Nokia N8:
16 GB internal storage.

Sony Ericsson X10:
1 GB storage
Card slot: microSD, up to 32GB, 8GB card included

That's right, less memory on the X10 for a more expensive phone. Go figure that one out. I guess more profit for Sony Ericsson makes them the winner here.

Whoever that affected must be fuming and will probably punch the company's directors in the face if given the chance. I never knew they were that bad. Luckily for me, I have no problems with all my nokia phones. Just got an e72 yesterday and updated to the latest firmware with no problems. However people seem to be complaining about theirs. I had trouble with the email but that's because you have to first set it up using the operator's network and not wifi

      Nokia N8 with 5 band 3G giving you more choices of carrier you want to go with, and better roaming, when you travel to other countries.

      X10 gives you 4 bands. Snicker.

      Nokia N8 is a World phone.

      From the X10 specs:
      3G Network

      HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100
      HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800 - X10a for Americas

      Make sure when you buy the X10, you get it for your region. Don't have to worry about that with the N8. :D

        Thanks for your advice Tom-Helge. I've thought about it, and looked at the specs and features for both devices. You made a good argument, but I've decided to get Nokia N8 instead.

          [deleted post]I might not know much about Nokia N8, but this guy here knows pretty well what he's talking about: http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/05/03/interview-with-eldar-murtazin-part-1-nokia-n8-leak-market-prospects-and-symbian3/

          And this is what i have been doing for a long time here now, giving you links with some explanations / facts and so on FROM GUYS THAT KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

          Now, how are you gonna explain that what the main guy for Mobile-Review web page are saying are lies?.

          That guy have tried that phone out now, and i believe his words 605758946792 times more than anyone else in here.

          Believing in Nokia 100% is something that i would never do when you see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJpEuMidcSU&feature=player_embedded

          How do you explain that.

          Nokia told us all that the UI effects and everything there would be super smooth and fast.

          But what did happen?. Yup, they lied to us.

            N8 is a threat, or Tom would not be here. He would say who cares about that phone, and not be posting here day in and day out.

            A huge number of people are interested in this phone, and it will out sell ANY Sony Ericsson device by a wide margin, simply because Nokia has a much greater mindshare in this world then them.

            I personally cannot wait for the N8, simply because of it's nice well rounded set of great features for the price.

            I do not care that it's CPU is not the most powerful. In short time, the X10's CPU will not be the most powerful, as another phone will come out beating that. Does that make that phone crap all of a sudden. Of course not.

              They can't call the phone for high-end then.

              Anyways, enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJpEuMidcSU&feature=player_embedded

              Lets see how smooth the Nokia N8 is really getting in the real world after it's released.

                    [deleted post]snap dragon 1ghz has to take care of the UI smoothness and process programs IN THE SAME time

                    the 680mhz in the N8 only has to process programs... not to mention that the Symbain is already a lighter OS... 680mhz isnt slow either... ontop of all of that, you can overclock it to 840mhz easy.. using patches or maybe new firmwares by Nokia..

                    N8= more flexibility

                                        android is not the best yet.u can look into every android phone in gsmarena and u will find it the fact that android mobile phone doesnt support TV-OUT.
                                        and it is very rare to find one with radio,or FM transm
                                        TV-out is HW not OS.u cant fix it with update or later future OS.
                                        so android phone is not the best yet.
                                        the X10 tom very adore comes with no TV-OUT and radio.
                                        if u want to make it work with tv u will have to buy another device like the bluetooth media sharing and it will cost u around $100.
                                        N8 is not a highend phone from nokia its target for the people who willing to spend $350 - $450 for a phone.and if u can see the posibility for using this device as an all around device than it will be gud 4 u.
                                        X10 or samsung GS is highend device,N8 is not.until now nokia still dont have any highend device for touchphone arena.
                                        N8 will battle with samsung wave.
                                        so it is not fair to compare X10 with N8.
                                        the 1200 battery is enough,bcause N8 using amoled screen so it will save u some juice than the X10 TFT screen.dont forget that N8 have GPU so the CPU will not stress out to run the phone.
                                        tom X10 may be have a better GPU but it will be useless if u can't plug it into TV or projector for presentation.
                                        or u tom prefere to have a presentation using ur 4inch screen?
                                        so until today im still thinking that N8 will be the best buy,dont worry bout speed u can be sure it is fast cause N8 capable to handle 15apps open.
                                        sym 3 have swapfile system like windows virtual memory.
                                        after many research im not really interesting with other phone this year.but N8 sure to pack alot of stuff and when nokia decided the N8 will sell for 370+tax it is feel fair enough for my wallet.
                                        -tvout will make ur phone a walking home teater
                                        -dolby sound?just plugin to ur homesound system
                                        -a ready device for presentation at office anytime
                                        -yes u still have that old radio so u can update news on the street around u.
                                        -1200mh battery its oke u have amoled screen not the TFT hungry of battery juice.
                                        -its a capasitive touchscreen but it has support for handwriting recognition,so it has a cap stylus,i think we can still be able to draw just like in resitive handset.
                                        -dont forget u will have USB OTG with N8.
                                        i think with so many new features and some features that u will not found in other phone,and dont forget the price is oke for common people wallet,yes nokia N8 will sell like peanuts.
                                        dont listen to android user they dont have TV-out or HDMI.all they can boast is bout snapdragon things.yes a fast CPU but only for 4inch screen only?
                                        with N8 low clock CPU and 3,5inch screen u can transfer picture to big TV screen.
                                        so compare the capability carefully before u choose ur next future phone.
                                        dont listen to the haters club.im not really like nokia,im not SE enemy,or motorola,samsung,HTC,apple hater.
                                        im just a common phone user.
