bad, but could be a bad rumour. Some pictures taken in the dark would be nice aswell.

Nokia BH-905, 05 Jun 2010Nokia BH-905 Review after using for 3 months Having used many headphones, couple of Bluetoo... moreNot sure if BH will ever be a part of sales package in compared to low cost phone, I meant N8 is quite cheap considering features it has to offer.

I recently bought newly arrived 5235 for my little bro and got same headset in package. Output is very packaging. I guess same is being shipped with high end music phones like X6 and its 16 GB variant.

I'm guessing like 1 or 2 months after Android 2.1 is released, since Sony Ericsson doesn't have to redo much about TimeScape and MediaScape and the rest of it's UI from 2.1 to 2.2, since 2.1 and 2.2 is 99% the same.
So they can just change some few codes and port over to 2.2 easily.
That's what i think will happen. But ofc, that might not happen though.

N8, 05 Jun 2010Oh sorry my mistake.
X10 will support flash in the browser when it gets 2.2
