AnonD-4340, 05 Nov 2011N8 is a 50cc scooter with lots of bells and whistles and stickers saying GTXi and MUGEN RACING... moreWrong comparison. N8 is like fully load bomber and N9 is like fighter. N8 is slower, but you can do much more with it.

        Ray Hipkiss, 05 Nov 2011@Dj Obviously the N9 is superior to the N8. It's got a better CPU, more RAM, a bigger scre... more I have to disagree with you on this one Ray. 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.

            You can safely hack it in 5 minutes now, I did it to my E51 and it should be even easier for N8.

                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)

                  Obviously the N9 is superior to the N8. It's got a better CPU, more RAM, a bigger screen and a better GPU.

                  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.

Suddenly I fell in love with it as this is exactly the way I would use it (no data plan, wi-fi, and I have free Facebook Zero anyway). 3-5 days? Awesome! And i like the software too, it's more serious and less "video game" than the other 3-4 operating systems... yeah, I'm 37 so that might be why I prefer it like this. :-) Thanks for posting this, now I just need a pile of cash, haha.
