I never ever understand why people are fighting on net for phones and mainly for OS. Everybody knows that each and every phone are different and also work differently. You should choose which feature you are going to use in a phone and find your best mate.
In my opinion Nokia N8 is best and same way Iphone(s) and other high end androids too are best. Each phone have their weakness and strong points.
Cheers..

Now I currently use a previous version and I think it is fine so major improvements on that must mean great.
These same reviews have said that the N8 is by far the best phone ever released by Nokia. Again this is saying a lot as they have released many exceptional phones.
My personal view is that the iPhone has ruined it for all of us. The masses are now dictating that this is the way a phone should function, due in part too the great Apple marketing machine, and the reviewers are following suit. All of a sudden it is all about user interface and simplicity... two things that really are not high on my agenda.
Don't pull that trigger just yet ;)

Time will tell if it is obsolete or if they actually update the OS and improve it, though recent headlines suggest they might. The quirks and bugs seem pretty well documented but perhaps they are mostly the type that don't bother most users, only those who have a grudge and must find some reason to hate the phone.

Tim, 22 Oct 2010If you want a slick user interface and tons of apps, then obviously go Droid 2 or iPhone 4 or ... moreTim, I was in full agreement with you until we got to this part :
"you basically have to pick from an obsolete and buggy OS"
Nokia has made it clear that Symbian^3 is not obsolete and they will now be making upgrades to Symbian^3 and not releasing a Symbian^4. In fact going forward they will just refer to Symbian. Far from obsolete.
And I also beg to differ on the buggy part. The way Symbian does things may not appeal to some but I do not see it as buggy. In my experience it has always done what I require of it. Obviously you could possibly find one or two issues but this is usually true on any software on any device.
I see you did correct those comments a little by adding :
"At least if you pick the obsolete and buggy OS, there's hope that it may be updated and improved."
We need to change that from "might" to "will" though.

The photo review was clearly fixed, or someone leaked the results. There is NO WAY that the camera on this is better than a dedicated Digi cam.
It is good though, and a worthy successor to the N82. More of the same please Nokia.
Such a shame about Symbian though. It needs retiring, or a complete overhaul from the first line of code upwards.

Got my Nokia N8 a week ago. Love it! I mean, really love IT!! Finally a phone with top camera AND real flash that creates great photos indoors and in dark settings. Connected it to my TV yesterday, and it worked flawlessly showing off photos and videos to my friends. This phone is meant for sharing moments (and connecting people). Its a big recommondation from me!
PS: Yes, the photos are the best in class, but the videos this phone creates are also breathtaking. Heres a film project using Nokia N8 only: http://vimeo.com/dragonflylove
And heres a comparison btw Nokia N8 and IPhone 4 (look how fast Nokia N8 is acting in the changing light conditions at the end, your going to love that):

Tim, 22 Oct 2010If you want a slick user interface and tons of apps, then obviously go Droid 2 or iPhone 4 or ... moreThat's basically it, isn't it? The hardware is all there, it's just down to the software.
And TBH considering everything that it does *out of the box*, Symbian has been and is a pretty solid offering. Clunky, sure. And with the occasional bug? Definitely annoying. But all the sheer functionality works.
I have to admit that Apple's approach does have its appeal: simply exclude a feature 'till it can be easily handled by the hardware and dressed in a slick UI. Fortunately for me, Nokia takes the opposite approach: chuck the features in and make 'em work. Users who want the features will know about them when they buy the phone; others will be pleasantly surprised when they discover just what their handset is capable of.
