thanks for the links.
i tried the phone myself, and the signal bars did not drop !!!
the iphone 4, galaxy s and N8 are all great phones.
the galaxy S would have been Perfect, if it wasnt plastic, and had a better speaker.
the iphone makes you work after it.
jailbreak, depend on computer softwares to upload stuff , no micro sd and noflash.
the USer interface is on apple is something nobody can match, but on the whole, i think nokia N8 will give it a run for its money in many ways.
wait till it has spent a month in the market !!!

the N8 is not threatened by iPhone4 or Galaxy S., but looks like the users of the iP4 and glxy S definitely are !!!
after months of raging war between iP4 / Galaxy S / wave, this looks like the new battleground !!!
This phone is a perfect balance of EVERYTHING !!!!

I tried this phone in the priority store, and it was far from slow.
i dont think speed will be an issue on this phone.
I was able to manage my N97 with primitive specs at a pretty decent speed while moderately loaded up.
this phone is much better.
Nokia will definitely come out with plenty of decent apps. to compete with the other smartphones.
wait till we get the sales figures of this phone within a month of its release :)

Hi Guys,
this phone will be available for 22k in india after a week through non priority stores.
we all know that pre-orders are expensive !!!
The silver piece looks good in picts, but the dark grey and red are gorgeous when you actually look at it.
Btw, the review was awesome. (AND NON BIASED)
After using N96 and N97, i almost swore never to buy a nokia, BUT
No PHONE gives ALL OF these as a combo on a single phone:
1. Best Camera and XENON FLASH
2. Best Audio Output
3. Best Connectivity( HDMI and USB ) (the usb should be a trendsetter)
4. At par with best video recording(720p @ 25fps) and Browsing capabilities(flashlite and Opera)
5. Plays most video formats 720p(even my last Wave did not play large HD files)
6. Have you heard of a mouse being used on a mobile screen. Simply awesome !!!
7. Good speaker clarity.
8. and above all, no network or in call issues.(no dropping bars :) )
This is the ACTUAL " RETURN OF THE KING "
I am surely gonna get this one !!!!

And please tell us in which particular instances you felt it was "slow and laggy"? I have watched numerous video reviews and I am just not seeing this.
Perhaps it all boils down to you wanting to see it as "slow and laggy" so you will. A sort of self fulfilling prophecy.

Stuntman, 13 Oct 2010Dude:
Very interesting analogy. I know that I want to upgrade my N97 to something else. W... more;-)
Same with me here. I've been using my 5320 for two years now. Usually I upgrade before a year has passed, but in this case, it stuck. I spent a LOT of time h@ck*ng my phone and installing...N-gage games... :-D I kinda like them-always been a fan. My phone still does its job pretty well- plays good music, handles calls decently and among other things.
All my pals have switched over to Android and one clown to an iPhone4. One day, I should do that too- but as I said about the smokes, it's easier said than done. Tried out my friend's Desire once- couldn't make head or tail out of it and gave it back within two minutes. Time for me to move on to a Symbian touch platform and later migrate to the opposition when the time's ripe.
I plan to wait for a month or two for the prices to drop- then I would probably get an N8. The specs are too good for the price- you have to be mad to ignore something like this. Since I come straight from the s60 camp, I don't think there would be a steep learning curve for me when it comes to using Symbian^3.

Nokia shares up at 11.29 on 13 Oct 2010 from 9.82 at market close on 29 Sept 2010. A 15% increase in around 2 weeks!
The N8 seems to be having some sort of positive effect....

Nokia didn"t see the Potential in Touch Screen mobiles an lost out to the others,they are catching up slowly,Symbian never got advanced by Nokia until the iPhone turned up,an really showed Nokia that Symbian was not so fast an not so simple software,with the N8 being a Top Camera mobile will help Nokia sales an shares,Meego will be alot better for Nokia an working with Intel should really good partnership,still will be getting the N8 do not worry,as a new Browser on its way,an with further updates the N8 can only get better

No video light is a deal breaker when I want to record sex in the dark. ;) The phone has a great camera and materials used for it. Other than that, it doesn't blow me away. Nokia needs to come up with something that is a gamechanger. Something that makes me want to throw my current phone in the trash. Most of their releases is trying to play catch up to iOS and Android. Nothing that makes me go, "WOW!" Nokia needs to get away from Symbian already. Outdated crap,
- 25fps

I'm very amused at this fuss over 25fps / 30fps video. The likely reason why the n8 adopted 25fps videos is for exact compatibility with the 25fps standard for PAL - and of course, PAL is the video standard in parts of Asia and Europe (where, as we know, Nokia is from). It has nothing to do with the actual ability of the hardware.
I'd attribute our obsession with 30fps (along with the obsession with iPhones and Blackberrys), at least in part, to the fact that we all read way too many dumb American tech sites (Engadget, Gizmodo etc) and take their reviews way too seriously. They live in their own little bubble and have little or no idea about how things are panning out elsewhere in the world.
We've got brains of our own. We've got our own standards.
25fps is awesome, and in many ways I prefer this cinema-like frame-rate.

samsung wave,milestone x10...these r the worthy competitors os n8!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA...LOL
i knew this would happen...cuz from the begining nokia were always towards the camera of N8...but what about the OS,what about the speed....even now nokia is releasing updates for the camera...OH COME ON NOKIA.....improve the speed and performance...cuz it lags like hellll!!but even if the updates comes for speed and performance...there will no such groundbreaking results...becuz of low cpu nd ram....nd yeah the main disadvantage of nokia is as days goes by the phone slows nd slows nd slows.in todays days every manufacturer is going for higher processors nd ram nd sp a good OS....nd the outdated symbian OS(don't know why the nokia isn't making MAEMO the mainstream OS for all its devices)...there is hardly any difference between my previous SE SATIO nd N8...its the damn same thing...nd it will be unnecessary to spend money on this device only for the CAM!!!...there r better devices out there ffaaarr better than N8
1)iphone4...awesome build,excellent cam,lightning fast speeds ,gorgeous display,tons of apps to choose frm,APPLE iOS, facetime(actually it works great)..JAILBREAK....ETC ETC
2)galaxy S....again the build is not that nice,camera is good but the flash could have made it perfect,it is fast(bt not as fast as iphone 4), SUPER AMOLED display,great apps but the store is not as huge as apple app store but 100 times better than OVI store,android OS..ETC ETC

I also find it interesting how people feel the need to perfectly box phones into specific genres (business phone, multimedia phone, smartphone blah blah blah) yet in my view these lines are extremely blurred nowadays. I would find it interesting to have a long discussion about the supposed differences between these phones. In my view a "multimedia" phone like the N8 can usually perform all the functions of a "business" phone anyway.
And why would it not be accurate of GSM Arena to compare the N8 to those phones mentioned? What exactly is it that they can do that the N8 can't? An "easier to use, less complex UI and a large app store"... is that the definition of a smartphone nowadays?
GSM Arena was perfectly accurate in asking whether there is in fact any phone that can be called the best at the moment. The market is too diverse.
