oho, 20 May 2010Guys please .. why would you need a 1GHz processor if it works well on a 680MHz one?!! Is it j... morejust say nokia can't able to give 1ghz cpu.
I still belive market depend on demand.
if we want 1ghz cpu, some one give it and some one not, we go for who gives it....

Also anyone who thinks this phone will be cheap... guess again. N95.. £500 sim free, N96 £500 sim free, 9100 communicator, £500 sim free.. N97, N97 mini, N900.. all £500 sim free... this phone will be £500 sim free lol. Flag ship nokia aka £500 nokia. And this is another reason I will buy it... I want the phone for its features in which i will most probably use 90% of, not for it "cool" factor....

I currently am still using my SE P990i! I have been using it every since I managed to get a hold of it a month before it was offically released in the UK. I almost nearly upgraded to the N97 last year, I got the phone sim free but had to sell it after 2weeks for personal reasons. However... This N8 I will deffinately buy. I would have brought the N97 again if this phone was not due to be released. My last nokia was the great nokia 6230, great phone. And I have been a fan of Sony Ericsson smart phones, the P900 and P990i rocked the world, beat any smartphone out. But this N8... Beats any phone out there... just need to see how the Iphone 4G ends up like (although i am utterly against apple so even if it is better, will not buy a iphone). people destroy this phone with bad comments, look at the spec... find me a better phone with all them specs. You could easily control a nuclear silo with this phone. Again hardware is perfectly matched and if there is a 32gb version, i will stick to the 16gb version to keep performance increased. Anyone that bad mouths this phone really has no Idea what a good mobile phone is, to date, this is the best all rounder!... others may be better at just 1 thing.

- hmph...

Damian Dinning, 20 May 2010Hi, I have nothing to hide. Re-fixed battery, should you need to re-start the device there ... moreno offense....and as you might guess from my chosen name, i had an n82, still love it to bits, mainly for the killer camera.. You were one of main mans behind that phone, just wanted you to know that your work was truly appreciated by me for 2 whole years. keep up the good work, and plz make the n8 a worthy upgrade.us nokia loyals miss the good old days when our phones just ate every other phone out there for breakfast, and then went on to eat some compacts for lunch.

price much more than you will pay??????????"
You don't know what you are talking about. It's all about the interplay between the hardware and the OS. The Nexus One is better spec'd than the iPhone3GS but the latter still provides incredibly smoother experience.
I expect the N8 to be perfectly balanced w/r to hard- and software and to provide an awesome user experience. Actually, nobody can tell whether this will be the case or not, bit everybody who claims that this device "sucks" because the CPU is not 1GHz is a moron.

We all want to have a "all-in-one gadget" a perfect phone but we can't have it all we can only "almost have it all" and it is in this Nokia N8. If you are looking for a high end phone why don't you wait for HTC evo 4. Still not perfect but it might satisfy you penchant for perfect phone for the time being.

Most of the comments at gsmarena about n8 are posotive
i remember when n97 ios annoiunced, the netizen bash nokia fpor not putting 12mp xenon flash, so liittle ram and no gpu . And slow cpu
plastic body
6 months of waiting time, software bugs all over, resistive sceen, no multitouch
nokia has now done it:)

Fact: this phone has the perfect CPU for its intended purpose.
Fact: it doesn't NEED more RAM.
Fact: Symbian is an optimised OS which needs far less CPU cycles to do much more than its competitors.
Fact: iPhone makes me think of a Mercedez equiped with a Tata engine - lovely to look at, but useless once the going gets tough...
As soon as the N8 is available, my trusty old N95 8gb will at last retire, and I will have another few year of multi-tasking, heavy browsing, media rich years of bliss with my shiny new (blue) N8...

This is shaping up to be an amazing piece of kit and a reasonable price! I for one will be having one as soon as it's out!
Apple fanboys can go change their nappies now lol

price mu... moreFrom Symbian^3 the processor Speed (1Ghz) doesn't matter much since everything from now-on will depend on GPU speed..
What matters most is the "GPU speed".. this thing has broadcom GPU which has 3-4 times the power of Cortex A8 used in milestone or Droid or 2 times the GPU power of SnapDragon.
It just shows how ignorant you are.

Get real .. you don't get all these features in a phone with 370 euros!!

Wow, just wow. Sweet device from Nokia. I'd lost a little faith in Nokia after the N97, but the N8 looks like a dream come true, finally a phone with all the bells and whistles AND proper camera. Just hope they don't screw up the user experience, yeah, that's the thing Apple does really well. I'm ready to throw my money at Nokia with this one.

but point is Vivaz has better specs and by the time this comes out Vivaz will be probably 3 times (talking about second hand and it will too be cheaper a lot) cheaper since its already cheaper than low end N97 who has way low specs
