Suhanoo, 23 Oct 2011This is the difference between Nokia Fanboys & Android fanboys. You'll remember I posted a... morei had android for 11 months and hate it more all the time. But Androids shortcomings doesnt make N8 a good fone. N900 has till now been the only good Nokia, and finally now N9 is available, and thats what im buying as soon as the 64GB version is in stock here again.
Anyway, lets not blame Android for shortcomings found on some Samsung (and HTC). AS you mention with the SGS2 and mass storage, thats not a problem for android but for samsung. And the lagging and poor multitasking on HTC is caused by HTC Sense, and not by Android. Sony Ericsson Android fones actually work quite well.
Androids native problem is that its too rough and unpolished, no manufacturer has tried to adress the bugs and problems, they are too busy shoveling out new versions and new functionality, this way Android will never be completed, it will always stay in Beta.

This is the difference between Nokia Fanboys & Android fanboys. You'll remember I posted a comparison on S2 & N8 here. You'll note that I pulled out both pros & cons of both the phones. Nokia page still have it. And people are even thanking me for putting an unbiased review (where N8 came lower than S2 most of the time). I put the same review in S2 page & guess what, it is not there anymore. Maybe they have reported it & made it delete as I said cons about S2. I feel sorry for them. Nokia lovers are accepting the facts, but Android lovers are arogant and they even don't wanna hear anything bad about their android (maybe because they know Android can never beat Symbian). Seriously, Androids are small PDAs with calling facilities, but they can never ever become a phone. Believe me, after this post a few Android fanboys will start arguing to prove some stupidity.
Take care.

AnonD-27294, 22 Oct 2011hi, suhanoo u have given a unbiased comparision. Great job.
I would like to add something mor... moreThank you for the compliment. I would also like to add a few more lines. People say that S2 can play any file formats for video, but it can't. I gave it .dat file, but it couldn't play. It also failed to play some other file format, I don't remember which one. One other thing, I can't connect my S2 with the PC in Mass Storage mode (it doesn't have any). But maybe I'll need to download third party software for that. But that is where my problem lies. Why would I need to download simple basic softwares? Then why do Android fanboys keep on complaining about N9's shortcomings? Please Android fanboys, answer.
Take care.

AnonD-27315, 23 Oct 2011hii every1.....m goin to buy a phone and m confused bw N8 nd 701......pls help me out..It depends on what you want in a phone, the N8 packs the most functions and features in a phone, the 701 will come with great OS to start with.
N8 comes with 680Mhz Processor,12MP camera ,HDMI,16GB Storage, will later get Belle OS but not now.
whereas
701 1Ghz Processor ,8MP camera,no HDMI,8GB, slightly better battery life and Belle OS,

AnonD-1782, 22 Oct 2011Thanks a lot Ray... I guess for the N8 , its best to use fresh memory card or reformatted memo... more It's best to use the phone to format the memory card to ensure full compatibility.
Also, it's best to use the memory card for storing media files rather than installing apps. Use the onboard 16 GB storage for apps.

Suhanoo, 22 Oct 2011I have been using Samsung Galaxy S2 from last 5 days. You also know that I have an N8. Keep it... morehi, suhanoo u have given a unbiased comparision. Great job.
I would like to add something more.
1.N8 battery far far far exceeds S2.
U have the Fun of S2 when u see it with more than 50% brightness and Live Wallpapers switched on. BUT U CANT NJOY THE SAME BECOZ U WILL BE ALWAYS IN A HURRY TO SAVE UR BATTERY.
2.Wining factor of S2 is its BEST screen and VIDEO SUPPORT which plays EVERYTHING, N8 can't.
3.U pay 200$ more, than N8, to get all these features.
4.in case of Video recording I will differ from u , IF U OBSERVE the Videos in PC then 720p of N8 looks more lively and crisp than 1080p of S2.
N8 - a portable reliable SMART-DEVICE.
Keep N8ing...
