Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

Seriously,dude, what's wrong with people? Do they go along with the craze & call something smartphone? I don't think they claim without even knowing what it is!
You're lost? Lemme clear it out for you. In every Eid festival, I send sms to a lot of my friends & family. I type an sms, select multiple (around 200) numbers & hit the send button. Then I let the phone send it one by one while I leave it in my room. I even did it with the S40 phones (all 200 plus contacts together). But this year was different. I typed an sms, thought I'd send it to my friends & relatives, wishing them, but when I reached 11th contact in my SGS2, it DIDN'T LET ME do that. It didn't let me select anymore than 10 contacts at a time. HOW FUNNY!!! So, if I choose to send an sms to 200 people, it will let me do it in 20 times (WOW! What a waste of time). And they say that SGS2 is fastest responsive than any phones in the world at present & will not waste your time on response. Tell me, how much time will it waste on sending just 200 sms? I know for sure, if I'd let my N8 do the same, it would just take my time of selecting the contacts, then it'd do the rest for me.
One other thing, suppose, you're asked by me to go & grab a box from my car. I gave you the car keys to fetch it as the car is locked. Would you again ask me for my permission to unlock my car? Would you, after grabbing the box, leave the car unlocked for me to lock it again later? How dumb is that? Lost again? Let me clarify.
I was sending a file through BT from my SGS2 to my E72. I chose "send via BT" & even after that it asked me whether it'll switch it on or not!!! Then, after sending the file, it left the BT on for me to manually switch it off. I did the same with N8, it just switched on the BT by itself (as I chose "send via BT"), sent the file, then after finishing, switched off the BT itself. Now, I call THAT a smartphone. What kinda DUMBPHONE is SGS2? Come'n, I wasted my money on a dumb phone. Just I like it's computer speed.
Talking about the computer, last night, I connected my N8 with my 44" LED monitor throught HDMI, while my BT mouse was connected to it in BT & my USB keyboard was connected to my N8 through USBOTG. That, my friends, turned it into a PC (only missed the super fast speed of SGS2). Can ANY OF THE PHONES available in the market do that? Can any of the phones connect HDMI, USB & BT at the same time to turn your phone into a PC? I know some can, but they need the "DOCKING" to do that.
Pleasssssssssse, call N8 slow, but NEVER EVER call N8 dumb, ugly, waste of money. I used the "greatest android" (SGS2) & found it dumber than my N8. So leave your b*llsh*t with you & STFU!!!
Keep N8-ing.

After waiting so long for anna update gotta say I am disappointed by the bugs and lack of fluidity. Badly needs kinetic scrolling and the update messed up my music albums. The Os feels a little incomplete. Glad for the camera software update and portrait qwerty though. Nokia, please get it right the next time

I am not... moreGret man.. A Fair enough Analysis.
I liked Nokia due to there durability and passion for mobile technology to give a crafted device to the market.
But sorry !!!! now I myself after Using N73(200 MHz,64Mb ram) and now N8 never give a nokia smartphone advice to anybody.
It was never a case why Symbian is laggy, its simple,It can be rectified (as belle now).
The concern is WHY WHY WHY after paying a big amount for a device i get a under rated CPU and RAM.
Which just kills my N8. We literally don't know how many Updates our N8 can withstand...
I Love my N8, but not satishfied with Nokia(my SMARTPHONE is not FutureProof)
Njoy the N8...

As a true direct comparison the Apple iPhone 3G and the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic are evenly matched in terms of hardware specifications. But, in terms of actual performance the iPhone is streets ahead of the 5800. My own 5800 was an embarrassment next to my friends iPhone 3G and all thanks to S60 5th edition.

Symbian should have been abandoned a long time ago instead of Nokia trying to get it up to par with Apple OS and Android, which they have failed to do so far. Belle may be there final attempt to bring Symbian into the 21st century but ultimately it's irrelevant since their main focus is on WP 7.5 Mango.
All the best.
