                seems u r trying to build negative impression on n8.

                3 hours later u make another post as if u r making positive critics on n8 ???

HD games connected thru a RCA cable to the tv screen,but not able to get a full screen loaded,there r always 4 irritated black bars display on d tv screen,i.e left,right,top,bottom black bars,but i'm able to view full screen on n8,i had played with the setting of aspect ration either 'normal' or 'widescreen',pal or ntsc but still no avail.

                                      Nokia needs to address lots of things with PR2.0 update

                                      Here are some of them...

                                      -Keyboard is not multitouch

                                      -No portrait keyboard

                                      -Keyboard does not overlay/”hover” over an app, opens in it’s own new window instead

                                      -Built in Browser is not good

                                      -Homescreen does not follow the finger

                                      -Photo viewer lags on the first pinch-zoom gesture, no kinetic panning when zoomed it the picture, no bounce effect(on both max zoom in and out)

                                      -Does not rotate to landscape to both sides

                                      -Animations and transitions effects aren’t good/consistent across the UI

                                      -Needs 30FPS video recording, continuous auto-focus option

                                      -Menu(that opens with the hardware menu key) positions gets reset when you open/close the menu, you always open the menu from the root

                                      -Player does not remember the video position when you exit

                                      -Music player lacks lots of options previous Symbian phones had

                                      -No birthday imports from contacts into the calendar

                                      -FM transmitter should transmit all audio, there should be an option that you can select what it transmits, the same with line-out audio

                                      -Search - Is terrible, slow and useless, not to mention badly designed, The Search widget should display results as you type you shouldn’t have to first type something… then tap “Search”, then window opens up and it begins a slow search, it should search as you type and it should be the same system as the Dial pad search in S^3, it should make phone numbers, bookmarks, filenames, contact names, map favorites, everything in the phone, and it should be all displayed right there in front of you so you can tap on it quickly, not in some other window that opens after you enter what you’re searching for.

                                      -Default theme is terrible, the black background in Menus is ugly

                                      -Fix the "selection bug" - When you want to scroll through a list, wherever you touch and application or an item gets selected, "highlighted" first.
                                      Go to 0:32 in the video below to understand what I mean.
                                      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

                                      When you scroll nothing should get "highlighted" like in the iPhone. Android has similar problem to Nokia.
