Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

[deleted post]CPU is just fine, remember the good ol' N95, only 64MB of RAM and and half the processing power of the N8.
I think Nokia made a fair assessment whether to have an over-sized CPU or something more reasonable and battery-saving. Being a Nokia user I have a good feeling that the CPU and RAM size are quite adequate considering my good ol' N95 can run both the latest Ngage games and The latest Ovi maps without a problem.
Lets wait and see.

HTC HD2 Qualcomm QSD8250 1 GHz ARM8
HTC HD - Qualcomm MSM7201 528MHz ARM11
Test 1 - > Benchmark tests of the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor reportedly clocked in at least a 300 percent improvement over the Touch HD
Test 2 - > Another test showed an improvement of 1,822 percent between this and Nvidia's Tegra processor.
Now N8 is again based on ARM11 so we can expect N8 to be 300% slower than X10 but again GPU will help. But how much can GPU help CPU?

[deleted post]The latest known hardware requirements for Android are:
32MB RAM
200MHz Online Processor
Minimum Symbian Requirements for Low Tier Devices
32-64MB RAM Higher than Android
250 Mhz Higher than Android
While devices built with ARM 11 needs
64 MB
399-528 MHz
If you see above figures, N8 is only 150MHz above minimum required as it uses ARM11 architecture. So itself proves processor used in N8 is one which just works.

The N8 might be the last Symbian mobile, if the N8 turns out to be a waste of time like the N97,as Nokia since the N95 have been more bothered an Services an no Innovations in the Mobile Market,an its there own big mistake at Nokia,an there Sales an Shares will decline faster,so the company might end up like Sony ericcson down in the dumps,Nokia let the N900 down making it to Bulky an the Sales were there own fault as people want mobiles pocket type not Brick type sticking out in pockets,but the software seemed o.k on the N900,so why didn"t Nokia make the N8 with the same software as the N900 one,Mobile-Review.com can"t understand whats going on at Nokia an does not rate the N8 at All,so just dying to see the First Full Review of the N8 an will it live up to its expectations or be another let down from Nokia,an seen no news how good Symbian^3 is yet from nobody yet

[deleted post]Mark & Tom,
Point 1. X10 processor is way better than N8.
Reasons-
1. 1 GHz vs 680MHz. Whopping 32% lesser than X10.
2. A8 architecture of X10 processor Vs A11 of N8. It has been already proved that A8 is far better than A11.
Second Point GPU will offload CPU for N8. Thats not quite true.
1. GPU will come in picture for only multimedia contents and here it will offload and I agree.
2. GPU will not do any processing when we have to do normal operations as in read messages, go directly to the bottom of message, search the device. The device will solely be dependent on CPU.
Third Point SE do not have GPU while N8 has.
1. Having a GPU is always better. GPU offloads the CPU from 2D/3D operations.
Fourth Point GPU is dangerous.
1. Reason being all operations need to be through CPU so what task needs to be offloaded and what not still needs to be decided by CPU. And hence the decision time could be a lag.
FPS & GPU
Its not only GPU that decides frame rate, it is combination of CPU and GPU. Open task manager and click on below link

@Tom Please buddy, we don't want to hear about your outdated brick :-) People come here to talk and hear about the N8 and not Alcatel, SE or some other small role player. You are posting to the WRONG forum ! You are inadvertly helping with the N8's popularity by increasing the post count !

Looks like a good phone, but it has no video light. A Led added to the Xenon flash would have been great. So won't buy one, probably will get a Wave instead.

Nice to see this cell has bluetooth 3.0 Huh, finally :-) now I can copy movie files to my computer without taking the cell out of my pocket. And all that will happen in a flash.
