Rajesh, 27 Jan 2011Hi N8 friends, I am confused and need you all to help me solve the questionaire about N8. O... moreThe cable provided is used as an adapter only. You must have your own HDMI cable in order to connect N8 with your HDTV.

Rajesh, 27 Jan 2011Hi N8 friends, I am confused and need you all to help me solve the questionaire about N8.
O... moreHi Rajesh, let me see if can calrify some of your questions. The Hdmi cable provided is an adaptor, not the cable itself, it´s to connect the HDMI cable (of your tv) to the usb jack on the phone.
About the 1080p movies I haven´t tried yet so I donn´t know.
About the resolution I guess it has to do with compatibility issues with previous symbian devices (just gessing), I also read that it´s a resolution that fits better media content (I´m not sure). Anyway I can garantee that you won´t notice the diference between a higher resolution screen. The screen is gorgeous by the way and very sensitive, it´s true that samsung introduced the technology a few years ago, but Nokia´s treatment of the screen is excellent.
I just got my n8 two weeks ago, but I did a lot of research before buying it, and let me tell you that it´s an amazing phone, it´s giving me more than what I expected. No lagas, no hangs, excellent performance.
Great gaming experience (I didn´t buy the phone for games, but it turned out that I´m having a great time playing games on the phone), and many of these great games are free!
About the real shortcommings of the n8 (web browser, social integration, etc) in this forum or other sites you will have options (apps) to improve your phone (easily and for free).
What´s also great it´s that with nokia in charge of Symbian you know that your phone will be updated for a long time, even with a new UI (formely known as symbian 4). I think it´s the only phone right now that won´t be outdated in the near future, cause when you buy an android, you´ll never know what update policy X brand will have for your device.
To sum up, I relly recommend this phone!

Hi N8 friends, I am confused and need you all to help me solve the questionaire about N8.
One thing I know for sure is N8 has almost a best camera for still imaging. For video I would rate it 8/10.
Today I went and had a second look at Nokia N8 in the Nokia showroom. Now I am a confused person as s0 much talk about N8 which has made me inquisitive about its best features.
It has a HDMI output which is a feature Nokia is a first company to bring it to mobile market. But why has Nokia provided such a small 4 inch cable to connect to a TV. How are you supposed to reach a TV through such a short cable. Do you have to stand beside the TV and hold the N8 in your hand and try to peep on the material N8 is transmiting on TV. Funny.
HDMI in is found only on HDTV. which means N8 is supposed to be able to play HD videos. But when I tried a HD video on N8 it got stuck and it could only manage to play normal lower DVD resolutions only.
Amoled Capacitive screen was introduced by Samsung a year ago.
N8 is only stuck with 360 x 480 res display where as my Nokia N900 which is six months only has a whopping 800 x 480 pixels which make internet browsing a boon.
N8 has a video HW accelerator chip which makes it a capable gaming device. How many games are available in market which uses this chip.
USD OTG, remember O2 flame which as a USB reader 3 years ago? Well any body of N8 user feels it is a must to have feature. Please tell me what have you used this feature for and if can you live without it?
Symbian 3 has some improvements which has been stated here by some users. Can you please explain what features has it got which were not present on Nokia N97 or similar products.
Is N8 a winner only because of its 12 mpix high quality imaging capability. Thats it???
I am really confused and need you all N8 users guidance if N8 is really worth a buy or should wait for better handsets coming in near future. Heard Nokia is producing future handsets with high res screen and 1,2 ghz processor to compete in the fast moving market to cover up their losses in last 2 years.
Good luck to you all.

look n8 has indeed a good specs to boast of.new apps will be available for n8 for sure as nokia shown us the same till date.may be android has more useful apps but are you thinking that android conserves battery charge?with lot of app open android can drain up battery faster than symbian.and as nokia has decided not to use android they will try their level best to improve symbian for their existance. So it gives us good hope about nokia.and sound clarity of nokia phones is of best class which is equal to se phones. No other phones have good sound clarity.and nokia posses a good market value for second sale.its proved that n8 has good popularity too.buying n8 wont be a waste for sure.defects in any n8 will be rectified by nokia. And nokia is providing additional one year free service coverage for a nominal amount.

I have never had any of those problems. With the spb app and swype this phone cannot be beat.

I've had the phone since last November and it has not crashed once, I have not seen a memory full message either. I play some games, browse the web a bit and use it to watch full length feature films on my wide screen tv.
My friend had a different phone connected to his TV and was blown away by the phones picture and sound quality 5.1 DTS or something.
Phone calls, with the phone or skype are great, txting with swype or the normal keyboard is a breeze. I've never noticed a lack of home screen customisations. I use the phone to make calls etc it makes my day and life easier, it is not my life or an excuse for one. It's a phone at the end of the day. Came here looking for news on the upgrade, I'm surprised to see all the knocking from none N8 users, have you people got nothing better to do.
