Great Phone, i have it since december and it`s geting along very well with my needs, batery life about 4-5 days with minimal use of browser or apps, and about 1,5 day if i play all day and browse the net as common as anyone, the pics and video super great in daylight, i have some pics and videos that are nicer than those made with my sony dedicated camera, at night the pics are acceptable with its own xenon blitz, but if u have a source of light near i recomend turning of the blitz the pics are gona` turn up great for a night photo; browsing is a little unfriendly with its own browser, but you cand find on OVI store the browser Opera 10 version available wich is realy great, easy to use and has a lot of options that make youre browsing life better :P; if u love games u will love this phone, NFS Shift, Asphalt 5,6,7, Angry Birds, Marbles Maze, Golf are some of the best games i have on my phone, the sensor response in gaming is quick and precise and even has some finess setings if u dont like thw way its set up as standard.
Now let`s talk about the N8`s two rivals, i say just two because in my opinion those are the two other phones that i concidered buing before i got the Nokia, first the Iphone4, realy a great phone if u are Paris Hilton :)), but serios now,it`s slimer than the nokia mainly because the n8`s camera is so big, it`s shiny surface can make it a little to pretensious as where you leave it and how you handle it, scratches may apera from an early period of use, the retina display is great, it seems that is a little faster in moving the icons on the display than the nokia,pics are good, movies are also good, almost as the nokia`s, well...almost, and that`s about it, oh yeah there are a lot of cool apps for it, but now every phone has those, realy the main reason why i didn`t buy the iphone is that i think is kinda boring, one of my roommates has one and i have tested it a lot, and that`s my opinion;
Now the other rival, the Samasung`s Galaxy S,is my other roomates`s phone, realy i have two roommates , one has the Iphone, the other the Galaxy S, so i was fortunate enough to test them and see wich i liked the best, now the Galaxy`s screen is bigger than the n8 and I4,the display is very good, it gave me the impresion that Samsung overtried to beat Apple,and made milions and milions of icon places on the desktop,no realy my friend phone is overcrouded with shortcuts, u dont even need to enter the menu :), it the most intersting desktop betwen the 3 phones,aldow it`s not that bright and clear as the other two`s,it`s browser is nice and friendly and has a special seting dedicated just for seeing HD videos, it responds quick and promt to youre every toch... well almost every toch,the batery life it`s like the Iphone`s, about 2-3 days and less if u play with it.The camera is also good, i couldn`t make any diference betwen the pics made with it and the ones made with the Iphone4, it`s slimmer and lighter then the other two and looks like the twin brother of Iphone`s 3G :), really it does.
To sume up, the nokia N8 is my choice becouse is the interesting phone with more utilities and gagets, realy i thing is has a great personality :). Goodbye friends.

                  Nokia, has announced today that,on the 11th of february (just before the
                  MWC starting 14th) at London, will
                  unveil the future strategy of the
                  company along with some interesting
                  facts about the market performance
                  (Q4 2010 results ?).The most interesting thing for us will be,of
                  course, the strategy. Fyi,this is the first
                  real media briefing after Stephen Elop
                  took over the reigns, so we can
                  expect some real changes to the
                  strategy,no ? They have stated here that the event
                  will be happening for just half a day,
                  starting 11 A.M U.K time. The event will
                  be followed up by some Q&As from
                  12.30 to 4.00 P.M (man! are they
                  announcing something really big that may arise so many questions?!) also,
                  people who can’t attend the event can watch a live webcast. The website also
                  says that all the other details like
                  online registration, venues will be
                  decided in the coming weeks. Just in time for a great MWC, where the
                  devices will be actually announced. Edit : While googling 2010′s Nokia Capital Markets Day announcement, i
                  found this : Nokia Devices & Services
                  operational priorities In addition to providing its key
                  financial targets, Nokia also outlined
                  key Devices & Services operational
                  priorities for 2010. These are: - Improve our user experience;
                  - Re-engineer our Symbian user interface; deliver a major product milestone before mid-year 2010 , and another major product milestone before the end of 2010; - Deliver our first Maemo 6- powered mobile computer, with an iconic user experience, in the second half of 2010; - Significantly increase the proportion
                  of touch and/or QWERTY devices in
                  our smartphone portfolio;
                  - Scale up our Services business by
                  expanding geographically and in
                  partnership with more operators; - Provide third party developers with
                  better tools to create applications and
                  content for our Ovi ecosystem;
                  - Further optimize the industry’s lowest cost end-to-end business
                  model in Mobile Phones; and
                  - Continue to build on our affordable
                  and localized services offerings for
                  emerging market consumers. These are just the devices and services
                  announcements of 2010′s CMD. Can you see the bolded lines above ?Nokia
                  have completely failed to
                  meet those deliverables. 2011 is the year to rectify their mistakes, deliver
                  the promised, hope Nokia measures
                  upto the expectations atleast this time. So, people, what do you think this
                  year’s strategy is? or should be? the comments section is wide open for discussions

                              Public point, 11 Jan 2011Kelly, can you please explain the reason of thinking that N8 "PROBABLY NOT" surfing ... morei thought it's just a good camera phone. It's great to know that it's capable of internet browsing too. Thanks.

                                      I read the below comments in one website and wanna share with you guys!!

                                      Galaxy S VS Nokia N8
                                      ---------------------------------------------------
                                      The resolution of N8's screen is 640*360 = 230400 pixels. When compared with Galaxy 480*800 = 384000 pixel; this means the galaxy has to process 1.66 times info everytime. But when we compare the processor (1Ghz vs 680Mhz) the galaxyS is only 1.47 times "faster" To come up to the mark of N8 Galaxy needs to have 1.1 Ghz processor. Though the difference is not much, it proves the point clearly. And N8 has a dedicateg GPU too !!! Did someone say retina display ;-)
