    AnonD-10880, 06 Nov 2011Wrong comparison. N8 is like fully load bomber and N9 is like fighter. N8 is slower, but you ... more N8 is a bomber, N9 a fighter: good analogy. Guess I want the super fighter! lol

    At the end of the day, for me, faster hardware is always a plus....however, please don't take some features away, lessen others, and double the price!

    At this point I loathe the day I replace my N8.

          AnonD-27294, 06 Nov 2011hi Ray, Martin, Suhanoo and other users out here, I just got a doubt n wanted to share with ... more@ N8 and me

          SPB shell has been available for quite some time now and many people have wondered why Nokia didn't emulate SPB's UI in the first place. However, Symbian Belle is around the corner and many people who have flashed their N8's with the leaked version have nothing but good things to say about it.
          To me though, it's too little too late. I've already gone over to the dark side and got an Android phone after Nokia announced the death of Symbian by 2016. I've still got my N8 as a keepsake and to occasionally use it for watching videos via HDMI on my HD TV.

          All the best.

          Ray

              Thanks for your input but let's face it the N8 is lacking in the hardware department. The biggest drawback being it's low RAM count and slow CPU. I know people keep harping on that Symbian doesn't need a fast CPU or loads of RAM but, the N8 does show signs of strain now and then and there is a definite lag especially with kinetic scrolling.

              A lot of Android phones have got 1 GHz + CPU's but not all. The Galaxy Ace has only got an 800 MHz chip and the HTC Wildfire has got only 528 MHz of processing power to play with which proves that Android doesn't necessarily need high speed CPU's to run.

              Onto the missing features then. The FM transmitter is a useful function but because the power of the transmitter is so low the actual audio quality is terrible. There's nothing that can be done about this due to legal requirements.
              USB-on-the-go is also useful and would be missed, I'll agree. The 12 MP camera I wouldn't miss and would settle for 8 Mega pixels if it meant having a better CPU, more RAM and a better GPU.

              When the N8 finally gets Belle it still won't be a competitor to Android due to the distinct lack of third party developer interest. After all, it's still Symbian under the hood and many developers have already abandoned the platform with more to follow.

              All this is purely academic now because the N9 isn't being officially sold in my country anyway, so I won't be getting one.

              Best regards.

              Ray

                I thought it was common knowledge that the N9 is doomed to failure since it's release. To buy an N9 is to buy a dead platform.

                In future, if you want to disagree with me then kindly show some respect and watch the attitude.

                Thanks.

                  Ray, Martin, Suhanoo and other users out here, I just got a doubt n wanted to share with u.

                  1 day before I installed SPB Shell(free) from OVI on my N8. wat i observed?

                  1.The UI is super smooth and How Cool IT IS man.
                  2. HELL of a Customizable.
                  3.Contact n other SCROLLING is a breez like Samsung android bigies out there.
                  4.I liked the UI n showed off with my frens.

                  Now the doubt is Wat the F______ nokia is doing with Symbian. A thirdParty App can make this much change to exprience then Why Nokia can't.
                  Nokia u just Declared Symbian Dead n went on honeymoon with Windows who will take care of ur trusted Symbian users out here. We all have a best Piece of HardWare in our hand that also low RAM,low Processing And Nokia Who take there USers for Granted.
                  Thats why Samsung n Google Rocking everywhere.
                  Pls do share ur opinions.
                  Regards.

Just an increase in specifications doesn't mean instant superiority. They use different OSs for one, and the hardware dictates speeds and memory demands for another.
                            Symbian may not require the RAM and CPU speed to perform as well. Just as you must have much better specifications to run Android and Windows phones because the OS requires it to run efficently.
                            Though newer models running Symbian Belle have better specs it doesn't mean they really need them.
                            With Belle on the N8, even the UI will (finally!) be competitive as well with N9 and other smarts out there, looking You Tube and reading in the forums.
                            My other concern the proclaiming the N9 superior not only NO OS support, but it's a drop in features. No FM transmitter? No FM radio? No USB on the go? No SD card? Flash support? 12MP camera? Screen size is nice I guess but I like the N8s size as I can run it mostly with one hand. All this at double the price of the N8....really Ray?! I respectfully disagree. Thanks, Charles

                              Even iM using both android and n8 at the same time i still prefer n8. So do you think bada is better than android? I dont think so.

                                    camera of the N8 is ALOT better. not to mention the Xenon flash.

                                    i have the N8, but im not planning to upgrade to the N9, since many features are missing(sadly). such as swype, whatsapp joikespot .. dlna(play to) or HDMI out. fm transmitter. google latitude(gmaps)..
                                    just naming a few of the stuff that "i" use..
                                    not to mention the insane price difference(N8 costs half as much)

                                      However, that being said there is no official after market support for MeeGo but there is for Symbian so you would be buying into a dead platform if you got the N9.
