I have owned the N8 over 2 months now and I have never had a problem with it! Cameras on most phones are at best average quality - this however, really does equal most compact cameras. Nokia really have taken camera phones to a different level!!!
For the money, seriously nothing beats the N8. Anyone know when the new firmware update is coming - rumour is Monday 24th January but I will believe this when I see it.

I'm eargely awaiting the N9. But knowing South Africa, itz probably gna cost in the region of R9500-R10000 which is too much fer me as Im a college student. The N8 looks so tempting though, bt nah, I'll wait
