Nokia N8 Disappointing: First Reviews

hi its really nice phone but only hanging problem some times

i went to a unnatisilk show room i am geting a one saree. in this show room gives a low price rate at of all sarees and bulk discount also given.

i agree.. Eldar is one of the best mobile phone journalists that the world has seen.. He is not retarded.. Someone who gives an honest insight into a company will always have people speaking ill against him.. I too have used a lot of nokia phones and when Eldar says that nokia is losing out on its top end symbian devices to android and the likes, I do agree with him. for all you nokia fanboys, try comparing this N8 to the samsung galaxy S, the HTC evo 4g(both - android based devices) and even the iphone 4 for that matter and you'll come to know what he means to say.. He's not paid by any manufacturer and gives absolutely unbiased reviews. If someone is letting you know things honestly, they deserve a little more respect than what we are showing them here in the comments section.. And yes, ihe's reviewed a prototype but its highly unlikely that nokia will get everything to work flawlessly by the time this phone hits the shelves.. Peace!!

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW PRICE IN MUMBAI OF NOKIA N8

I Want New Nokia N8 Any How......

Hi All Please consider the following feedback before buying N8: >Average virtual keyboards >Unintuitive UI >Unimpressive internet experience >Confusing connection management >Poor social network integration Rest all fine

@Saheb I guess u have been proved wrong now, both abt the legitimacy of reviews by Eldar and by saying that Nokia doesnt make it rite. So peace :D

Whats the point in bashing a prototype? Eldar is probably retarded or even worse he might have started getting money from Apple like most of the sites do.

Where Is Availabel Nokia N8...??????

I want to know rescent rate in coimbatore................

when it available in india

Its surprising how a camera attribute can be considered a major feature in a cell phone. For people who are aware about the limits of such cameras, the XX MP is good as a basic digital camera, unless it can provide u the zoom. And resolution at zoom can ONLY happen with a long barrel lens(optical zoom) , which can NEVER be fitted in a mobile phone. So all the hype about 12 MP camera is total exaggeration. These cameras are only good for basic photography. Adding higher MP is just adding more resolution to normal images. A N8 buyer will most definitely have a separate camera that can serve better than the one with N8. A cellphone has to have more features to enhance the basic reason for a cellphone. Well if u buy a N8 for photography, I am certainly wrong, but I wonder how many such generous customers can Nokia get. The different interfaces to the diff media (TV, HD) serve a very niche segment.

nice phone

I read a lot of comments on how crap the this phone is even before it has hit the stores and it makes me laugh. I do have a question to you Android and Iphone OS lovers out there, is there any special feature or function that is available on your phones (lets put games aside shall we) that is not available on on a Symbian OS. I hear some argue that the CPU is not fast enough. For me this argument is as false and old as the CPU on an MAC is not as "highspec-ed' as one in a Windows machine. Higer CPU speed is irrelevent if the job gets done just as well on a lower clock speed and in this case, the Symbian OS does not a 1GHz processor to do the same job. Some have asked why it did not come Android OS. I ask you the same, why doesn't the IPhone does not come with Android? One more point i would want to add to question comments that the screen resolution is too low for a flagship model. Was the N86 a flagship model for Nokia, I never thought so. It was the best camera phone Nokia produced up to that time (replacing the N82, the previous photography top dog) but it was never in the "flagship" price range even though it was no slouch when HW was concenred. I think it should be obvious when the price was also announced for the N8 that this is meant to be a the best in the market Nokia camera phone and not nessesarily the top of the pile Nokia phone. Perhaps its to soon for the N9 (possibly loaded with Symbian 4) to replace the N97.

Doesn't seem like this Eldar guy has much knowledge on HDMI ports etc. Looks like some people worship him.

Some filthy russians have made some estimations of their own based on completely wrong product is causing the other reporting idiots to run around like headless chickens..:)

one more symbian crap phone n8 looks clone of n97 with 4 inch screen nothing else same ui

NOkia is going worse. i buyed a n5800xm but its horrible in touch screen. i kicked off after 4 months and buyed android phone samsung i5700 spica.

This is a joke. I have no idea if the N8 is good or bad. But I would not give a dime on a preview posted on some obscure Russian web-site. The real joke is that many bloggers and tech web-sites jump on the bandwagon and trash the N8. What do they base their trashing on? Like me, they have never held the N8 in their hands, let alone ever used the device. But it must be bad, the Russian says so... Read the preview on the Russian website on your own, there is just no substance to it. The author does not seem to be a professional and does not seem to understand what he is writing about.

1) What are the additional features of N8 over N97? 2) Are we buying Camera or Mobile Hand Set? 3) Price is deciding factor.

You guys don't know Eldar, he is one of the top phone journalists in the world. His reviews are held in high regard and he always gets phones 3-4 months before it even releases to the public. If you doubt him, please use Google to check his credentials.

This is a joke? This is supposed to a model that would be announced in 3-5 months from now, and they say they have already tested it? How does it compare against the 2012 iPhone, they must have tested that too? LOL
