Sumanan, 28 Apr 2010Any home can't beat the i-phone...also the iPhone 4G design is great though lack of FM is a drawback - 4G deals with non-textual high speed data transfer facilitating AV media - Apple should give a second thought to incorporating FM too.

Every person is different, but how many people said that this is ugly, and how many said it it NOT ugly. I think 70% said it is ugly, that is the problem. So, many people will not buy it. It is a great camera phone, with the camera I don't have problems, maybe it is better than the Satio. :)

Facts :
Smartphones VS multimedia/camphones
Choose the OS :
Samsung :
Omia HD : Symbian | camphone
galaxy : Android | Smartphone
SE :
Vivaz : Symbian | Camphone
Satio : Symbian | Camphone
X10 : Android | Smartphone
HTC :
Desire : Android | Smartphone
Nexus : Android | Smartphone
EVO : Android | Smartphone
Nokia :
N900 : Maemo | Smartphone
N8 : Symbian | Camphone
Fact : Manufacturers use symbian when building a camphone because of low background processing. If the N8 had MeeGo as OS it would fail recording 720p @ 25FPS.
When manuf. want to build a smartphone they dismiss symbian because of many things.
Result N8: Multimedia/Camphone. Becuase Nokia chose symbian and a very nice cam to put on.
Bottom of the story : Not comparable with smartphones.

- low screen resolution.
- TFT
- small app store.
- much smaller processor
- much less RAM and ROM
......
From what do this phone differ from the Omnia HD, satio or Vivaz? It has a better cam? You bet.

These times, Samsung is gorgeous for me. S8500Wave first to be release(June?) and I9000, I8520Beam M8920(maybe).
But very happy with the new Nokia N8. Finally Nokia makes a great new High-End model. Just a little later (2-3 months later Samsung S8500 or new I-Phone) but Nokia back in the battle !
N8 is really GREAT just despite by screen resolution (and NO Amoled)...

Whatever screen you put on it you can't take the resolution higher than that. That's why the N900 is the only one with higher resolution, it uses Maemo.
Symbian was designed with the old market in mind. They didn't expect the mobile phones to get so laptop. Fail.
That's one of the many reasons why symbian should be dropped. Go for MeeGo, Winmo, android. You don't have to have your own proprietary OS, look at the laptop market. Do each brand have their own OS? Imagine a world of proprietary OSs. It would really suck.

@Dawgert: 1.OLED display consume quite less energy than TFT
2.New OS has been optimized to low consumption.
3.Double RAM added is quite good to save battery.

Its really a nice fone, i want one. BUT, onli 640x360 display resolution, same as 5800 (which i still have), thats not good enough, after using N900 for a while i am convinced that the web must be browsed in landscape mode with a high vertical resolution (N900 is 800x480, 3.5 inch also). I would get Nexus One over N8, the higher display resolution is a very big advantage for comfortable web browsing.
But still need full flash support in the browser for both of them, until i see that happen the N900 is still the onli realistic alternative. So hows the hope for real flash on N8? I think Nexus one is the stronger candidate with its 512MB RAM, flash likes RAM!
I also searched up some 720P video recorded with N8, great picture and colors, but the dropped frames man! The hardware is not up to handling this resolution, same as N900, didnt Nokia learn that yet? My old N96 does better, its smooth and quite clear 640x480@30FPS. Whats the point of HD when its choppy? Thats is called a slide-show with sound, not video...
I will keep my eyes on this, maybe things improve with firmware revisions, but for sure it has too low resolution display, thats the biggest disadvantage here, everyone who used N900 or Nexus One know that 800x480 is MUCH better.

For anyone who already or will try to make this the superphone of the century :
ITS A MULTIMEDIA PHONE. or more like a cam phone.
So if you like cam phones, with nothing else inside it. buy it. If you don't make the cam a priority in the phone then buy anything else.
Comparing with 3GS, desire, nexus, X10, HD2, Galaxy S, Wave... IS QUITE SIMPLY STUPID. Because they fall in a different range.
This phone could be compared with : Vivaz, Omnia HD, Satio... The other cam phones in the market.
PS : Symbian really sucks. Please Nokia, drop it and I will consider buying a nokia.
